Night-time temple ritual under a open-sided tin-roofed pavilion strung with multicoloured fairy lights. In the foreground a palanquin-style vehicle is decorated with white jasmine garlands and red and yellow flowers, draped in a pink cloth, with two carved stone-coloured guardian figures with folded hands at its base. Behind it a bare-chested man with a rudraksha mala and white shawl, wearing a pink turban, holds his hands together in devotion while other priests in white dhotis and saffron shawls stand nearby. A sacred fire burns in a pit to the right, surrounded by brass vessels and offerings on colourful striped mats, with a crowd seated in the background. A stand with a small light is at right.

A night ritual under a corrugated metal roof strung with multicoloured fairy lights. In the centre a man in a pink turban, white dhoti and gold necklace raises a brass kalasha in his right hand while pointing with the other, beside a floral-decorated altar holding a golden disc, red and yellow flower garlands, and a pink cloth. Two carved stone or wooden guardian figures with white beards sit at the front. Behind, a man bare-chested in an orange shawl and rudraksha mala assists, and fire and offerings burn on the floor among seated devotees. Presumably an abhishekam or puja scene; no a person candidate is clearly identifiable here.2017-05-02May 02 20172017-05-02May 02 20172017-05-02May 02 20172017-05-02May 02 20172017-05-02May 02 20172017-05-02May 02 20172017-05-02May 02 20172017-05-02May 02 20172017-05-02April 28 20172017-04-28March 16 20172017-03-16August 02 20172017-08-02
