A photograph of a temple worship scene. On the left, a bare-chested man with long, swept-back dreadlocked hair and a rust-red dhoti stands barefoot on a white floor with his hands folded, facing right. A small golden lion figure sits near him beside an ornate gilded seat. On the right, a deity murti in a green silk sari is decorated with white and multicoloured flower garlands, a jewelled necklace and a gold arched canopy, flanked by two smaller garlanded figures. A silver stand holds small lamps and offerings in front of the altar. Behind them a large screen shows a blue starfield with glowing pink and white lights, and a red curtain hangs at the top right.

A man with long dark dreadlocks wearing a rust-red wrap stands barefoot on the left, hands folded in namaskar, facing a garlanded silver throne. On the right, a murti of a deity dressed in pink and gold garments sits on a golden throne decorated with red, white and purple flower garlands, under an ornate umbrella. Two gold-coloured standing statues of attendant figures and brass lamps flank the central throne. The man's appearance has several cues associated with a person, but the figure is partly cropped and not clearly identifiable, so the appearance is uncertain.2018-04-25Photograph of a puja at a stage set with a starry night backdrop.
