A photograph of a shrine room with a golden ornate throne on lion-shaped feet, draped in red velvet cushion and an orange cloth, empty of any occupant. Beside it, a seated man in a pale pink shirt and white dhoti sits cross-legged on a red rug with hands together, and a woman in a teal sari sits on a striped mat beside him, both facing a brass-and-garland-decorated deity murti on a platform. A brass oil lamp burns nearby, a plate of offerings with flower petals sits before them, and a large flower-garlanded picture hangs behind the throne. Consistent with a pad-puja setting, the throne is unoccupied, so no a person candidate is visible.

On a gilded throne with a golden umbrella, a figure in orange robes and an orange shawl sits with garlands, with a rudraksha mala visible; the cues are not sufficiently distinctive, so the identity is uncertain. Around the throne, about a dozen people in white dhotis and saris sit in rows on orange mats, several women with braided hair, some holding brass vessels and offerings. To the right stands a large ornate deity murti with a silver face and garlands of marigolds and multicolored flowers on a golden lion-faced palanquin-style seat. Brass ritual items and flower arrangements lie on the floor.2010-10-18 +1 copiesNovember 14 20102010-11-14September 12 20172017-09-12May 19 20122012-05-19A photograph of a seated ceremony in an indoor hall.
