ADIKAILASA on 3/16/20212021-03-16Photo of a golden shrine inside a temple with a gold lattice wall of cut-out quatrefoil patterns. A deity murti draped in white cloth with an ornate beaded collar sits on a tiered gold pedestal, decorated with marigolds and red petals, and kalasha-like ornaments on top. A shirtless man with long hair in a topknot and an orange cloth, seen from behind, sits at the left with a laptop, facing the shrine. A brass bell, a lit oil lamp on a small plate, and a brass oil lamp stand are in front of the pedestal, with a fire pit below. This appears to be a puja or homa setting.2021-03-16November 22 20152015-11-22 +1 copiesA decorated ritual arrangement on a green and red silk-draped altar.
