A woman in a rust-red garment with gold border and a gold-bordered dhoti stands at left, holding a steel plate of pink flower petals and reaching toward a shrine. Inside a wall-mounted shrine on a stone plinth, a white seated figure wears a red-and-orange patterned robe, an orange turban, a garland of white and pink flowers, and a rudraksha-style necklace. Brass oil lamps flank the seated figure, and a painted jungle-style backdrop with carved temple elements and peacock-feather fans surrounds it. A second hand from the left holds another plate of petals. Looks like a shrine puja with petal offering.

June 23 20142014-06-23A woman in a rust-red sari with orange-gold borders stands at left, scattering pink flower petals with her right hand from a silver tray held by a second person at the lower edge. Before her on a stone-patterned altar is a seated statue dressed in a red-orange robe and red turban, adorned with white and red garlands, gold necklaces and bracelets, its hands raised in mudra. Brass oil lamps flank the statue, with a brass kalasha and orange candles nearby. A painted backdrop of temple pillars and greenery surrounds the altar. The statue is a depiction, not a living person.2013-06-23 +1 copiesJune 23 20142014-06-23 +2 copiesJune 23 20142014-06-23 +2 copiesA photograph inside a bare, whitewashed hall with a grey concrete floor. A man in a rust-red turban and matching red-orange dhoti with a gold-coloured waistband, wearing a white-and-red garland, holds a lit oil lamp in one hand and gestures with the other while standing before a seated statue. The statue is a white figure in a red-orange robe and turban, draped in white and red flower garlands and a yellow bead garland, seated on a black lotus-shaped pedestal. Beside it stands an ornate carved wooden throne draped in red and decorated with flower garlands, with a cushion on the floor in front. Offerings of fruit, flowers, a small brass vessel and a red cloth lie on green and red cloths in the foreground. Two women in red saris and a few onlookers stand at the left edge. A red cloth hangs on the wall and a pedestal fan stands nearby. This appears to be a puja performed before the statue and throne.2013-06-23 +2 copiesJune 23 20142014-06-23 +1 copiesJune 29 20142014-06-29 +1 copiesJune 23 20132013-06-23 +1 copiesMay 30 20182018-05-30June 23 20132013-06-23 +2 copiesPhotograph inside a temple shrine with marble-patterned walls and white arches.

A decorated deity murti with flower garlands sits in a niche behind, and a second white-clad attendant stands at the left edge.2012-06-04June 10 20172017-06-10
