A dimly lit temple shrine niche framed by blue-painted walls with ornate pillars. At center, a framed portrait of a smiling bearded man wearing a light turban sits atop an ornate silver-and-gold shrine throne, surrounded by small lights. In front, a tiered brass oil lamp with many lit wicks stands at left, and a person in white clothing is seen kneeling or bowing at the shrine base. On the right, a four-armed deity murti in red and gold stands beside a tall brass lamp stand. The portrait is printed and not a physical person, so the only physical figures are a foreground silhouette and the kneeling person in white.2013-09-26September 27 20132013-09-27A temple aarti scene in a dimly lit shrine with blue and red walls and two standing female dvarapala-style statues with raised hands flanking the entrance.
