A seated deity murti in an arched silver frame wears an orange cloth, a red turban-like crown, a golden trident-like staff and a garland of marigold and green leaves. A man in saffron-orange robes stands at right, holding a lit oil lamp aloft toward the deity while a second lamp burns on a stand. Other devotees in the background are partly visible among the trees, and a tall pole rises beside the shrine.2009-07-07A devotee in an orange-saffron robe stands at right, holding a lit camphor flame in one hand and a brass handbell in the other, performing aarti before a seated deity murti. The murti is draped in red-orange cloth, wears gold jewellery and a red crown, and sits on a gold throne beneath a white arched shrine frame. Its body is garlanded with marigolds and bright green and white flower strings. Brass lamps and offerings lie on a small stone table before it. The scene is set under shady trees in an open outdoor shrine area, with a few distant figures in orange and white clothing visible in the background. The devotee's robe matches the saffron of the murti's cloth, and the setting is an outdoor puja.2009-07-07March 02 20112011-03-02July 22 20132013-07-22August 02 20162016-08-02January 01 20082008-01-01Outdoor temple scene under large shade trees.

The murti has a crown, a kumkum mark and large ornate jewellery, and its raised hand holds a small brass bell. Green foliage and a carved silver arch frame the scene, with a brass bell at lower left. This appears to be an aarti offering at a shrine.2011-12-28
