A night photograph of a decorated wooden structure. Each finial sits in a garland of red roses and yellow marigolds, with white flower garlands arching between them and hanging down the front. Gold tinsel and ornamental fringe hang from the bases. The background is almost entirely black, lit only by the subject.2014-10-27August 21 20142014-08-21November 25 20142014-11-25June 19 20162016-06-19November 25 20142014-11-25A decorated ceremonial pedestal shrine at night, dressed with yellow marigold garlands and white jasmine strands tied with red ribbons. Three silver-topped kalasha-style finials rise above, with green leaves and grass tufts. Two seated figures with hands in anjali mudra flank a central deity murti draped in red cloth and a jewelled necklace. Yellow lions and a coiled five-headed cobra form the base, painted in bright colours. Blurred warm lamp light glows at the right edge.2015-01-07Night view of a golden arched shrine framing two standing deity murtis dressed in jeweled, sequined costumes and crowns, with a green silk backdrop. In front, two silver-brass kalasha pots are wrapped with garlands of yellow marigolds and red roses, topped with mango leaves and a brass lamp or vessel. The scene appears to be a festival or puja decoration; no people are visible.2013-10-15November 25 20142014-11-25August 09 20152015-08-09June 19 20162016-06-19A photograph, rotated sideways, of a richly decorated ritual object heaped with garlands of marigolds, red roses, white flowers and green leaves, with pink petals scattered across it. A golden ornamented plate or vessel sits at the right, and a brass oil lamp with a lit flame is at the upper left beside coconut halves, fruits and a small sacred thread. No people are visible in the scene; the image shows only the floral-adorned object and offerings.2016-06-19September 06 20142014-09-06
