Outdoor courtyard shrine at dusk beside a red-washed building. A black stone deity murti with a white dhoti and a garland of yellow and orange marigolds stands on a pedestal at right. Three men with long matted hair stand before it: the one at left in a rust-brown wrap with a multicolour red, white and yellow garland, facing the shrine with hands folded; two in saffron-orange dhotis with gold borders, one holding a lit oil lamp aloft and the other with palms joined in prayer. A small brass-coloured box and a red prayer mat lie on the floor, with palm and leafy plants around the edge. A plaque hangs on the wall behind. This appears to be an aarti with lamp worship at a shrine.

Two figures face a large black statue of a deity with a crown, rudraksha-style ornament, and a trident leaning beside it. The statue wears an orange cloth and a garland, and a dark circular backdrop frames it. In the centre, a person in an orange sari and blouse holds a lit flame aloft in one hand, while the other hand rests near a tray. On the left, a figure with long dark hair and a red beaded garland, wearing a rust-coloured wrap, stands with hands folded in front of the body. A small rug lies on the ground and a lit window glows behind them.2016-02-17February 17 20162016-02-17February 17 20162016-02-17March 19 20172017-03-19February 21 20162016-02-21March 19 20172017-03-19March 19 20172017-03-19
