Two men in saffron-orange robes stand before an ornate shrine with gold-framed arch and red drapes. A bare-chested man with a shaved head, wearing a red-and-gold shawl and red garland, raises his palms above his head in a devotional gesture. Beside him a long-haired man in orange with rudraksha-style beads folds his hands in prayer. Before them stands a deity murti with a crown, a trident-like staff and a red garland, flanked by a mounted figure in gold and teal; a small white figure with a flower garland sits at the base. Brass oil lamps and a kalasha flank the shrine, and a camera is visible at the lower right.

A bare-chested priest in an orange-red dhoti and shoulder cloth, with white markings on his body, stands at center holding a silver bowl. Behind him, a large golden deity murti and a second deity form, both in garlands of red and white flowers, look over an ornate arched shrine. A younger assistant in orange stands at the left edge. The murti at the front is adorned with a rudraksha-like necklace and gold ornaments, and flower garlands drape the altar.2012-04-24January 02 20092009-01-02April 24 20122012-04-24January 02 20092009-01-02April 24 20122012-04-24April 27 20122012-04-27April 17 20122012-04-17January 02 20092009-01-02January 02 20092009-01-02
