In the foreground, a woman in an orange sari holds a lit flame toward the deities while other devotees in orange clothes stand with palms pressed together. Brass oil lamps and a plate of offerings sit on the platform. No a person candidate is visibly present.

Inside a stone temple shrine, a deity murti seated on a throne is decorated with a gold arch, teal drape, garlands and a large necklace. Lit brass oil lamps stand on the altar. Two priests in saffron-orange dhotis face the shrine; the one at left presses his palms together, while the one at right, bare-backed with a bare head, has hands raised in worship. A standing attendant in orange touches the deity's altar area, and other murtis flank the shrine, with a plate of offerings on the stone platform.2016-01-24January 24 20162016-01-24January 24 20162016-01-24January 24 20162016-01-24January 24 20162016-01-24January 24 20162016-01-24January 24 20162016-01-24January 24 20162016-01-24October 31 20142014-10-31January 24 20162016-01-24June 25 20132013-06-25 +1 copiesA person in a rust-red sannyasi-style cloth with a red garland stands with back to the camera at the base of a stone shrine, facing a richly decorated deity group under a gilded arch with a turquoise backdrop. Central figures include a seated deity with garlands and a crown, flanked by standing statues wearing red and white garments and flower garlands. Brass oil lamps stand on the stone platform before the murtis, and a red velvet curtain hangs to the right. The scene is a temple darshan or puja setting with murti statues rather than living figures.2016-01-24
