December 17 20112011-12-17A temple ritual scene with a man in saffron-orange robes wearing a long white and red flower garland and a gold-beaded necklace, a red bindi and white tilak on his forehead, and bangles on his wrists; he holds white petals in one hand while another man in orange dhoti and shawl with white tilak carries a gold tray. Behind them stand a large deity murti and a tall multicoloured flower garland of red, yellow, green and purple blooms, with a gold hand-gesture sculpture above. Carved stone pillars frame the temple hall. Candidate appearance is a long-haired figure with several cues but this is uncertain, so the central man is described by role as a devotee performing an offering.2011-12-11January 08 20122012-01-08January 08 20122012-01-08Photo of a ritual scene at a temple-like hall.

Beside him, a shaved-headed priest in orange cloth with a gold necklace and tilak stands at the left edge. Behind them is a golden ornate throne-like backdrop, and to the right are deity murtis decorated with garlands of red roses, yellow and white flowers, and silver jewellery. A potted plant and orange wall fill the background.2011-11-29 +1 copiesPhotograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne decorated with white jasmine garlands and red and yellow marigold strands.
