Photo 11736381December 15 20132013-12-15Overhead view of a brass puja altar on a silver embossed cloth. At the top, a framed photograph of a smiling man in a saffron-orange turban and robe, framed by a garland of rudraksha beads, stands on a brass tray. Below it, a large brass plate holds rose petals, green leaves, gold coins and a few flower heads. Nearby are a brass oil lamp, a small brass vessel with a ladle, a folded maroon and gold cloth, a brass bell-shaped lamp stand, a shell conch, and a small plate of loose petals. No people are visible, only the altar arrangement.2014-09-10 +1 copiesDecember 15 20132013-12-15September 06 20142014-09-06A large life-size cutout photograph of a smiling man in a maroon turban and red-maroon robe, holding a silver trident in one hand and a white flower in the other, sits in a padmasana-style pose on a book-topped stand. He wears a garland of red and yellow roses and a gold pendant, and a rudraksha-style mala is visible. He is set before a golden throne backrest decorated with multicoloured jewelled pads. In the foreground is a silver tray of rose petals and two silver oil lamps, with a brass bell and a small brass elephant figure at left. Behind the cutout stands a flat screen and a yellow-orange cloth. The cutout is a depiction, not a physically present person; a person is marked as depiction because the appearance is a probable match to a person based on the turban, trident, garland and ornate throne cues.2021-07-03Home shrine photographed as a photo, with a large printed portrait on a dark panel of a smiling man bare-chested with a white forehead marking, wearing rudraksha beads across the chest and a red-orange dhoti, holding a silver trident with a tall pole. Beside it, a life-size printed image of a smiling man in a red turban with a tilak and a rudraksha mala draped with orange and yellow flower garlands, positioned on a glass table. The table holds white and yellow flower garlands, a small brass kalasha, a purple lotus, offering bowls, oil lamps, framed photographs of a smiling woman, and a framed image labelled Living Enlightenment. A framed gilded painting of a seated figure in red hangs above. The printed trident figure and the turbaned figure are depictions, not in-person presences.2021-06-28 +1 copiesOverhead view of a ritual puja setup on a rust-orange cloth over white tiles. A framed photograph stands at the back showing a long-haired figure in orange robes with a rudraksha mala, seated and gesturing with one hand; this is a printed portrait, not a person present.
