PAda Puja to SPH and Devi puja by SPH at devotee's home post April 2001PAda Puja to SPH and Devi puja by SPH at devotee's home post April 2001December 26 20122012-12-26A photograph in an ornate room with a gold-framed throne and leopard-print cushions. A seated figure wearing an orange saffron turban, orange robe and a yellow marigold garland receives offerings, with a long dark braid visible. A man in a blue and white striped polo shirt and white trousers bends forward, extending his hands with apples and a red-tasselled gift. Behind them two shaven-headed attendants in orange robes and rudraksha malas stand near a trident and a painted backdrop. A tray of red apples sits on a low table, with a brass vessel at the lower left. The scene reads as an offering or darshan moment.2016-04-28A seated man in an orange silk garment, bare-shouldered with a gold-toned sacred thread and a bracelet on his wrist, pours a white liquid from a shell-like vessel over a Sri Meru yantra made of pale tiers on a brass tray. The yantra sits on a peetha-like base amid marigold and jasmine garlands and pink petals, with a smoking fire pit and brass vessels beside it. Behind, a shrine holds a deity murti in red and white adornments flanked by brass lamps and flowers. A person's hand holding a brass vessel is partly visible at lower left, and a tiger-striped seat cover sits at the left edge. The description of this photo's appearance-based label: the man's shaved head, orange garment, sacred thread and bracelet are consistent with a person performing the abhishekam, with an unsure identity tag.PAda Puja to SPH and Devi puja by SPH at devotee's home post April 2001A seated man in saffron-orange silk robes performs a puja on a floor covered with a speckled tile, holding a silver handbell in his right hand and a small object in his left. He wears gold chains, a red rudraksha mala and gold bangles, and sits on a brown animal hide. Before him is an arrangement of white and pink flowers, a garland with yellow balls, a brass lamp stand, a copper vessel with rice, a bowl of yellow flowers and a shell. Behind him a bare-chested man in white dhoti stands near a black leather sofa. The scene suggests a home puja setting. One man is visible, partly behind the seated figure.May 20 20142014-05-20June 22 20142014-06-22August 15 20092009-08-15August 09 20072007-08-09A house-visit padapuja in a living room. A seated man with long swept-back hair, orange and maroon robes, rudraksha-style beaded adornments, bangles and a white flower garland sits with palms joined in prayer on an orange-draped couch. Two people in white clothes kneel at his feet: a woman in white with a red shawl washes his feet from a brass plate, and a man in white with glasses assists. Behind them stand two shaved-headed young sannyasis in saffron robes and white flower garlands, one holding a tall silver staff. A sofa with a white flower garland hangs in the background.2014-07-07 +1 copies
