October 12 20132013-10-12A dark stone lingam sits beneath a five-hooded cobra hood carved in relief, set within a shrine niche. Red rose garlands and yellow marigold garlands drape around its base and sides, with a sprig of green leaves tucked along the top. A single oil lamp flame burns in the central basin of the lingam, and the stone is wet and glossy. No people are visible in the frame.2013-06-19June 20 20132013-06-20 +2 copiesA close view of a black stone shivalinga-style ritual object, more precisely a black stone yoni-pitha base with a curved spout, garlanded with yellow marigolds, red roses and white flowers draped over its top. The garland sweeps down the front and around the base. Beside it stands a grey stone pedestal or plinth, and the ground is a red-brown paved walkway with grass growing between the stones. No people are visible; the scene is a quiet outdoor shrine detail.2016-12-05Close-up photograph of a black stone Shiva lingam with a carved five-hooded naga hood canopy, marked with yellow and red tilak paste and topped with red flowers. A small flame burns in the circular basin of the lingam. Red-painted rocks surround the base, with yellow marigold petals scattered on the ground and a dark carved deity murti visible in the background, with trees and a pink cloth behind. No people are visible, so this is a shrine scene rather than a satsang.2014-11-18Close-up photograph of a dark black stone statue's raised hand, fingers curled in a mudra, wearing a strand of brown rudraksha beads interspersed with small gold spacer beads. Behind it is green fabric printed with gold lotus flowers and dots, and to the right white roses and a red cloth. No people are visible; the statue is a deity murti in a temple or ashram setting.2013-09-28Close-up photo of a black stone shivalinga resting on a coiled serpent base, with a hooded naga canopy rising behind it. Red and yellow flower petals and blossoms are placed on the hood and scattered on the red-painted floor. Behind the lingam, a dark deity murti partly visible under a magenta cloth. The scene is a temple shrine setting with no people visible.2014-08-16 +1 copiesJune 19 20132013-06-19 +1 copiesJune 20 20132013-06-20 +1 copiesAugust 16 20142014-08-16A close view of a black stone Shivalinga dressed for worship, set on a golden yoni-peetha base. A golden five-hooded serpent canopy with green gemstone-tipped hood ornaments arches over it, with pink and yellow flower garlands draped down both sides. A brown rudraksha-style mala and a green-and-gold cloth are wrapped around the lingam, and a gold band marks its upper part. Behind it, a figure in a green garment and red skirt, with gold arm bands, sits on a red cloth; a carved gold panel stands at the right. No people are visible in the frame; the deity murti is the main subject.2014-08-15November 16 20152015-11-16
