A photograph of a shrine niche framed by white pillars and marble walls. Inside the niche stands a figure wearing an orange-red dhoti and a rudraksha mala, holding a silver tray or plate in front of him; the figure appears to be a statue or deity murti rather than a living person. Behind it an arched lit border glows warmly with a small altar and lamps. Brass oil lamps stand on the marble platform at the left and right edges, with a folded cloth at the far left.

A photograph of an ornate shrine niche framed by white and gold pillars with marble-patterned walls. Inside stands a large brown statue of a bare-chested sage in a red-orange dhoti with gold trim, holding a tray or plate at his waist. Brass oil lamps flank the shrine steps, and a glowing arched halo sits behind the figure, with small offerings on a ledge. The figure is a statue, not a physical person, and no people are visible in the scene.2012-05-10May 13 20122012-05-13A photograph of a temple shrine interior with a large marble-faced niche.

He stands in a gold-framed niche with warm orange lighting behind an arched doorway. Beside him to the left, a second figure in a dark red robe stands partly in shadow. Brass lamps stand at the sides of the niche, and gold-toned marble lines the base. Appearance-based cues: the standing figure has a rudraksha mala and ceremonial dress, but the image is too small and dim for a firm identification, so this is marked unsure.2012-05-13May 09 20122012-05-09 +1 copiesMay 12 20122012-05-12 +1 copiesMay 13 20122012-05-13May 14 20122012-05-14 +1 copiesMay 09 20122012-05-09
