A priest in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl stands at right with a bare chest marked by white ash stripes, holding a golden bell in his left hand and raising a lit multi-wick oil lamp in his right during an aarti at a shrine. He has long hair tied back and a dark rudraksha mala. Before him is an ornate gold-covered shrine with golden arches, a gold peetha and deity murti in white and red garments, with a gold lion figure. A striped rug covers the floor and a brass vessel and small brass lamps sit nearby. The visible person is one priest, and the scene is a worship ritual, not a staged event.

A bare-backed man in an orange-saffron cloth draped over his shoulder stands at left, raising one arm to a tall golden multi-branched oil lamp stand (deepa stand) with lit lamps. Before him is a golden ornate throne-like altar with a green cloth and red-gold borders, holding several metal deity murtis: a central figure with crown and multiple arms, a seated female figure in red and pink, and a standing figure in purple, flanked by two carved golden lions. Brass plates on the striped floor hold offerings, a small oil lamp burns on a brass stand, and a bowl and betel-like items are visible. A blue-skinned deity figure with crown and jewelled necklace stands in the background beside a red curtain. Warm lighting and a timestamp in the corner.2022-07-11 +1 copiesPhoto 82911772022-07-27 +1 copies
