A photograph taken inside a temple shrine. A person with long dark hair, seen from behind, wears an orange-saffron shawl and a white flower garland over the shoulders, and stands with hands pressed together in prayer before a shrine. The shrine holds a gold-coloured deity murti seated on a pedestal, flanked by smaller gold figures, with a red, green and white garland draped around the niche and yellow flower garlands hanging on the right. Small brass lamps and offerings sit on the pedestal in front, and hanging brass bells and chains decorate the ceiling. Grey marble pillars with carved floral patterns frame the scene, and a gold-finished figure appears at the lower left.

The shrine holds a deity murti with gold ornaments and a crown in a red-and-magenta garment, flanked by brass oil lamps, a golden pot and a small red figure. Strings of marigolds and multicoloured flowers in yellow, purple and red hang along the shrine and pillars, with saffron-red drapes and a striped red-and-white wall behind.2010-10-16 +1 copiesA photograph of a temple shrine with a large stone platform in the foreground. A person in orange robes with long dark hair, shown from behind, stands facing a deity murti. The murti is adorned with thick garlands of orange, red, and purple flowers and sits under an ornate golden arch. Two orange-clad figures are seated or standing in front of the murti. A brass oil lamp, a metal kalasha-style pot and flower offerings sit on the platform. Behind the shrine, drummers in white dhotis play drums, and an orange flag hangs on a pole at left. Carved stone pillars frame the scene.2010-12-27A photograph of a shrine niche decorated with orange and yellow marigold garlands and framed by two tall cloth banners with blue, red and green geometric patterns and yellow flowers. Inside the niche a shiva linga stands on a golden yoni base, draped with red and orange flower garlands, beneath a hanging brass kalasha-like vessel and a small lamp. A single person with short dark hair, wearing an orange robe and draped orange shawl, stands with their back to the camera facing the shrine in worship. To the left, a gilded framed picture with marigold garlands is partially visible. This appears to be a puja at a shiva linga shrine.May 31 20182018-05-31March 03 20112011-03-03 +1 copiesA figure in saffron-orange robes stands barefoot on a doormat with hands folded in prayer before a stone shrine containing two deity murtis draped in garlands; the central deity wears a red crown and holds a trident-like weapon, and a golden kalasha-style lamp stand and brass oil lamps sit on the granite platform, with a red and white striped temple wall and a red curtain nearby.2010-10-29A person in orange saffron robes with long dark hair and a golden headband stands with palms pressed together in prayer before a shrine. The shrine holds richly decorated deity murtis draped with garlands of yellow, red, purple and white flowers, with orange and purple cloth backdrops, a brass oil lamp and a silver kalasha with flowers on the stone ledge. The figure's back is turned to the camera, and another person in white stands in the background behind a red railing among stone temple pillars. The person's identity is an appearance-based judgement from long swept hair, saffron clothing and a golden headband: a person is shown in prayer, but this is uncertain from the back view.2010-12-27A shaved-headed man in an orange-saffron robe stands at left with palms pressed together in namaskar before a shrine inside a stone temple pavilion. Yellow and white flower garlands hang on the shrine and on a deity murti, and brass oil lamps and offering vessels sit on the stone platform. Red and orange curtains frame the scene, and green trees show through an open railing behind him. The man is a devotee in ritual dress; his face is not clearly enough visible to support an identity claim.2009-12-02
