A temple interior shows two men seated on ornate gold thrones with red cushions. The seated man on the left wears orange robes, a red-and-white garland of beads and a headband, holding a small golden vessel. The seated man on the right is bald, bare-chested, wears orange cloth, multiple rudraksha malas and a sandalwood forehead mark, and holds a small white cloth. Standing attendants in white dhotis with gold borders and orange-clad devotees surround them, and a devotee lies prostrate in the foreground in full pranam. Stone pillars and a polished stone floor complete the setting.2012-05-09April 29 20182018-04-29 +1 copiesIndoor temple scene with a polished stone floor and a tall pillared corridor opening to daylight. Two ornate golden thrones with carved backs and red cushions stand on the right. Seated on the nearer throne is a bald, bare-chested man in a saffron-orange cloth, wearing a white and red flower garland; he has no visible long hair, crown or mala, so his identity is not established by appearance. Beside him sits another robed man in orange-red with a flower garland. Standing figures in white dhotis and shirts, several with orange-bordered cloths, watch. In the foreground a young man in a white shirt and white dhoti lies prostrate face-down on the floor, arms stretched in front, in a sashtanga-style pranam. A white-clad older man bends forward with hands folded nearby.2012-05-12A seated figure on a gold lion-armrested throne with a gold arch backdrop, wearing an orange-saffron robe, white flower garland and gold necklaces, smiling with palms joined in greeting. In front, a bare-chested devotee in white dhoti with striped border prostrates on red carpet, with a rudraksha-style mala at his neck. Three attendants stand to the left: a man in white dhoti with a purple-and-pink cloth, a bare-chested man with white shawl and tilak, and a young boy with a white vibhuti line on his forehead. Brass lamps flank the throne, and a red velvet curtain hangs behind.2015-11-22May 14 20122012-05-14 +1 copiesAugust 10 20112011-08-10Night-time ritual at an outdoor ashram setting with smoke rising above. A bare-chested man in white dhoti lies prostrate with his forehead to the ground in front of a white-tiered altar strewn with flower petals, silver vessels and a kalasha. Three women in red and orange saris sit on a purple mat to the left with hands folded. Behind the altar, a figure in white dhoti and rudraksha mala sits on an ornate red and gold throne, with a second man in white with striped sacred markings beside him, and a man in orange robes holding a silver plate behind. A wooden shield-like board stands to the right. The scene suggests puja or darshan rather than a labelled event, and no printed text is legible.2010-10-16 +1 copiesFebruary 22 20162016-02-22 +1 copiesMay 09 20122012-05-09 +1 copiesFebruary 22 20162016-02-22 +1 copiesMay 14 20122012-05-14A photo inside a temple-like hall with polished stone floors and a gold-framed throne. A bald, bare-chested elderly man with white tripundra marks on his forehead and a gold-beaded rudraksha mala sits on a red-orange cushioned seat, holding a small object in his hand. Beside him, a smiling man in orange robes, with a rudraksha mala and ornate gold-beaded necklace, sits on a gilded chair. A devotee in white clothing with a gold border bows low on the floor before the seated figure, with a silver plate, cup and marigold-like petals nearby. Another man in orange stands at the left edge. The seated elder appears to be an ascetic receiving reverence, with no clear identification beyond roles.2012-04-11
