A man with long swept-back dark hair, bare-chested, wearing an orange-brown dhoti with gold borders and a long orange-beaded necklace, stands with hands joined before the deity. Beside him, a shaved-headed priest in orange robes holds a silver tray with flowers and offerings, while another priest in orange with a white forehead mark assists. A young boy in a white shirt watches at the lower left and a few devotees' heads appear at the bottom. The deity wears flower garlands and a green and gold cloth. Swamiji appearance is a probable match: long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and orange-brown ritual dress, shown in person during the puja.2013-05-12May 12 20132013-05-12May 22 20152015-05-22April 23 20132013-04-23 +2 copiesMay 12 20132013-05-12Photo 11694025April 23 20132013-04-23 +2 copiesA ceremonial abhishekam scene at a temple-style stage with ornate gold arch and painted pillars. Two deity murtis, one golden-crowned with a bright orange-gold head covering and one with a teal blouse and magenta silk skirt, are adorned with garlands of red roses, yellow marigolds and jasmine. Three priests stand before them: a bare-chested priest in an orange-red shawl and dhoti with white sacred ash markings on his arms, a priest in white dhoti and turban holding a vessel, and a priest in white dhoti and turban with a garland extending his arm toward the murtis, holding a small golden vessel. The white marble floor shows a yellow tray in front.2013-04-23
