A photograph of a temple shrine where a man with bare upper body, wearing an orange saffron turban and orange dhoti with an orange shawl draped over one shoulder, stands with his back to the camera. He wears a dark beaded mala and white ash markings on his arms and back, and reaches toward a deity murti seated in a gilded arched niche backed by red drapery. The murti wears a tall ornate gold crown, a rich red and gold brocade covering, and floral garlands, with a small lit incense stick smoking nearby. Red-and-gold pillars with green and yellow floral panels frame the shrine, with red flowers at the base.

A photograph of a temple shrine during worship. A bare-chested priest in orange-red dhoti and an orange turban stands at left, with a rudraksha mala draped over his shoulder and white markings on his arms and chest. He holds a lit oil lamp toward a deity murti dressed in red and gold, adorned with a crown, floral garlands and ornate necklaces. The ornate gold arched shrine frame is flanked by red pillars decorated with yellow and green floral and dove motifs, and a red curtain forms the backdrop. Rose petals or leaves lie at the base of the deity. This appears to be a puja or aarti.2021-03-08ADIKAILASA on 3/8/20212021-03-08ADIKAILASA on 3/8/20212021-03-08September 27 20182018-09-27A photograph of a shaven-chested priest in saffron-orange dhoti and orange turban performing worship before a richly dressed deity murti in a gilded shrine. The priest wears white sandalwood or vibhuti markings on his arms and chest and a rudraksha-style sacred cord, and gestures with his right hand over the image while holding a tray of flowers and a small cup near the bottom left. The murti is adorned with a tall gold crown, a red and gold patterned garment, a multi-strand gold necklace and garlands, with a high arch of embroidered red-and-gold fabric behind it. The shrine frame is ornate gold with red curtains, flanked by pillars decorated with yellow, blue and green floral and dove motifs. Incense sticks and a brass vessel sit at the right edge. The priest is a visible person; the murti is a statue. No identifiable a person cues are clearly present, so the figure is described by role only.2021-03-08December 22 20182018-12-22A photograph of a temple puja before a richly decorated deity murti.
