A brass oil lamp with a lit flame stands in the foreground on a red cloth, beside pink flower petals and a brass bowl of white rice or offering. Behind them, a small blurred figure in saffron-orange robes with a long beard and a tall crown-like headdress sits as a depiction. The background is softly out of focus with warm tones. The setting suggests a puja arrangement with lamp, flowers and offerings.2017-07-20A hand lights a small brass oil lamp on an orange cloth-covered altar. Beside it stands a framed photograph of a saffron-robed man with long hair, a red turban-like cloth, and a red-and-gold beaded mala around his neck, shown as a printed picture rather than a live person. Brass plates hold flowers, a brass vessel and a small brass lamp, with another flame burning nearby. The scene is a devotional puja setup. Only the hand of one person is visible.2013-07-12January 25 20172017-01-25February 01 20172017-02-01January 25 20172017-01-25Close-up photo of a puja arrangement on a metal tray with lit oil lamps and a brass lamp stand. In the centre sits a small figurine of a seated figure wearing an orange-saffron garment, a tall orange turban-like crown, and a layered gold necklace, with one hand raised near the chest. Incense smoke rises at left, and a brass ritual implement and yellow flowers appear at right. No physical people are visible; the figurine is a statue and the tray is an offering setup.2017-02-11Close overhead photo of a puja set-up on a red-brown woven mat. A bare hand with gold bangles holds a lit brass oil lamp (diya) aloft toward a small seated figure in orange and gold robes with a red turban, a printed cut-out or statue on a wooden stand, with a second lit oil lamp beside it. Brass plates hold white flowers, a red-garlanded cut-out figure, a small bowl of white powder, and brass vessels. Blurred orange cloth lies at the top edge.2017-02-01A photograph of a puja tray set up on stone steps at night, lit by oil lamps and a small candle. Two cutout printed figures stand on the tray: a larger one in a saffron-orange robe, a rudraksha-style garland, gold necklace and a red-orange turban, raising one hand in blessing, and a smaller figure in similar orange clothing and turban beside it. Brass items include a kalasha-style vessel, a small brass bell, a conch shell, a ritual implement and a brass cup, with red roses and incense sticks smoking nearby. No physical people are visible. The printed figures are paper or card depictions, not in-person presence.2016-12-06March 06 20132013-03-06Close view of a ritual setup on a white tile floor: a cutout standee of a turbaned, bearded figure in orange robes and gold necklaces, with hands raised in blessing, stands behind a brass tray holding a small fire with orange-red flowers, a brass lamp and a brass pot. A person in orange robes with bangles holds a flame-lit lamp over the tray, and another orange-clad arm appears at upper right beside a second standee and yellow petals. Brass cups, a bell, and yellow flowers are on a second tray below. The standee is a printed or cut-out depiction, not a physical person.2017-01-25July 12 20132013-07-12February 01 20172017-02-01
