Inside a temple shrine with a red carpet and blue-grey walls decorated in orange and green, a framed portrait of a smiling man in an orange turban and orange robe sits on a gold throne within a central doorway. Two painted deity figures in gold crowns and gold necklaces flank the doorway, each holding a fan. Brass oil lamps line the walls. At left, a hand holds a tiered silver aarti lamp with lit flames. Several people in orange and maroon robes sit in the shrine before the throne, performing puja. The scene appears to be a ritual aarti offering.2013-11-26November 28 20132013-11-28 +10 copiesA temple-shrine photograph seen from behind a shaved-headed priest in orange robes with a rudraksha mala, holding a tiered brass aarti lamp lit with flames. Inside a shrine doorway, a framed portrait of a smiling man in an orange turban and saffron wrap sits above a gold throne draped with a tiger-skin cloth, with lit oil lamps before it.
