On the left, a black stone deity murti sits on a dark pedestal before a yellow draped backdrop and an ornate white arched frame, adorned with a yellow and red cloth and garlands. On the right, a man in profile with his hair in a bun stands with palms pressed together in namaste, wearing a red dhoti-style wrap with a gold border, a bare upper torso, a white beaded necklace, and a red-and-white band on his upper arm, facing the murti in reverence. Red flower petals are scattered at the base of the shrine.2011-11-27October 30 20112011-10-30Outdoors under tall trees, a man with long, dark, swept-back hair stands with palms pressed together in namaskar before a black stone deity murti set in a white arched niche with a green backdrop. The murti is draped with a saffron-and-cream cloth. In front lies a large mound of red flower petals, and a small black altar holds an oil lamp. The man wears a red-orange cloth wrap over his shoulders and bare chest, with gold bangles on his wrists and a gold necklace. The lower foreground shows a red cloth and a dry, earthy ground. The photo shows a worship scene, with the man offering prayer at the shrine.2011-12-05A photograph of an outdoor shrine in a wooded area. A man with long dark hair, wearing a red-orange dhoti and shawl with gold bangles and a gold necklace, stands at right with palms pressed together in anjali, eyes closed. Before him is a black stone deity murti in a white arched frame backed by green cloth, its face partly veiled with a cream cloth and multiple arms raised. In front is a heap of red-painted offerings and a small oil lamp on a low black stand. The man is a devotee in prayer; the identity of the person is not determined from appearance.2011-12-05July 02 20132013-07-02 +1 copiesA man with long swept-back dark hair stands outdoors in a wooded area, palms pressed together in prayer at his chest, eyes lowered. He is bare-chested, wearing a peach-coloured dhoti and a matching draped shawl edged in gold, with a beaded necklace and gold armlet. Before him is a black stone deity murti seated in a white arched niche, draped with a red cloth and garlanded with yellow and red flowers, with a green backdrop behind it. A large heap of red offerings lies in front of the shrine among trees and dry ground. The man's appearance with long hair, gold adornments and draped peach clothing is a compatible presentation, so this may be a person, shown in devotional prayer before the deity.2011-11-20December 29 20112011-12-29A photograph of a man in profile with eyes closed and hands folded in front of him, standing outdoors in a green, blurred setting.
