August 25 20062006-08-25July 26 20102010-07-26 +1 copiesA photograph of a person with long dark hair, wearing an orange sari-style garment with a gold border, bowing forward with the head pressed against a richly decorated deity murti. The murti wears a maroon silk garment with gold zari border, layered diamond-studded necklaces and a jewelled crown-like ornament. Dense garlands of yellow, white and red flowers surround the figure, and a metal bowl and bronze feet of the deity are visible at the lower right. The scene suggests an act of devotion at a shrine in a temple setting.2007-01-01December 28 20112011-12-28A photograph of a shrine ritual in which a long-haired man in an orange saffron garment with gold border and a white jasmine garland bends forward and presses his head against a grey stone lingam set on a black base. He rests one hand on the stone. Behind him stands a copper-coloured deity murti with crown, wearing a red velvet garment and layered crystal and jewelled necklaces. Yellow and red flower garlands and marigolds decorate the altar, with mango leaves at the base.2007-01-01A photograph inside a temple shrine showing a person in a flowing orange robe and orange wrap bending forward to touch a tall gold kalasha-shaped vessel draped with garlands of white jasmine, yellow and red flowers and green leaves. Behind and beside it stand more garlanded shrine elements, a gold arch, and a large painted deity murti with a red face and crown. In the lower left, a white figure wearing a red head covering and red garland sits with hands folded. Brass pots, a gold oil lamp and a brass vessel with swastika markings sit on the floor, and blue cloth hangs in the background.2008-12-30March 02 20112011-03-02 +1 copiesA photograph of a person with long, voluminous dark hair in an orange-saffron garment with gold border, bending forward with head pressed against a dark stone lingam on a pedestal, one hand resting on it. Behind is a dense arrangement of yellow, white and red flower garlands. To the right stands an ornate deity murti with jewelled necklaces, a red and gold dhoti-like drape and a crown, with a green leaf offering at the base of the lingam. Consistent with a temple puja. The figure's appearance shows long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, a person cue, but identity remains uncertain from appearance.2007-01-01A figure in an orange-saffron robe and matching orange turban stands with palms pressed together in namaskar before a decorated deity murti. The murti wears a gold crown, layered garlands of white jasmine flowers and orange and red blooms, and a gold-bordered red shawl. A gold-handled staff rests against it. To the left is a framed painting of a white horse. Golden lamps and pink flowers sit at the right edge, with a grey draped fabric backdrop behind. Swamiji (probable): the figure has long dark hair falling below the turban, saffron clothing and gold neck ornaments, matching the page's description of Paramahamsa Nithyananda at this event.2005-09-20January 23 20112011-01-23 +1 copiesA photograph inside a temple shrine showing a man in a saffron-orange robe bending forward with his palms pressed together, offering reverence to a deity murti decorated with yellow and magenta flower garlands. Behind him, a golden deity pair stands under a golden canopy, with a cobra hood and a silver trident. Another deity murti in red cloth and silver garland sits in front of a silver-ornamented base. Brass oil lamps, kalasha vessels and bowls surround the shrine, and a second saffron-clad attendant stands at the left edge holding a small object.
