A priest with a bare upper body wearing a white dhoti and a gold-bordered shawl pours or scatters petals and flowers over a red-and-gold draped figure seated on the throne. Red roses and white jasmine garlands cover the seated figure. Another person in a reddish-brown dress with rudraksha malas stands at right holding a plate of yellow flowers, and several women in saffron and cream saris stand in the background near a fan and brass lamp. Visual cues do not establish a person as a physically present candidate, so the central figure's identity is uncertain. Deity murti, abhishekam or flower offering, gold throne, puja setting.2016-10-30March 03 20132013-03-03October 02 20162016-10-02October 12 20152015-10-12A seated figure in an orange-brown turban with red and white feathers, wearing a red bead garland, gold necklaces and gold armlets, places a hand on the head of a man in white who is bowing forward at a gilded throne. Behind them, saffron-robed figures, men in white dhotis and a man in a dark suit stand watching in a bright hall. A red offering box with fruit and a water bottle sits on a purple-draped table. The seated figure matches the page's description of a presenter with a distinctive turban and gold ornaments, though the image alone does not establish identity; the scene reads as a blessing or initiation with a devotee receiving a touch on the head.2014-01-01January 01 20142014-01-01August 09 20152015-08-09May 13 20132013-05-13
