A temple shrine with garlanded deity murtis framed by an arched stone niche. Several garlands of yellow marigolds, red and white flowers are draped over the statues. In the foreground, a blurred fire of a homa or yagna burns in front of a seated figure in a dark red garment with a rudraksha mala, seated on a gold-framed throne. A bare-torsoed priest in an orange headband tends the fire at left. Brass lamps stand beside the shrine.

A photograph of a homa fire burning in the foreground before a golden-framed seat with a red cushion, where a figure in white sits in ritual posture. To the left, a young priest with glasses and a bare upper body and pink cloth draped over his shoulder sits beside a brass bowl. Behind, a shrine is decorated with yellow, orange, purple and white flower garlands, with deity murti figures with crowns, and tall brass lamps. The scene suggests an abhishekam-related ritual with fire offering.2016-12-02February 19 20152015-02-19 +1 copiesFebruary 19 20152015-02-19 +1 copiesA photograph inside a temple sanctum showing a central deity murti of Shiva and Parvati, adorned with gold and silver jewellery, flower garlands in orange, red and white, and a gilded arch behind.
