Photograph of a temple ritual in front of a gilded lattice screen. A bare-chested priest in the centre wears a red-orange turban and a long red-orange shawl with layered rudraksha and gold-bead malas; he raises a lit oil lamp on a long handle toward the sky. Beside him, a priest on the left with white-marked body and an orange shawl stands with hands folded, and another on the right wears a red turban and orange shawl with palms joined in prayer. A bundle of green leaves and a brass vessel appear at left, with red flowers at the bottom. Gold ornate architecture fills the background.2022-09-28MAy 17 20212021-05-17A bearded man with long matted hair wrapped up on his head stands in an orange saffron garment draped over his shoulder, holding a brass tray with a decorated kalasha topped with pink and red flowers and green leaves.

Garlands of yellow and white flowers hang around golden arches, and an ornate gold frame sits in front of the murti. A kalasha-like offering with flowers and leaves rests at the bottom.

He wears a rust-red garment, gold bangles and an armlet. Behind him to the left, two men with hands folded stand near a golden peacock-shaped stand, and to the right a gilded deity murti with red and gold adornments is visible. A cream-coloured window and a stone pillar frame the scene, and the ritual appears to be an aarti with a lamp.2016-07-19December 12 20162016-12-12A bearded man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and white forehead markings raises one hand while holding a lit oil lamp, the flame glowing beside his chest.
