A priest in an orange-red dhoti stands on the left, raising a long ceremonial fan or umbrella-like object over a figure seated in an ornate palanquin-style conveyance. The seated figure wears an orange-gold garment, a gold crown or headdress, and is heavily garlanded with red and white flowers; the seated figure appears to be a deity murti or decorated image rather than a living person. Pink and magenta drapes frame the palanquin. A second orange-clad attendant stands behind at left, and the temple pillars and lit arches are visible in the background.2012-04-30November 18 20102010-11-18A photograph of a night-time puja at a shrine. In the centre, a deity murti sits on a decorated platform, heavily garlanded with bright orange and red flowers and draped with greenery. A man in a saffron-orange robe and an ornate silver crown stands at the left, holding a brass ritual implement toward the murti. Behind him, a man in white and another person sit, and a seated man at right in a light shirt presses his palms together in prayer. String lights hang above the scene.2010-11-22Photo 11683878 +1 copiesNight ritual photograph of a large deity murti or decorated figure covered in dense garlands of red, yellow and green flowers, with a golden canopy above. A man in a saffron-orange robe with an ornate gold-patterned crown sits on the left, raising his hand toward the murti in an offering gesture, with a brass vessel on the ground in front. A second man in white dhoti and a red-bordered shawl kneels on the right with palms pressed together in prayer. A third person sits partly visible at the far left edge. The appearance of the crowned figure in saffron is a person candidate, identified by the saffron robe, crown and seated ceremonial posture, but the face is not clearly visible.2010-11-23December 05 20112011-12-05November 18 20102010-11-18Photo 11683843 +1 copies
