A temple photograph showing a person in an orange sleeveless robe and matching orange cloth over the head bending forward to press their hands onto a dark stone lingam-like object on a white-draped platform. Behind them stand two large gilded deity murtis with red turban crowns, garlands of yellow and red flowers framing a gold arch, and one holds a trident. In front, a white marble seated statue with raised hand and a small red mark on its forehead sits on a low wooden step. Brass lamps stand at the left.2010-01-02February 09 20122012-02-09A photograph inside a temple shrine. A figure in an orange-saffron robe with a draped orange garment bends forward, placing hands on a small white-and-orange seated figure lying on a white cloth draped over an altar. Behind is a golden deity murti pair with red and gold crowns, garlanded with yellow and red marigold flowers and red curtains. A white seated stone figure with raised hand sits in the foreground, and tall brass oil lamps stand at the sides. The scene appears to be a ritual bathing or abhishekam-style offering. The figure's identity is uncertain, so the role is described as a robed devotee.2010-01-02 +1 copiesFebruary 09 20122012-02-09A standing man in saffron-orange robes, head and shoulders draped with an orange cloth, offers flowers at a shrine.
