A devotee in saffron-orange cloth with bare back and upper body, long dark hair tied up, rudraksha and metal bangles, stands at right holding a lit silver aarti lamp in one raised hand and a small brass bell in the other, performing puja before a seated figure. The seated figure is a statue or life-size murti in orange robes and rudraksha mala, with a white forehead mark, draped in a red cloth, seated on a leopard-print cushion and golden lotus base. Behind it are garlands of orange, white and purple flowers, a red and gold brocade backdrop, and green leaves. The statue is not a living person, so the a person candidate appears only as a depiction. The devotee is shown from behind, so no face is visible.2018-05-27Photo 11694042 +1 copiesMay 27 20182018-05-27A ceremonial darshan scene in a hall with a seated deity murti decorated with red and white flower garlands, sitting before a gold-patterned backdrop above a green-draped platform holding brass bowls and offerings.
