Photograph of a devotional altar during an abhishekam setting. Three bronze-coloured murti statues stand on a brass tray strewn with pink petals and marigolds: a small standing figure on the left, a central deity figure with a tall crown and raised hands, and a figure on the right in a golden-yellow garment. A brass bell hangs above, and oil lamps, brass bowls and an OM symbol stand nearby. Behind the altar, a large printed portrait of a person in a pink-brown robe and gold necklaces is partly visible, along with women in red and pink saris who are seated and adorned with garlands and gold jewellery. The printed portrait and the seated women are not counted as physical people in the scene's count; only the listed people are physically present.2021-01-18A photograph of a shrine table with golden metal murti statues of a deity couple standing on square bases, one with a crown and a seated child figure at left. Pink rose petals are scattered around the bases and a bright oil lamp flame burns in front. A garlanded red-and-white portrait backdrop sits behind, with a hand and a folded red cloth at the top left. A small golden kalasha-style vessel and an orange fruit sit at the right, with an ornate golden shrine figure and a pink garland. Hands appear at the lower left edge, consistent with puja offerings. No living person is clearly visible in the main frame.2021-01-04KAILASA DHUMBARAI, NEPAL on 1/4/20212021-01-04A hand pours milk from a golden vessel over small gold-toned bronze deity murtis standing on a tray with yellow and white liquid, petals and a black shivalinga. Behind, a large printed portrait of a smiling man with a rust-orange turban, rudraksha-style necklaces, gold ornaments and an orange wrap sits with hands raised, draped in a yellow-and-pink garland. A gilded arched kalasha-style frame with a green cloth sits to the right, and a pink table cloth covers the altar. This is abhishekam to bhogamurtis at a home temple.2021-05-24KAILASA DHUMBARAI, NEPAL on 5/24/20212021-05-24KAILASA DHUMBARAI, NEPAL on 5/24/20212021-05-24A home temple abhishekam scene on an orange cloth-covered table. A pair of hands pours liquid from a brass vessel over a small gold-toned Ganesha murti seated under an arch, while a brass tray holds yellow liquid with floating pink petals. Behind the table, a large printed portrait shows a smiling man with a rust-red turban, rudraksha mala, flower garland and gold ornaments; a portrait captioned or labelled is not visible, so the figure is a depiction. A gold throne-like stand with a carved hood holds flowers, and a garlanded golden deity figure sits nearby. To the right, a second printed figure wears a green garment. No physical people are shown in full, only the hands pouring.2021-06-22KAILASA DHUMBARAI, NEPAL on 3/29/20212021-03-29KAILASA DHUMBARAI, NEPAL on 5/24/20212021-05-24KAILASA DHUMBARAI, NEPAL on 7/12/20212021-07-12Photograph of a home temple shrine set up for ritual worship.
