A bare-chested priest with a shaved head and white tilak marks sits cross-legged at the lower left, facing a golden statue of a seated sage in an orange-red robe with a red turban, a rudraksha mala and garlands, one hand raised in blessing. The statue sits on a golden throne with a leopard-print cloth beneath it, flanked by two tall brass oil lamps topped with rooster finials and red and yellow rose petals scattered around. In front, a brass pot and plates hold savouries, fried snacks, yellow rice, bananas and fruit, set on a woven mat with a small brass oil lamp. Red drapes and potted plants fill the background, with two golden elephant figures in the foreground. The scene shows a puja offering made before the statue, with one priest visible.

Before her is a seated figure with a golden face, dressed in an orange-red robe and a red turban, wearing layered garlands and a rudraksha-style mala, with bangles on the arms, seated on a leopard-print cushion under a peacock-feather backdrop. The seated figure appears to be a statue or painted murti, not a physical person. Around the floor are brass lamps, a brass kalasha-style vessel, plates of flowers, fruit, vermilion and offerings, and gold elephant stools. Red drapes and gilded pillars frame the setting.2022-01-20December 10 2022 sripuram2022-12-10Jan 18 2022 sripuram2022-01-18Jan 23 2022 sripuram2022-01-23Jan 24 2022 sripuram2022-01-24Jan 23 2022 sripuram2022-01-23A woman in a red and gold saree sits on the polished floor of a gold-decorated temple hall, performing an aarti with a lamp in front of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne. The seated figure wears a red turban, rudraksha and bead necklaces, a garland of white and red flowers, and a leopard-print shawl over a cream garment, with raised right hand in blessing. The throne has an arched golden backrest and sits beside a tall brass lamp stand and a small golden elephant. A flower-filled plate and small brass vessels lie on the floor, and potted plants and a green deity statue stand nearby. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's red turban, layered rudraksha malas, garlands and leopard-print shawl are the cues.2022-01-24
