January 12 20152015-01-12A ceremonial scene under a white tent with pink-lit fabric. A bare-chested priest in a white dhoti with an orange border kneels at the lower left, holding a brass plate with a flame toward two seated men on golden thrones. The seated man at the centre, in orange robes, covers his face with both hands. The man at right, in orange robes with a yellow, red and green flower garland, a black rudraksha mala and a white horizontal forehead mark, sits with hands folded and eyes lowered. A standing attendant wears a white shirt with yellow lanyard and rosette.2015-01-12Night ceremony under a pink and gold draped canopy. A shaved-headed priest in orange robes stands at left holding a flaming lamp and a bell, with a gold-rimmed kalasha-style object near him. Four men sit or stand in the middle: two in orange and two in white dhotis, hands joined in anjali. On the right, a seated man on an ornate gold throne with lion-armrest carvings wears an orange shawl, red cushion, a white and red flower garland, and holds his palms together with eyes closed. A white platform and red cushion sit before the throne. The scene looks like an aarti or puja.2011-12-08January 12 20152015-01-12 +1 copiesNight ceremony under a decorated red and white canopy with gold and multicolour draping. A priest in orange robes and a rudraksha mala holds a lit aarti lamp with flames and smoke, facing a seated man on a gold, lion-armed throne with a red cushion. The seated man wears an orange cloth, a long white and red flower garland, bangles, and sits with palms pressed together. Four monks in orange and white stand behind them with hands folded, and a white-draped platform with a red cushion lies in front. The appearance of the seated man is consistent with the a person cues of a throne, saffron clothing, and garlanded honour, though this is uncertain. Abhishekam or aarti is visibly suggested by the lamp.2011-12-08May 09 20152015-05-09 +1 copiesJanuary 12 20152015-01-12September 14 20102010-09-14January 12 20152015-01-12 +1 copiesJanuary 11 20152015-01-11December 08 20112011-12-08A ceremonial padapuja scene in an indoor hall.

A shaved-headed attendant in orange robes and rudraksha beads stands behind them, and a man in a yellow shawl and white dhoti watches at left. A large backdrop of a deity in red and white behind the throne and gilded plates of flowers and offerings at the lower right complete the scene.2010-09-18
