A temple ritual scene in a covered stone-pillared hall. A man with long dark hair, wearing a red dhoti and a gold-beaded garland, holds a lit flame on a brass plate and performs aarti before a decorated deity murti of a seated female form in a red sari with gold ornaments. A second man in an orange garment with a garland stands beside him, and a man in white dhoti stands at the left holding a brass vessel. Large garlands of yellow, red and multicoloured flowers drape the murti and a cobra-hooded figure, a small figure in red sits at the lower left, and a brass oil lamp stands in the foreground. Red curtains and a drum player appear in the background.2010-12-22November 06 20112011-11-06November 06 20112011-11-06Inside a temple hall with a red curtain and a tiled roof, a man with long swept-back dark hair wears a red dhoti and a red shawl with a gold-and-beaded garland and a rudraksha-style mala. Holding a lit oil lamp in his right hand, he moves toward a large red-clad deity murti seated on a throne, its face and arms gold-toned and adorned with jewellery. The murti is surrounded by garlands of yellow, purple and white flowers and a yellow and red silk drape. In front, a table covered with a white cloth holds a yellow-and-purple flower garland and a small brass vessel. Two other men in white and orange dhotis stand behind, one holding a pot, and a small white figure with red headwear and garlands sits in the foreground. Swamiji (probable): the man with long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and a red shawl is performing the aarti with the lamp.2010-12-22December 27 20092009-12-27A seated person with pressed palms and a multicolour flower garland, wearing a maroon garment and flowers in the hair, sits on a golden throne before a richly decorated deity murti adorned with yellow and purple flower garlands and a gold necklace.
