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.2010-12-27March 22 20082008-03-22March 03 20112011-03-03 +1 copiesA photograph inside a temple shrine with a deity murti decorated with marigold and multicoloured flower garlands, set against a backdrop of red curtains.
