A photograph of a temple shrine with a golden arched frame and red silk drapes. Two gilded deity murtis sit within, adorned with yellow and magenta flower garlands; the seated figure wears a red-and-orange headdress. A white dhoti-draped pedestal and small brass lamps, pots and a plate of offerings sit in front. A standing figure in orange robes with a maroon border, back to the camera and bare-shouldered, stands facing the shrine. No clear appearance-based a person candidate is identifiable from the back view, so the role is given as a devotee in orange robes.2011-02-11November 18 20102010-11-18 +2 copiesFebruary 11 20112011-02-11 +1 copiesFebruary 20 20112011-02-20 +1 copiesA photograph inside a stone temple shrine.
