A small shrine room with a framed portrait of a smiling woman in orange and a large garlanded picture of a white-robed figure with long hair, surrounded by red flower garlands and rose petals. A person in orange robes and rudraksha mala sits on a low platform holding a long silver staff with a ceremonial head, while a shaved-headed priest in orange dhoti with a saffron shawl and rudraksha beads performs a flame ritual over a brass vessel of flowers. A man in a white shirt with a red-bead necklace films with a camcorder, and a seated devotee in white with a flower garland receives the flame aarti.

A seated figure in a red-brown dhoti and shawl, wearing a heavy gold necklace and a long red and white flower garland, smiles and rests a hand on the gold armrest, with bangles on the wrist and a bindi on the forehead. Beside the seat, a priest in an orange-red turban, bare-chested with an orange-gold dhoti and rudraksha beads, holds a silver lamp with a burning flame toward a bowl set on the dais. Behind them stand a gold lion figure, a silver trident, an ornate gold-embroidered parasol, and a large backdrop of yellow and orange marigold garlands.2015-07-06June 23 20142014-06-23 +2 copiesNovember 17 20172017-11-17June 24 20142014-06-24 +1 copiesJune 23 20142014-06-23 +2 copiesAnnadhan in 20142014-01-01 +1 copiesJuly 19 20132013-07-19
