A man with long swept-back hair, a white forehead band and an orange robe with a rudraksha mala stands at centre, pouring water from a brass pot over a black stone shivalinga. Two shaven-headed priests in orange and white robes, one in a white dhoti with a black beaded mala, stand beside him holding brass pots, and a devotee in white lies prostrate on the wet floor in the foreground. Behind the lingam, a deity murti pair in gold and orange garments sits beneath a golden arch decorated with multicoloured flower garlands. The floor is wet with spilled water.2008-03-31May 12 20082008-05-12December 23 20102010-12-23A temple ritual before deity statues seated on a gilded throne-like seat draped with red cloth and garlanded with marigolds and red and purple flowers. A bald man in saffron robes and a white-dressed person stand on a raised platform, the white-clad figure reaching up with a golden plate to the deity statues. A second bald man in white dhoti stands at the left edge. Ornaments hang from a flower garland, and a lamp stand is visible at the lower right. The scene is outdoors under a stone canopy.2010-12-21December 25 20092009-12-25December 11 20112011-12-11
