May 30 20182018-05-30A long-haired man with long dreadlocks seen from behind stands in an orange-brown cloth before an ornately decorated deity murti at a temple, with a shaved-headed figure elsewhere? No. Center: a standing bare-shouldered man in saffron-orange dhoti and a rudraksha mala faces a deity murti framed by a gold arch and dense garlands of red, yellow, green and white flowers. Brass lamps and a silver bowl stand on the floor in front of the murti. To the left, a white-clad statue wearing a yellow-and-white garland stands on a black pedestal, and a red-and-white striped mat covers the floor. The scene suggests a puja or darshan.2018-05-30A photo of a temple shrine with a standing figure seen from behind, long black hair falling down the back, wearing a brown draped garment, barefoot on a striped red-and-orange mat. The figure faces a deity murti decorated with green, red, yellow and white garlands and a jewelled crown, set in a gilded arch with a golden backdrop. Beside it stands a brass oil lamp with a lit flame, a brass vessel and a flower garland on a tray. Petals scatter the floor and a painted cloth hangs on a pillar. The scene reads as a puja or padapuja at a temple, with the figure in worship. The page-level identity of the person is not established by appearance.2018-05-30A photograph inside a temple shrine where a figure in a maroon-red sleeveless top and a gold-bordered maroon dhoti stands at left, holding a flame toward a tall silver and gold lamp stand with multiple lit wicks. Behind it, a large deity murti decorated with a silver and gold ornament-laden frame, flanked by colourful garlands of yellow, red, pink and white flowers draped on tall standing figures. A small figure wearing a maroon turban and a crescent-marked headdress stands at left, and another standing figure in a dark robe and turban is at right. Brass lamps and an offering plate sit at the base, with a floral garland and a golden seat on the right. This appears to be an aarti offering with oil lamps before the deity murti.2014-12-05May 30 20182018-05-30December 19 20162016-12-19A woman with long dark braided hair and a red-orange garment with gold border stands at left, raising her arm to place a yellow and white marigold garland over a large ornate deity murti.

A gilded golden throne or altar stands at right beside a golden pedestal.2016-01-03 +1 copiesJanuary 03 20162016-01-03January 09 20182018-01-09 +1 copiesA photograph of a man with long dreadlocked hair and a bare upper body, wearing a rust-orange dhoti and a rudraksha mala, bowing with his palms pressed together in front of a decorated deity murti.
