In the centre, a man in orange-red robes stands at a flower-decorated seated platform, receiving ceremonial attention from priests in saffron and red dhotis. Priests in orange and white dress surround him, with one priest holding a ritual vessel and another leaning in with offerings. Red and white flower garlands and a marigold arrangement hang in the foreground. The scene appears to show a temple-style religious investiture with several priests attending, the central figure's identity not established from appearance alone.2012-04-27 +1 copiesJanuary 01 20082008-01-01Photo 11741247A photograph of a temple procession at night. 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.2012-04-30February 27 20142014-02-27
