A photograph of a temple shrine with a golden-framed arch behind a seated pair of deity murtis draped in orange and red cloth with garlands of marigolds and green leaves. The figures on the throne wear crowns and jewelled necklaces. In the foreground, a man in white dhoti and shawl holds a silver tray. Beside the deities stands a figure in orange robe and rudraksha mala with long hair and forehead marks, holding a garland; he is a sannyasi-style devotee and his appearance is not clearly identifiable, so no identification is made. The shrine is roofed with stone and red curtains hang at the side.2010-12-28November 24 20172017-11-24November 05 20132013-11-05A photograph inside a temple shrine where a priest in an orange-red dhoti and matching upper cloth, with a yellow sash and gold armband, stands at left holding flowers and a garland. Behind him, a seated deity murti with a golden crown and ornate gold jewellery sits on a throne covered in layered garlands of red, yellow, purple and white flowers. Another figure stands beside it in a red-brown garment with a garland. Offerings and a gold kalasha-like vessel are in front. Setting appears to be a puja or abhishekam in a temple hall with large windows.2015-01-04A man with long dark hair and a bare upper body, wearing a saffron-orange dhoti with a yellow border and gold armlets, stands at left with his hands together in a respectful pose, a multicoloured flower garland draped around his neck. Beside him, a person in white ritual clothes is partly visible at the edge. In front of him stands a large deity murti adorned with dense garlands in red, yellow, purple and white, with a gold crown and a gilded kalasha-like pedestal. Gilded figures and a golden arch frame the shrine, and flower garlands hang over the seated images. Mounted on the wall at top left is a small purple emblem. The scene appears to be a temple or ashram shrine during puja.2015-01-04January 04 20152015-01-04A standing man in a rust-orange and gold-bordered dhoti and shawl, with a rust-orange turban topped by a white ornament, a gold bead mala at his chest and gold armbands, raises his right palm in greeting beside a decorated shrine. Behind him a gilded arched backdrop frames a seated deity murti with a trident and silver ornaments, draped in yellow and red marigold garlands and flanked by two smaller figures in blue and grey garments. In front, a gold peacock-form vahana stands on a red cloth-draped platform with a magenta flower garland. A red and patterned mat lies on the floor.2013-11-05A person in an orange-red dhoti with a yellow border and a red-and-blue garland stands at the left with palms joined in anjali, smiling, with a white-and-red tilak on the forehead and gold bangles on the wrist. Before them a large deity murti and a golden shivalinga-like form are heavily adorned with multicolored flower garlands in red, yellow, purple and white, with gold ornaments and a gold kalasha-style base. Behind the garlanded figures, seated deities with crowns and gold jewellery occupy a golden shrine. The setting is a temple mandapa with a gold-painted arch. Two people partly visible at the left edge wear saffron and white. The person in front is identified only by appearance cues: an orange robe, a shaved-looking head with a tilak, and gold bracelets, which do not establish identity; treat as a devotee performing darshan and puja.2015-01-04 +1 copiesA man with a long black dreadlock-style braid wrapped in a rust-orange cloth stands bent forward, his hand resting on a tall pillar wrapped in yellow and red roses, white flowers and green leaves.
