Photograph taken from behind a crowd at a temple doorway with dark carved wooden frame and a relief panel above it. A figure with long dark hair wears an orange-saffron garment and a garland of red, yellow and green flowers over the shoulders; he reaches toward a lit oil lamp and a deity murti inside the shrine. A priest in white dhoti with gold border stands at right, holding a silver vessel, and another man in a rudraksha mala with a white garment stands at the lower right. Dark maroon curtains with gold borders hang at left. Several heads of devotees fill the foreground.

Smoke or incense haze fills the inner sanctum. Oil lamps burn on a brass lamp stand and a tray of fruit and offerings sits on a gold-cloth covered platform. In the foreground, several devotees in white, cream and teal clothing watch and sit with hands folded, and one person holds a lit flame. A carved wooden door frames the left side and a rainbow-coloured garland hangs across the arch. The orange-robed figure cannot be confidently matched to a person from appearance alone, so the identity is left unsure.2006-01-24A photograph taken at a dark stone doorway of a temple shrine.
