Devotees in white, pastel and colourful saris sit in rows while a figure in orange robes sits centrally before the shrine, surrounded by standing priests in white and offering vessels. Gold-painted deity murtis and carved arches frame the shrine. The central deity murti appears to be a decorated image with a crown, but its exact identity is not clear. A person in orange robes at the centre is seated and performing a ritual; whether this is a specific candidate is uncertain from appearance alone, so the role is given as a seated figure in orange clothing, with no identity claimed.2016-04-24January 29 20172017-01-29A temple ritual photograph at a shrine with a golden arched canopy holding a deity murti draped in white and red garlands, with a floral backdrop of red and green cloth.
