A photograph of a ritual before a richly decorated shrine. A devotee with long dark hair, wearing an orange-brown sari and gold bangles, leans forward to offer or touch flower garlands and a small brass vessel to a central golden deity pair: a male figure in a red turban and a female figure with a golden crown, both draped in jasmine and marigold garlands. Behind them stands a trident-like trishul on the left. In front, a seated saffron-robed figure with a white face, rudraksha-style beads and a red-and-gold turban receives a garland and a pink rose. The shrine is framed by bands of yellow, red, purple and green flowers, with brass oil lamps and incense sticks in the foreground.2013-01-01February 19 20152015-02-19 +1 copiesMarch 02 20112011-03-02February 19 20152015-02-19 +1 copiesFebruary 19 20152015-02-19 +1 copiesJanuary 09 20152015-01-09February 19 20152015-02-19 +1 copiesFebruary 19 20152015-02-19 +1 copiesTemple puja scene in a shrine with a red-pillared open pavilion and greenery beyond the grille.
