November 23 20142014-11-23A photograph inside a richly painted temple hall with a red carpet. Two large painted deity statues with four arms flank a doorway, holding attributes such as a club and lotus. In the central golden throne-like seat sits a figure in a maroon robe with a maroon head covering, hands raised in a blessing gesture; the figure's appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity, so this is a seated devotee-style figure described by role. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides. In the foreground, a person in a white dhoti with a sash sits with their back to the camera, and on the right a woman in a maroon sari with folded hands and several seated devotees, including a child in pink, face the throne in worship during what appears to be a puja. Approximately 6-8 physical people are visible.2014-04-20July 23 20132013-07-23May 26 20172017-05-26September 02 20172017-09-02November 29 20132013-11-29 +2 copiesA photograph of a satsang stage with a golden Nandi bull and two golden deity thrones draped in garlands.
