A decorated deity procession image inside a temple corridor. In the centre, a golden metal murti of a seated deity with a crown and a red-brown cloth backdrop sits beside a standing murti in a golden crown, maroon garment and ornate blue-and-gold jewelry, its hand raised in blessing. Thick garlands of yellow, white, red and green flowers frame the figures, and a golden arch arches overhead. A living man stands at the left edge, back partly turned, with long dark hair, a red-brown cloth and a flower garland around his head, and a gold bracelet on his arm. Ornate gold ornaments and oil lamps are visible at the lower left. The statues are not people; the single physical person is the standing man at the left.

Multicoloured flower garlands in red, yellow, green and white hang over the figures and the front of the altar, and a kalasha-like offering vessel sits at the lower left. Two attendant statues flank the central pair: the one on the left wears a jewelled crown, a green garment and a broad jewelled necklace, while the one on the right wears a red-and-gold turban and a red-and-gold dhoti with a jewelled chest piece. Rose petals scatter the floor and oil lamps stand at the base. No living people are visible; the figures are statues.2020-01-01A photograph of a temple shrine decorated with dense garlands of yellow, orange, red and white flowers forming an arch. Golden metal deity murtis stand behind a central figure: one with a crown and ornate jewellery, another with a fanned headdress, and a figure on the left in a maroon dress with pearl-like embellishments. In front, a bearded man in a maroon-brown robe and matching turban smiles and raises one hand in greeting, wearing a gold necklace, a rudraksha mala with a pendant and a floral garland with pink and white blooms. Flower garlands drape the shrine base and brass lamps sit at the front. The scene looks like a Hindu temple festival or darshan.2016-12-14A photograph inside a temple shrine during a Shiva worship ceremony.
