Photograph of a temple corner at night with lit clay oil lamps on a woven tray in the foreground, their flames burning in yellow oil. A polished brass lion sculpture lies in the centre. Behind it, a white cloth sack holds marigold and flower garlands, and a bare tree branch rises beside a stone pillar. On the left edge, the lower legs of a person in white dhoti with gold border stand near a figure in orange cloth. Partly visible on the right are ornate carved wooden or metal frames with white flower garlands, and a potted plant. Red walls frame the scene and a small brass lamp stands on a ledge above.

Behind them, a gilded recumbent bull (Nandi) sits on a stone platform beside a potted plant. In the background, a bronze deity murti adorned with white flower garlands stands within an ornate arched frame, with a second garlanded stone or bronze figure in a similar arch to the right. A dark red wall and a wooden post frame the scene. No people are visible; only a partial orange-clad arm appears at the lower right edge.2017-12-02December 02 20172017-12-02December 12 20162016-12-12November 26 20112011-11-26November 26 20112011-11-26December 02 20172017-12-02A photograph inside a temple shrine. A bald, bare-chested man in white dhoti and shawl sits cross-legged on a wooden platform, holding a lit oil lamp toward a deity murti decorated with gold ornaments, red and orange garments, and garlands of marigold and mixed flowers. A large gold lion-shaped vahana stands in front of the murti. A brass plate with brass vessels, bowls, and offerings sits at the lower right, with a potted palm to the left and orange drapery and stone steps beyond. The scene reads as an aarti or puja performed by a priest. The man is shown from behind and is not an appearance-based candidate for the teacher, so no a person identification is made.2011-12-10 +1 copiesDecember 12 20162016-12-12May 24 20162016-05-24September 15 20152015-09-15 +1 copies
