A shaved-headed priest in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala stands at the left, facing a golden throne (peetha) set within an arched shrine decorated with yellow floral plasterwork and hanging garlands of pink, orange and green tassels. A framed portrait of a smiling figure wearing an orange turban sits on the gold throne, which has ornate gilded carving. A tiered silver oil lamp (aarti lamp) stands in the foreground, and a small golden deity murti stands at the right beside dark red drapes. This appears to be a puja performed before a portrait on the throne.2013-10-15A shaved-headed priest in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala stands at left, holding a tiered silver aarti lamp with lit oil lamps toward a shrine.

A seated priest in an orange-red dhoti and shawl, with a shaved head, kneels on the white floor beside a brass tray and ritual vessels, assisted by another man in white. On the right, a decorated deity murti in pink and red garlands sits on a platform above a patterned rug. The scene appears to be a puja setup.2013-10-13October 13 20132013-10-13July 07 20142014-07-07 +1 copiesNovember 22 20132013-11-22October 24 20132013-10-24 +1 copiesOctober 11 20132013-10-11
