Two men in orange saffron dhotis with gold-bordered edges stand before a shrine of a deity murti, decorated with pink flower garlands and silver vessels. The man on the left wears a gold bead necklace and a rudraksha-style headband, holding his hands together and looking down. The central figure is bare-chested with white sacred markings on his back and shoulders, a rudraksha mala and gold ornaments, reaching toward the shrine with gold bangles while offering flowers and leaves. A brass bell sits on a stone ledge at left, and a lit orange arch glows behind the shrine. Appears to be a temple puja with flower offerings.

The man on the right, seen from behind with bare shoulders and a saffron dhoti with gold borders, bends toward a gilded altar holding pink flowers, silver bowls and a gold ornamental piece. The man on the left wears an orange wrap with gold bands, a gold necklace, a rudraksha-bead armlet and a beaded headband, and stands with hands clasped, watching. A white cloth lies on the stone counter, and a patterned mat covers the floor. The scene reads as a temple puja.2012-05-13 +2 copiesPhotograph inside a shrine room with warm yellow stone walls and an orange-lit arched niche. A bare-backed shaved-headed priest in a red-orange dhoti with gold border stands facing a gilded shrine containing a small deity murti, with silver bowls and a folded white cloth on a stone ledge. Beside him stands a second man in an orange shawl with gold border, a large gold-bead garland around his neck and a rudraksha bracelet on his arm, with a rudraksha band on his head, watching quietly with hands clasped. The scene suggests a puja or temple worship setting. The bare-backed priest's appearance does not show distinctive a person cues, so his identity is uncertain.2012-05-13 +1 copiesMay 14 20122012-05-14 +2 copiesMay 14 20122012-05-14 +2 copiesJune 04 20122012-06-04May 13 20122012-05-13 +1 copiesMay 11 20122012-05-11
