A photograph of a temple shrine with a gilded arch framing a central deity pair seated on a golden throne, one figure with a trident and multiple arms, the other crowned, both draped in garlands of orange and white flowers and white beaded necklaces, with a green backdrop. Two standing figures flank the shrine wearing red and gold garments. In the foreground, a bare-chested priest in a white dhoti with a sacred thread and rudraksha mala bends forward, holding a small brass vessel near the shrine base. Around him, about a dozen devotees in white shirts and dhotis, one woman in an orange sari, and a woman in a cream sari stand close, some with white forehead markings. A brass lamp stand sits to the right. A copyright line is visible in the lower right corner, which is excluded from the text list.

Around him, several men and a woman in plain white clothes stand close together, some with white tilak marks on their foreheads, while brass lamps stand on the stone platform. The scene is a temple puja, with no clearly identifiable a person figure among the visible people.2016-02-27A temple shrine scene where a priest in a white dhoti and shawl, with a sacred thread and tripundra markings, stands at left facing a line of devotees. Several devotees in white clothes are seen from behind and from the side, with hands folded in prayer, including a woman in a white sari with a gold border. At the center, a golden-framed shrine holds a large deity murti with a crown, draped in a blue skirt and garlanded with marigold strings and beaded necklaces, with a silver kalasha-like object and a gold pot-shaped vessel in front. Smaller statues of attendant figures in red and maroon garments stand on either side, also garlanded. Brass lamps flank the shrine, and a green curtain hangs behind it. This appears to be a puja or darshan at a temple shrine.2016-02-27 +1 copiesAugust 28 20152015-08-28October 19 20082008-10-19August 28 20152015-08-28February 27 20162016-02-27 +1 copiesSeptember 05 20172017-09-05October 19 20082008-10-19October 10 20132013-10-10A night photograph of devotees at a temple shrine, viewed from behind.
