The central murti has four arms and a golden crown, wearing a heavy jewelled necklace, with a magenta and white dhoti-style cloth. A small golden peetha-like throne with a crown and garlands sits before them. A seated priest in saffron-orange robes gestures with his hand near offerings of brass vessels and an oil lamp. To the right, a small statue of a standing figure in orange and brown with a red-and-gold headdress and rudraksha-style beads stands in a blue niche, with a lamp beside it. Ornate gold-painted arches frame the scene.2013-07-02A temple ritual in a covered hall. A central seated deity murti, adorned with gold and jewelled necklaces, garlands and a tall gold-and-orange crown, sits before an ornate gold arch and a dark embroidered backdrop. A priest in a red-brown dhoti and shawl, with a mala and garlands, raises his hand over a brass lamp, and smoke rises in front of the deity. To the left a man in white with a flower garland holds the ritual items. On the right a standing man wears a red-orange turban, flower garlands and a white dhoti. Smaller deity murtis sit beside the central figure, and a microphone stands at lower left.2014-05-10September 17 20182018-09-17November 26 20182018-11-26October 27 20182018-10-27September 24 20182018-09-24A photograph of a temple puja before a golden deity murti pair seated on a throne decorated with red, yellow and white flower garlands and green foliage. 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.2013-04-14
