December 23 20182018-12-23A shaven-headed priest with a white tripundra on his forehead, bare-chested and wearing rust-red and yellow-orange cloth wraps, stands at left in a rudraksha mala. He holds a small bowl in one hand while his other hand, with fingers raised, touches the forehead of a gilded metal deity murti standing on a tall brass pedestal. The murti wears an orange-gold silk dhoti and shawl, a tall crown, and has painted eyes and red lips. A dark carved stone wall forms the background. The scene resembles a puja or abhishekam at a temple, with the priest performing a blessing before the statue.2016-10-31August 16 20182018-08-16August 16 20182018-08-16January 08 20122012-01-08A man in an orange sleeveless garment and a long rudraksha mala stands in profile at right, long dark hair swept back, touching the forehead of a golden metal deity murti at left.
