A temple scene during a wedding-themed festival: two deity murtis, a male figure in gold and orange with a crown-like headdress and a female figure in red and gold jewelry, are seated under a gold arched frame and draped with yellow, white and purple flower garlands. A man in a long orange robe stands at the right, reaching toward the figures, while two other men in orange robes stand nearby, one holding a brass tray. A large painted face of a woman in gold jewelry is at the left, and blue and green peacock-feather decorations hang behind.

Two deity murtis, one in gold and red with a saffron turban and jewelled garlands, and a consort figure in red and white, sit on a raised platform draped with long multicoloured flower garlands in yellow, orange, purple and green. A woman in an orange sari-style garment stands at the right, holding a brass plate, and a man in orange robes with a short beard beside her holds an offering tray. A large framed portrait of a woman with a bindi and gold jewellery hangs on the left beside a brass oil lamp. The statues are not people; the visible physical people are the two in orange robes and the woman in orange, performing an aarti-style offering.2008-12-26December 26 20082008-12-26 +1 copiesDecember 26 20082008-12-26 +1 copiesDecember 26 20082008-12-26 +1 copiesDecember 26 20082008-12-26December 26 20082008-12-26 +1 copiesDecember 26 20082008-12-26 +1 copiesDecember 26 20082008-12-26 +1 copiesPhotograph of a temple shrine during a festival, with a golden arched canopy framing two large metal-finish deity murtis of a crowned male and female figure, both draped in garlands of yellow marigolds and purple flowers.
