Night scene at an outdoor temple-style pavilion with carved wooden pillars and a lit doorway. On the right, a seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne wears a tall crown, a red and yellow garland and a yellow-and-red cloth. Before the throne, a man in a saffron cloth and rudraksha mala kneels on the ground, bending forward with an offering of flowers on a tray. Nearby, a man in an orange robe with a garland stands with hands folded in prayer, and a large number of people in white dhotis and orange cloths stand behind the carved screen, several with hands joined. Strings of lights and a palm tree appear in the background.

A man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne, wearing a dark maroon-rust wrap, gold armbands, a gold floral garland and a gold headband, extends his right hand to touch the bowed head of a bare-chested devotee in white dhoti with gold border. Behind them stand several men: one bare-chested in white dhoti holding a phone, one in orange cloth with a rudraksha mala, one with long hair and vibhuti marks, and others in white and orange. A kalasha-type offering and a tray of fruit sit at the throne's base, and a yellow-curtained backdrop with a deity murti is visible at upper left. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and ceremonial gold ornaments, matching a person appearance.2017-08-21March 06 20162016-03-06 +2 copiesApril 27 20122012-04-27January 01 20072007-01-01Photo 11714986Photo 11712223
