November 23 20112011-11-23A close photo of a gold ceremonial staff topped with a leaf-shaped gold finial engraved with a horizontal lingam-like motif, its base wrapped in red cloth and smeared with red and yellow ritual paste. Behind it, blurred gold oil lamps stand against a gold-carved temple pillar. A person in orange robes is partly visible at the left edge, and red fabric hangs at the right. No faces are visible, and no one can be identified as a person.2010-11-12A close photograph of a gold ceremonial staff with a pointed, bulbous finial carved with a horizontal band and a red cabochon stone, held in a bare hand. The bearer wears a maroon garment, a dense rudraksha-bead armband, a bracelet, and long gold necklaces strung with rudraksha beads on the right. The background is a deep red gradient. The bearer's face is not visible, so no identification is made.2020-03-30 +1 copiesPhoto 11716642February 10 20252025-02-10November 12 20102010-11-12November 19 20182018-11-19Photo 11716602May 31 20182018-05-31 +1 copiesClose-up photograph of an ornate gold trident-topped staff held upright, its three prongs and ridged, bulbous shaft catching the light against a dark blurred background. Beside it a person in a deep red garment rests a hand adorned with gold bangles on what appears to be a seat. Only the hand and red fabric of the seated person are visible, the face is outside the frame.2011-01-23November 01 20112011-11-01Close-up photograph of a gold-coloured ceremonial staff held in a person's hand against a dark blurred background. The staff has a tiered, ribbed body with bulbous rings and a flame-like or pointed finial at the top, resembling a ritual sceptre or ceremonial mace. The hand wears a gold bangle, and the sleeve of a red garment with gold embroidery is visible at the lower right, along with a pale ribbon or cloth passing across the frame. Only the hand and arm are visible, so no face or identity can be determined and no one is clearly recognisable as a person.2011-01-23
