A shaven-headed man in saffron-orange robes stands barefoot on a striped woven mat, hands pressed together in namaskar before a shrine. Behind him stands a carved stone shrine holding a large deity murti with a tall orange turban, a white-faced form with garlands, and a consort in orange and green garments; both are draped in marigold and pink flower garlands. A white cloth-covered altar holds a brass kalasha, oil lamps, a small lingam-shaped stone and lotus flowers, with a small figure of a deity on a side pedestal. A purple embroidered backdrop frames the shrine. A partial head of another person appears at the lower right corner.2007-10-15A man in a saffron-orange robe stands barefoot on a woven striped mat in front of a stone shrine with pillars carved in relief. He has his palms pressed together in anjali mudra and head slightly bowed, with a white tilak on his forehead and a beaded necklace. Behind him on a raised altar stand two large painted deity murtis: a figure in green and red with a crown and garland holding objects in raised hands, and a female figure in red and orange with a garland. Between them sits a white shivalinga with a garland, flanked by brass kalashas, oil lamps, flowers and a small seated figure on the right. A purple sequined backdrop frames the altar. The text overlay reads a copyright line and source credit.2007-10-17A photograph of a devotee in an orange saffron robe standing with his back to the camera at a stone shrine, holding a small lit lamp or incense vessel toward the altar. The altar holds two large painted deity murti figures seated against red draped cloth, one with a crown and turban and one with a dark blue skirt and green lower garment, surrounding a white-draped linga-like form garlanded with yellow and red flowers. Brass lamps and a small gold kalasha-shaped object sit on the altar platform, with carved granite pillars and foliage behind. One physical person is visible. The devotee's face is not shown, so no appearance-based identification is made.2007-10-12Night photo at a stone shrine with carved pillars and a blue-purple draped backdrop. Two deity murtis stand on a raised platform, one with a green-and-red crown and necklaces, the other in a red sari with garlands, with a white-draped object in front and a kalasha and lamps on the altar.
