August 08 20162016-08-08A photograph of a man seen from behind, bare-shouldered and wearing a rust-red dhoti with a gold-bordered sash, holding a lit oil lamp toward a large Ganesha murti. The deity is decorated with a jewelled crown, silver and red ornaments, and garlands of marigolds and white and magenta flowers, set against a green silk backdrop and gold-covered shrine arch. Light from the flame catches the gold and bright colours in a dark night setting.2014-11-25September 05 20162016-09-05August 08 20162016-08-08November 22 20182018-11-22Photograph of a Ganesha deity murti decorated with a dense garland frame of marigolds and multicolored flowers in red, yellow, green, white and purple, set before gold lion-supported pillars and a maroon curtain. A standing man in an orange-saffron dhoti and bare upper body, with long dark hair and white markings on his arms, raises a multi-wick oil lamp toward the deity with his right hand, holding a small bell in his left hand. Gold lion statues appear at the left edge. Yellow drapery covers the base of the altar. The scene suggests an aarti offering.2017-08-25February 16 20162016-02-16Photo 11701811February 16 20162016-02-16August 20 20172017-08-20A photograph of a golden Ganesha murti seated on a golden throne before a red curtain, its body covered in dense rows of gold and jewelled ornaments with a crown and trunk adornments.
