A photograph of a temple shrine at night, lit warmly in gold. A bare-chested man in a red-orange dhoti with a red flower garland stands on the left, hands raised above his head in worship. On the right, a person in a yellow-green robe stands barefoot facing the shrine. Ornate golden deity murtis are decorated with garlands, flanked by tall brass lamps. In the foreground stands a large brass tray of flower petals, and a gold-trimmed red and green cloth and offerings sit on a side table with a banana leaf.

Warm-lit temple shrine at night. A figure in an orange-red sleeveless garment with red-and-white flower garland and beaded necklace raises both arms above the head, hands joined, before a stone shrine with carved panels and golden deity figures. A second person in a yellow garment bows low at the right edge. A golden plate of rose petals and flowers sits on a mat in the foreground, and tall brass oil lamps stand near the shrine. A green leaf-like canopy hangs at left beside a table with brass vessels and offerings. A printed poster with red border hangs on the left wall.2012-04-24Inside a gilded temple hall, a golden pyramidal peetha or altar base dominates the centre, draped with white and red flower garlands and yellow marigold strings, with red and white petals scattered on its tiers and a golden kalasha-like finial on top. Two priests sit on a mat in the foreground performing puja: the seated priest on the left wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with his back to the camera, and a younger priest on the right, bare-chested with a sacred thread, tends brass vessels, a plate of flowers and a lit oil lamp. Brass oil lamps, bowls, plates of pink flowers and fruit surround them, and a golden deity murti stands at the right edge of the room.2022-01-21April 30 20122012-04-30Photo 11725439 +4 copiesMarch 24 20082008-03-24November 06 20112011-11-06 +1 copiesMay 11 20122012-05-11Photo 11733112 +1 copiesMay 13 20122012-05-13May 10 20122012-05-10Photo 11725499 +2 copiesKAILASA SAN JOSE, USA on 7/4/20202020-07-04
