Two deity murtis stand on a golden palanquin-style base, decorated with red and white garlands and yellow marigolds, lit by oil lamps. A man in orange robes holds a brass plate of yellow flowers toward the figure in a red shawl. The red-shawled figure, with long dark hair and a white headband, stands under an orange umbrella, with a bald attendant in pink-saffron dhoti holding a second umbrella and a chair nearby. Red and multicoloured canopies and a street lamp frame the scene, with a woman in a sari in the background. Appearance-based candidate: a person, the red-shawled figure with long hair under the orange umbrella, receiving the offering.2012-10-14November 26 20142014-11-26A photograph of a temple worship scene. A man with long, swept-back dark hair wears a red saffron-toned cloth wrapped around his body and bare shoulders, and raises one hand toward a pair of large golden-bodied deity murti. The murti are dressed in red garments and garlanded with marigolds, roses and yellow flowers, with ornate gold jewellery, a crown-like headdress and a red turban on the male figure. Behind them hangs a gilded arch framed in ornate gold, with red drapery on the left. At the lower left, a person in white holds a brass tray with offerings beside a stack of flower garlands. The setting is a temple shrine decorated for puja.2010-12-22November 26 20142014-11-26December 30 20092009-12-30December 22 20102010-12-22March 03 20112011-03-03Night outdoor ritual under a white and orange canopy.
