A priest in a green garment with gold trim and a white flower garland performs aarti before a large deity murti draped in red fabric and heavily adorned with red and white flower garlands, green leaf garlands and gold jewelry. He holds a brass lamp with a flame toward the figure, while a gold ornate throne-like structure stands behind it. A plain temple interior with a red-painted wall forms the background. Only one physical person is visible, and no one resembling a person is present in the scene.

A priest in an orange-red dhoti stands on the left, raising a long ceremonial fan or umbrella-like object over a figure seated in an ornate palanquin-style conveyance. The seated figure wears an orange-gold garment, a gold crown or headdress, and is heavily garlanded with red and white flowers; the seated figure appears to be a deity murti or decorated image rather than a living person. Pink and magenta drapes frame the palanquin. A second orange-clad attendant stands behind at left, and the temple pillars and lit arches are visible in the background.2012-04-30April 30 20122012-04-30 +2 copiesJune 05 20122012-06-05 +1 copiesA temple ritual photograph in which a shirtless man with dark hair pulled back, wearing an orange-red dhoti, stands at left reaching up with both hands to a deity murti.
