A photograph of a temple shrine decorated with multicoloured flower garlands in red, yellow, purple and white. Central deity murti figures wear gold crowns and ornaments, with a golden kalasha-like vessel and a peetha in front. Flanking statues are draped in garlands. In the foreground a person in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with a gold necklace and a multicoloured garland stands smiling with folded hands near the shrine base. Oil lamps stand at the sides and a brass plate sits in front. No clear identity cues are visible for the foreground figure beyond ritual attire, so no identity is asserted.2015-01-04January 04 20152015-01-04 +1 copiesA photograph of a temple shrine decorated with marigold and multicolour flower garlands.
