Photograph inside a temple shrine showing a standing person in orange saffron robes with back turned to the camera, hands raised near a black stone shivalinga-style abhishekam pedestal, with a copper-coloured pyramid-shaped sri yantra object and a small brass figure in the foreground. Behind is a seated deity murti in red and gold garments with a crown, flanked by two gilded niches holding standing statues garlanded with white and pink flowers, one in a green-backed niche and one in a green-backed niche on the right. Brass oil lamp and a flower-strewn floor complete the scene.2017-09-05June 12 20142014-06-12September 05 20172017-09-05A figure in orange saffron robes with bare upper body and dark curly hair stands with back to the camera, performing abhishekam at a black stone shivalinga set on a dark lotus-shaped peetha. Behind them is a shrine with a seated deity murti in red and gold garments, flanked by standing devotee statues draped in white and pink flower garlands and gold ornaments. A brass oil lamp stands at right, and flower petals are scattered on the floor.2017-09-05 +1 copiesA temple shrine scene where a person in an orange-saffron cloth is seen from behind, pouring or offering over a black stone shivalingam set on a black stone yoni-pitha base. Behind it, seated deity murtis with gold crowns, garlands of white and pink flowers and gold ornaments sit within a red and gold backdrop. Two standing statues flank the shrine: one on the left in green and orange garments, one on the right in a yellow-and-brown headwrap, red dhoti and a large necklace, both garlanded. Brass oil lamps stand at right and scattered pink petals cover the wet floor. The page excerpt mentions a Tamil satsang, but the visible shrine is not tied to that event.2017-09-05A temple shrine photographed from behind a young person in an orange saffron dhoti and shawl with red-and-pink borders, standing before a garlanded deity murti. Two large gilded deity figures stand under a gold arch against red drapery, one wearing an orange turban and the other a crown, with dark-blue and red garments. A tall black lingam-like form at centre is wrapped with white and red flower garlands and sits on a golden yoni-peetha draped with a blue cloth. A smaller gold-clad figure stands to the right in a niche, and offerings and a small brass lamp sit in front. This is a shrine with a devotee doing darshan, not a discourse or satsang scene.2014-01-31June 22 20132013-06-22 +1 copiesA shaved-headed priest in orange robes pours liquid from a small vessel over a golden murti of a standing deity with a trident and ornate crown, flanked by two smaller gold figures in maroon garments. Behind them, a gold-framed shrine holds two large painted deity figures in red and gold garments, with a golden seated figure in saffron before a gold kalasha-topped structure garlanded with marigolds and purple flowers. Red drapery and brass lamps frame the shrine, and a copper vessel sits on the floor. The scene reads as abhishekam at a temple shrine.2010-11-12July 15 20142014-07-15June 22 20132013-06-22A photograph inside a temple shrine of a large gilded deity murti seated with a consort, both dressed in pink and red silk with rich gold ornaments and marigold garlands, backed by a teal curtain within an ornate golden arch. In front stands a small yellow-robed seated figure. A standing man in orange sannyasi robes with a rudraksha mala and bare shoulders faces the shrine, appearing to be a devotee or priest, not a clearly identifiable a person candidate.2011-02-25Temple sanctum with a black stone shivalingam set in a dark basin on a golden-arched altar before gilded deity murtis of a male and female form in red, orange and green garments and white floral garlands. A shaven-headed priest in an orange dhoti and shawl, with a rudraksha mala and tilak, holds a brass vessel and pours over the lingam while a young girl in a maroon outfit kneels to the basin edge. Brass oil lamps stand at the right and a small silver figure sits on a stand before the basin. The scene is an abhishekam at a temple shrine.2013-06-22 +1 copies
