Altar building is a craft the SHARANYA community has perfected over the years. For our festivals, we each contribute a personal murti or offering from our home altars to add to the collective energy of our presentation in reverence to Maa. We ground this in our temple’s center image, which has been the focus of our devotions for many moons. Here, one of our initiates offers her Kali Maa to our honorings of Goddess.
