Photograph inside a temple shrine with marble walls. A shaved-headed priest in an orange-red dhoti with gold border, bare-chested and wearing a rudraksha headband, reaches toward a gilded arched niche holding a black stone deity murti garlanded with white jasmine and pink flowers, with a brass lamp beside it. A second man with a rudraksha mala on his arm and a rudraksha necklace stands at left in a matching orange-red dhoti with gold border, looking on. A third person in white dhoti stands at right. A stainless steel vessel and small brass cups sit on a carved stone stand with scattered pink petals on the floor.

Two priests in rust-orange dhotis with gold borders stand before a gold-framed arched niche. The taller standing man on the left wears rudraksha malas on his head and arms and a gold necklace, and holds his hands together. The bald priest beside him, bare-chested with a rudraksha band on his head, leans in and sprinkles pink flower petals from a silver tray onto a black stone deity murti draped in white garlands, with a yellow cloth behind it. Pink petals lie on the altar ledge, and a brass oil lamp and a steel pot of petals sit on a brass table in front.2012-05-13 +1 copiesMay 13 20122012-05-13 +1 copiesMay 13 20122012-05-13 +1 copiesA photograph inside a stone-walled shrine.
