A photo inside a small room with cream walls and a zebra-striped cushioned seat draped with a red flower garland and a white cloth. A figure in an orange saffron robe with a gold-bordered shawl, long dark hair, and a large medallion on a garland bows forward, appearing to touch the feet of a man in a white shirt and white dhoti who bends low. A man in a white shirt with a gold wristwatch stands beside them, and a figure in a green and gold sari is at the right edge. A small glass case with a deity murti sits in the background. The orange-robed figure matches the appearance cues of the page's subject, so the label is a person, though the face is not used for identification.2011-12-21June 09 20092009-06-09A photograph inside a plain white-walled room. A seated figure in an orange robe, bare-chested with long swept-back hair, sits on a zebra-print upholstered throne, with white marks on the arm and body. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti bends forward to attend to the seated figure, while another white-clad attendant sits near the throne. On the left, a standing man in white dhoti and shirt with a rudraksha mala watches with hands folded. Behind them, marigolds and green leaves lie on the floor near a small ornate red-and-gold canopied shrine with a deity murti. A tall pillar painted with red, blue and white bird motifs stands in the background, with pink plastic bags stacked at right. The seated figure shows distinctive long hair, orange garments and bare-chested ceremonial adornment, which is a probable match for a person; the attendants are priests or devotees.2009-06-09July 11 20102010-07-11July 17 20082008-07-17A seated figure in long saffron-orange robes with long dark hair falls over the shoulders and a rudraksha mala hanging on the chest sits on a white-draped throne-style chair with gold trim and an orange cushion. A kneeling older man in white shirt and dhoti with a rudraksha mala and gold bangle reaches toward the seated figure's extended hand, while the seated figure's bare feet rest on a small footstool decorated with pink and white flowers. Behind them, standing devotees in white kurtas and dhotis wear yellow and orange shawls and rudraksha malas, watching the exchange. A wooden tray with green fruit, flowers and offerings sits on a white-draped table, and brass lamps and kalasha vessels stand on a shrine ledge in the background. Red-painted columns and temple architecture frame the scene outdoors.2010-06-13December 31 20082008-12-31August 25 20092009-08-25February 24 20092009-02-24A photograph of a padapuja ritual in an outdoor courtyard with an orange cloth floor. A figure in orange robes with long dark wavy hair, a long beaded necklace of gold-coloured beads and an orange shawl sits on a raised orange-draped seat, smiling and holding flower petals. A man in white clothes bends forward to touch the seated figure's bare feet, which rest on a pink-and-gold cloth and marigold garlands. Behind them, several men in white kurtas wear marigold garlands and orange shawls, with hands folded in greeting, and a woman in a yellow sari stands nearby. A brass bowl of petals and lemons sits on a wooden stand at left, with brass lamps and a shrine behind.2010-07-24A seated figure in orange robes with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala sits on a white-draped throne, extending a hand toward a kneeling devotee. The devotee wears white ritual clothes, a rudraksha mala and a gold bracelet, and bows with palms pressed together. Standing behind them are men in white kurtas with yellow shawls and an orange-shawled man. A tray of fruit, a brass lamp, flower petals and a platform with flowers sit nearby.2010-06-13November 26 20112011-11-26
