A temple worship scene at a shrine. A man in a red shirt and white dhoti leans forward on the left, placing a garland of orange and white flowers onto a seated deity murti draped in red and gold cloth. The murti wears a golden crown and is decorated with floral garlands, and brass lamps and a golden kalasha-like vessel stand on the shrine ledge behind. On the right, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands watching. A yellow cloth lies beneath the murti, and the setting is a stone temple with ornate pillars.

The central murti is adorned with a gold crown, white flower garlands and a silver necklace, seated under a gold arch. Other gold-framed deity figures and a framed portrait hang above, with red and white flowers, brass lamps and a kalasha-like vessel in the foreground. Pillars wrapped in multicolored garlands frame the altar. The priest has a shaved head and no clearly distinctive a person cues such as long hair, crown or rudraksha mala, so identity is uncertain; only his role as a priest is described.2008-05-03June 05 20122012-06-05 +1 copiesA photograph of a temple procession at night. A priest in an orange-red dhoti stands on the left, raising a long ceremonial fan or umbrella-like object over a figure seated in an ornate palanquin-style conveyance. The seated figure wears an orange-gold garment, a gold crown or headdress, and is heavily garlanded with red and white flowers; the seated figure appears to be a deity murti or decorated image rather than a living person. Pink and magenta drapes frame the palanquin. A second orange-clad attendant stands behind at left, and the temple pillars and lit arches are visible in the background.2012-04-30A photograph inside a temple sanctum with ornate stone pillars and a gilded arch.
