A blurred foreground figure with long dark hair in the right foreground looks toward a shrine. Behind, two golden deity murtis stand on a white-draped pedestal, each garlanded with white and red-trimmed flower garlands. The left murti wears a purple and orange skirt, a layered gold necklace and a mukut-like crown, holding ritual objects. The right murti wears an orange garment and tall crown. A seated white-clothed figure sits centrally, marked by a gold chain and a garland. Red drapery forms the backdrop beneath a stone colonnaded canopy.

A photograph of a shrine area with a large statue of a seated figure in white robes, adorned with white and orange garlands and a gold necklace, seated on a white throne in front of a red curtain. Behind it stand two painted deity murti figures, one in purple and blue clothing and one in orange, with ornate jewelry and raised arms. In the foreground at right, a person with long dark hair, a red bindi and an orange-saffron garment stands out of focus. Brass oil lamps, a kalasha-style vessel and offerings sit on the stone platform in front. The person in the foreground is blurred, so the photo does not establish a clear identity; the seated white figure is a statue or murti.2007-12-07December 07 20072007-12-07A photograph of a man in a sleeveless orange-saffron top with long dark hair standing at right in a stone-pillared temple shrine, looking toward the side.
