A photograph inside a temple shrine showing a deity murti heavily decorated with garlands of yellow and white flowers, pink blooms, and multicoloured strands, with a golden arched backdrop and a hanging lamp above. A man in a rust-coloured dhoti stands at the shrine doorway with a white tilak on his forehead, one hand resting on a green leaf garland. In the foreground, people with folded hands and bangles, one in orange and red garments, face the shrine in devotion, while a partly visible figure in yellow stands at the right edge. The setting suggests a puja or darshan at the sanctum.

A smiling man with a white vibhuti horizontal line on his forehead and a short beard stands at left, wearing a reddish-maroon dhoti and a long rudraksha mala across his chest, with a garland of green leaves and yellow and white flowers around his neck. He holds his hands together at his waist. Beside him a deity murti. A brass oil lamp hangs from above and a brass lamp stands at right, with a yellow and red cloth draped at the base and loose flowers on the floor. The figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so only his role as a devotee standing beside the shrine is described.2017-02-07Inside a shrine doorway, a bearded man in a maroon-red robe and rudraksha mala smiles, with a white tripundra on his forehead, arms folded and draped in layered garlands of green leaves, white, pink and yellow flowers. Beside him a large ornate gold-framed deity murti is decorated with pink, red, white and yellow flower garlands, and a brass lamp stands at the top of the frame. On the left, a woman in an orange-and-gold sari with folded hands is in prayer, and a golden decorated figure with flowers sits at the lower left. Warm, bright light fills the scene. The man's presentation (rudraksha mala, tripundra, maroon robe, garlanded and honoured in a shrine) is consistent with the page's reference to a person, but the appearance cues are not distinctive enough to confirm his identity.2017-02-07February 07 20172017-02-07February 07 20172017-02-07February 07 20172017-02-07March 13 20202020-03-13 +6 copiesA photograph inside a narrow stone temple passage with dark granite walls, where a bearded man in maroon robes with a rudraksha mala and a white forehead mark stands beside a bare-chested man in a white dhoti with sacred thread and tripundra marks.
