A devotee with long dark hair, wearing a red dhoti and red upper wrap, stands barefoot on a leopard-print mat in front of a stone shrine with carved pillars, facing a deity murti dressed in red and orange silks with garlands, behind a brass oil lamp stand. A brass tray of petals and flower arrangements sits on the floor nearby, and banana leaves and mango leaf strings decorate the shrine's top. Only the back of the standing devotee is visible, so no identity can be determined from the figure.2012-04-23A photograph of a temple shrine interior with carved grey stone pillars and a wooden ceiling.
