A person with a short-cropped head in a maroon dhoti-style garment with gold border and a wide gold armlet stands at left, smiling and extending a hand toward a set of gleaming bronze-toned deity murtis. The central figure is a standing deity murti wearing a white cloth with blue border, a crown, beaded garlands and holding a trident-like staff; to its left a seated devotional figure in orange-brown robes with a rudraksha mala, and to its right a murti with a tall crown and a green-and-gold garland. A pink and yellow flower garland drapes over the standing person's shoulder. Behind them, a white-clad figure's arm is raised at right, and other people in the room are partly visible in a warm yellow-lit interior.

A person in a rust-red ochre dhoti and a bare upper body wears a long garland of white, pink and yellow flowers and gold armlets, bending forward with hands together over a metal platter or puja setup. Three bronze-coloured deity murtis stand on pedestals along a tiled wall: a central figure in white dhoti with a tall crown, holding a trident, drum and kalasha-like objects, and a figure on the right in orange and green sari with a crown and rudraksha-style beads. A smaller saint-like murti in ochre robes stands between them. Warm yellow walls and a red cushioned seat are visible in the background, with a few other people partly visible at the edges. This appears to be a puja or prana prathishta setting in an ashram room.2014-06-28 +1 copiesA woman in a maroon sari with a gold border and a garland of yellow and pink-white flowers stands at left, her arms extended as she adorns or performs puja to statues.
