A standing man with long dark hair wears an orange saffron robe and white flower garland, holding a brass lamp aloft toward two deity murtis seated on a decorated platform. The murtis are adorned with yellow, orange and purple flower garlands; one wears a teal and green garment and a crown, the other a red headdress. Tall brass oil lamps flank the platform, and a brass kalasha sits at its base. Two seated men in orange robes watch at left, one with a rudraksha-style necklace, and a brass vessel rests in the foreground. The scene appears to be an aarti or abhishekam-type puja.2009-12-29March 02 20112011-03-02December 31 20082008-12-31A photograph of a temple shrine during an aarti ritual.

Brass oil lamps stand on either side and a kalasha and bowls rest on the platform. Two seated devotees in orange robes, one with hands pressed together in anjali, watch from the left.
