Close view of a decorated deity murti or ceremonial figure draped in a dark maroon cloth with a jewelled crown-like headdress and ornate gemstone necklaces. White jasmine garlands and green leaves adorn the figure, with a striped staff or rod rising beside it. A gold and orange brocade backdrop and a silver-toned lamp stand appear behind, with white cloth edged in orange lying across the lower area. No people are visible; the figure is an image or statue, not a person.

A devotee in saffron-orange robes and a matching saffron turban stands at right, palms pressed together in namaskar before a large golden deity murti seated on an ornate throne. The murti is draped in yellow and white flower garlands with red and white accents, and wears a crown and gold ornaments. Behind the figure are gold ceremonial umbrellas, a golden kalasha-like finial and a green leafy backdrop. Pink fabric covers the altar base, and small gold figures flank the throne. The devotee wears a red-and-gold ornamented necklace and bangles. The scene suggests darshan and puja in a temple-like hall.2015-07-06May 25 20132013-05-25 +1 copiesPhoto 11728676 +2 copiesJune 08 20172017-06-08May 30 20182018-05-30A temple sanctum scene during worship at a Shiva lingam decorated with marigold and rose garlands.
