A priest in a white dhoti and white shawl with a red-bordered edge, wearing an orange-red turban, stands with his back to the camera on a tiered white and red-striped stone platform. He holds small glass vessels or lamps in his hands before a shrine decorated with dense strands of marigold and multicoloured flower garlands in red, yellow, orange and green. Inside the shrine a deity murti in gold-toned ornamentation sits on a red-draped seat. Two dark stone dvarapala-style statues in orange and white cloth flank the steps, and a second white-clad attendant moves near a red curtain on the left. A black speaker sits on each side. A signboard above reads Sri Anandeshwara Temple.

A priest in white dhoti with a red-bordered cloth and an orange-yellow turban stands in the foreground with his back to the camera, raising a lit oil lamp toward a decorated deity murti. The deity is framed by dense garlands in red, orange, yellow, purple and green, and flanked by two dark stone figures. Several people in orange and white stand near the shrine, and a red curtain hangs at left beside a black speaker. Steps in white and red lead up to the shrine. The ritual appears to be an aarti.2010-12-17December 17 20102010-12-17December 17 20102010-12-17December 17 20102010-12-17December 17 20102010-12-17December 17 20102010-12-17December 17 20102010-12-17December 17 20102010-12-17
