A photograph of a priest in a rust-red turban and bare-chested with a rust-orange dhoti and shawl, holding a brass oil lamp with a flame toward a deity murti. The murti is a female form adorned with a gold crown, green silk sari, pearl and gold necklaces and white jasmine garlands, set within a gold arch and ringed by red, yellow, purple and white flower garlands. A small fire with a pink flower offering burns at the base. The priest's face is turned away, and his appearance does not clearly establish that he is a person, so the a person field is unsure. One person is visible.2018-04-27April 27 20182018-04-27 +1 copiesNovember 23 20182018-11-23April 23 20132013-04-23 +2 copiesApril 27 20182018-04-27 +1 copiesNovember 15 20212021-11-15ADIKAILASA on 12/26/20212021-12-26A photograph of a temple deity murti decorated for worship, seated in front of a backdrop of red and yellow flower garlands with green leaves.
