Indoor temple-hall scene with a crowd of devotees. A seated figure on a silver throne-like chair wears a rust-red turban, saffron-orange robes and a red and yellow flower garland, hands joined in greeting. Behind a small ornate shrine with multicoloured tiered roof, a saffron-clad attendant stands with rudraksha beads. Men in white shirts and dhotis and women in saris, some with red and yellow ribbons, press forward, while a bald priest in orange shawl sits in front. Yellow walls, ventilation grilles and a hanging lantern frame the scene.

Indoor temple-hall gathering with a small shrine behind, its tiered multicoloured gopuram-style top painted red, yellow and green. A seated figure on the left wears a rust-orange head wrap and orange robe with a long red-and-yellow marigold garland, hands joined in greeting. Behind them, a shaved-headed man in orange dhoti and rudraksha mala stands near the shrine steps. Several women in maroon and red saris, one holding a brass plate, and crowded devotees in white shirts and dhotis fill the room. A white air cooler and wall vents are visible. The appearance of the seated figure is only a loose match and does not establish identity.2014-06-19June 29 20142014-06-29 +1 copiesIndoor ritual scene in a yellow-walled hall with a small multi-coloured shrine tower behind.
