Inside a temple shrine, a bare-backed priest in orange dhoti with gold borders stands at a gold-framed altar decorated with white jasmine garlands and pink flowers, performing worship by a deity murti. Beside him, a second man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala stands near the doorway holding offerings. Silver lamp stands and bowls line the altar, and an arched lit doorway frames the scene. The figure's appearance does not clearly establish a person, and the bare-backed priest is described by role only.

The shaved-headed elder in the foreground, bare-shouldered with a rudraksha mala and gold armlet, reaches toward a gold kalasha-topped shrine holding a gold Nataraja figure, pink flowers and offering vessels. Beside him, a younger man in orange with a red rudraksha headband and rudraksha mala watches. A devotee's arm in white is visible at the right edge. Oil lamps glow along the arch and petals scatter on the floor. The scene appears to be a temple puja or pooja at an altar.2012-05-14 +2 copiesMay 14 20122012-05-14May 10 20122012-05-10June 05 20122012-06-05May 13 20122012-05-13 +2 copiesMay 12 20122012-05-12May 10 20122012-05-10
