Outdoor photo of devotees performing worship at black stone Shivalinga murtis draped in white cloth and garlanded with red roses and white jasmine strands, with rose petals scattered on the ground and potted plants behind. Two men stand in front with palms pressed together in anjali mudra: one in a bright blue kurta with a rudraksha mala, the other in a purple polo shirt and cream dhoti-style trousers with glasses. A third person in a patterned maroon kurta and cream dupatta stands partly visible at the left edge. The scene suggests padapuja at the lingams. No figure is identifiable as a person.

Four bare-chested men sit among them: at left a man in orange-brown cloth with a rudraksha mala, at centre a man in a white dhoti with a mala, and at right an older white-haired man in a white dhoti and orange shawl with a mala, both hands lifted in prayer. A fourth man stands at left in a purple and orange lower cloth, touching his forehead. Brass vessels, a small oil lamp and flower offerings sit on a cloth at right, and a red flag hangs in the foreground beside a metal railing. Their roles and a person's presence are not visually established.2016-11-22December 03 20162016-12-03November 07 20112011-11-07January 15 20182018-01-15 +1 copiesA photograph of a temple shrine with a stone shivalinga on a carved lotus-base pedestal, covered in white paste, flower petals and a yellow-red garland. A figure with long, loose dark hair and a white band on the forehead wears a saffron-orange robe and stands barefoot on wet stone, hands joined in prayer with head bowed. Behind him a young attendant in orange robes holds a brass plate, and an older man in white and orange sits further back. Scattered petals float in shallow water, and ornate deity figures in silver and red garments stand in the background beneath a stone pavilion roof with trees beyond.2008-01-17
