A woman in an orange-and-maroon sari with a yellow and orange flower garland performs an aarti with a lit lamp before decorated murti images. Two deity figures sit on a golden throne-like seat draped in orange, purple and white garlands, one wearing a tall gold crown and jewelled necklaces, the other with a tall ornate headdress. A second, smaller decorated murti sits beside them, wrapped in green and pink cloth and garlanded. Gold-framed arches and red-and-gold brocade complete the shrine setting. No physical a person candidate is visible.

On the right, two large gilded deity murti figures with crowns, crescent-moon ornaments and gold jewellery sit draped in layered garlands of red, orange, yellow, white and purple flowers over a gold-brown cloth. Rose petals are scattered on the white floor and a red velvet curtain hangs behind. The scene suggests an abhishekam or puja. The priest's appearance does not clearly establish him as a person, so the identity is recorded as unsure.2015-01-09January 09 20152015-01-09January 09 20152015-01-09A man in a rust-red dhoti and wrap with a red turban, gold necklace and flower garlands stands at left smiling and gesturing toward three richly decorated deity murtis seated on ornate golden thrones. The central and right murtis wear red, yellow and purple flower garlands, jeweled silver and gold ornaments, and gold crowns, and sit on a green embroidered base. A purple-lined throne and a teal-lined throne stand empty behind them, and wisps of incense smoke rise in the background. The setting is a stage with a dark red curtain.2018-04-27 +1 copiesNovember 26 20172017-11-26
