A woman in a leopard-print blouse and orange sari stands at night before a dark stone murti framed by a circular halo. The sculpted figure wears a white cloth, a red shawl, rudraksha-style beads and a gold waist band, and a trident is set beside it. She leans forward with one hand on the base as red and yellow marigold garlands drape the image and pedestal, with red petals scattered on the plinth. The setting is an outdoor courtyard beside a lit building and iron gate.

March 02 20132013-03-02Photograph at dusk of a woman in a leopard-print blouse with an orange cloth draped over her shoulder, hands pressed together in prayer before a large black stone deity murti set within a circular halo carved with flames. The murti wears a white and red garment with a gold border, a multi-strand bead necklace, and red and yellow flower garlands, and holds a trident. A man stands at the left edge, partly visible, with a metal plate of red flowers in front of him. Red petals lie on the ground around the base. Behind them is an orange-walled building with a window and a ceiling fan.2013-03-02 +1 copiesNight-time outdoor scene at a shrine. A standing person on the left, wearing an orange saffron-toned wrap over a leopard-print patterned top, a long dark braid, red-and-yellow flower garlands and white forehead markings, holds an offering and looks up at a large dark stone deity murti with a trident and a circular halo-like backdrop. The murti wears a white and red-bordered garment, rudraksha malas and red-yellow garlands. A small oil lamp burns on the base and red petals are scattered; a curved metal implement with yellow fruit sits in the foreground. The person is clearly a devotee or sannyasi; no appearance-based a person cues are clear enough to identify anyone.2013-03-02 +1 copiesMarch 02 20132013-03-02March 02 20132013-03-02 +1 copiesMarch 02 20132013-03-02 +1 copiesMarch 02 20132013-03-02 +1 copiesA devotee with long dark hair and white forehead markings stands barefoot at left, palms pressed together in namaste, wearing an orange dhoti and a leopard-print shawl with a red-and-pink flower garland.
