Two deity murtis are seated on a raised platform: the figure on the left wears a crown, a red garment and a white garland with a beaded necklace, and holds a ceremonial object, while the figure on the right wears a large crown, a jewelled necklace and a white dhoti-style garment. Between them is a golden kalasha-like vessel. Marigold and rose garlands drape the platform and a small golden murti sits at the base. A man in white dhoti with a yellow shawl sits cross-legged at the left, palms pressed together in prayer. Brass lamps stand on either side and offering plates rest on the floor.2010-07-13April 27 20132013-04-27August 08 20112011-08-08A photograph of a temple shrine with a golden arch framing two large deity murtis seated on a raised platform draped in yellow and blue fabric.

A shaved-headed man in white dhoti and shawl kneels at lower left with hands folded in namaskar, his forehead and arms marked with white paste.

The man is a priest or devotee; no identifiable a person is visible.2011-08-08April 27 20132013-04-27July 11 20142014-07-11April 18 20132013-04-18March 20 20132013-03-20A temple shrine photographed in daylight under a stone-pillared open pavilion with a golden arched frame.

In front, a seated white-clad figure wears an orange turban and is adorned with a garland, flanked by a small pink-robed figure. A man in an orange robe sits on the left in namaskar, palms pressed together.

In front stands a smaller deity murti in red and white garments with a rudraksha-style garland and a large shiva-linga-like form encircled by red and yellow flower garlands. A standing attendant in a pink silk sari-style garment with a red and gold border and a beaded necklace faces the shrine from behind, with brass oil lamps on both sides and a golden arched niche with another red-clad figure statue at right. This appears to be a puja at a temple shrine.2011-11-27September 28 20112011-09-28
