A photograph of a stage set for a temple-style ritual, with several garlanded deity murti and figures on raised seats and thrones. Marigold and rose garlands drape the central figures, and brass lamps, flower offerings and fruit sit on a rug at the front. A priest in white dhoti and a red-and-yellow headcloth stands at the right, offering to the central murti, while a younger attendant in white stands nearby. At the far right, two people in orange and saffron sit on the floor beside an ornate golden canopy. A carved pillar with coloured bands frames the stage, and bright ceiling lights hang above.

A photograph of a temple-style stage set with several ornate, gold-framed thrones and deity murtis garlanded with yellow and orange marigold flowers and bright tulsi-like garlands. Sculpted murtis sit on the left and right thrones, and a bronze deity murti is seated on a golden lion-mounted throne at far left. Several people in traditional ritual attire sit in front of the thrones on a colourful striped mat: a bare-chested man in an orange cloth with a red headcloth, a man in white dhoti and orange shawl seated near an offering tray, and a man in a red-and-white dhoti standing with hands folded. Brass lamps, plates of fruit and flowers, and a bronze puja vessel are arranged on the stage. A central seated figure in white robes with a white beard is shown on the middle throne, but appearance cues are insufficient to confirm identity. The scene resembles a puja or archana setting in a hall.2016-02-02A photograph of a temple stage set with multiple decorated deity murtis and thrones draped in marigold garlands and flower strings. A priest in white dhoti and a pink-and-green cloth stands at the right side of the central raised platform, holding a ritual object over a stone or metal platter of offerings, with brass lamps and fruit. Standing and seated attendants in white and orange clothing are present, with a seated devotee in orange robes at the lower right. A seated figure in gold and red at the left stage edge appears to be a statue or doll placed on a throne. The scene suggests a puja or aarti in progress. Visible people are a priest, one or two attendants, and a few seated devotees.2016-02-02February 02 20162016-02-02February 02 20162016-02-02February 02 20162016-02-02February 02 20162016-02-02February 02 20162016-02-02February 02 20162016-02-02May 07 20172017-05-07February 02 20162016-02-02May 07 20172017-05-07May 07 20172017-05-07 +1 copies
