A man with a tied-back hair bun, bare-shouldered in saffron-orange cloth, stands at left, holding a small oil lamp flame and a bell over the figure, with a lotus-like flower nearby. Red and white flower garlands and a red curtain frame the altar beneath an ornate gold arch. The figure in saffron wears no crown, shawl or malas that clearly establish an identity, so no identification is made.2012-04-30 +2 copiesA bare-backed priest with dark hair tied up and an orange-saffron cloth draped over his shoulder stands at left, adjusting the golden crown of a gilded deity murti. The murti is adorned with white jasmine garlands, a red flower, and a golden kirītam crown, set within an elaborate gold-and-jewelled throne with red velvet and embroidered panels. Beside it, a second gilded figure wears a tall ornate crown, layered gold necklaces, and a red silk sari-like garment with floral garlands.2021-03-14A person in an orange-saffron dhoti-style wrap stands with their back to the camera, one arm raised to touch or adjust a gilded ceremonial arch. Dark hair is pulled into a bun, and a bangle and an orange-and-white beaded garland are visible. In front are golden deity murtis wearing ornate jewelled necklaces, a tall crown-like headdress with white and red flower garlands, and a pink lotus held in one hand. Red, white, yellow and purple garlands fill the background alongside an orange drape.2012-04-30November 23 20182018-11-23December 20 20182018-12-20 +1 copiesDecember 28 20082008-12-28 +1 copies
