A person in a rust-brown dhoti and shawl, with long swept-back hair and a saffron-orange rudraksha mala, holds a lit oil lamp in one hand and a small vessel in the other, offering arati to the murti. The seated murti wear an orange turban-style crown, gold jewelry and garlands. Ornate gold arch and carved stone pillars frame the scene, with a gold trident-like staff at right. Appearance cues of the person are distinctive but the page is a single figure; the figure's appearance is consistent with a candidate description, so identity remains uncertain.2013-04-14Photo 117021292016-04-16July 12 20142014-07-12A standing man in saffron-brown robes and a wide gold-yellow waistcloth performs aarti with a lit oil lamp held in his right hand while a silver plate rests in his left. He wears a large gold-toned necklace over a rudraksha mala, gold bangles and a red tilak, and his long dark hair falls to his shoulders. Behind him, two gilded deity murti sit on a golden peetha under a gilded arch, one wearing an orange turban and the other a tall crown, both draped in heavy gold jewellery and white and red garlands. Green cloth and marigold and rose garlands frame the shrine. A partly visible person in orange at the lower left holds the plate. The man's identity is not established by appearance alone, so the scene is described by role.2013-04-14Photo 11738317 +1 copiesPhoto 11738314 +2 copiesPhoto 11694036
