A man in a saffron-orange robe with an ornate gold-patterned crown sits on the left, raising his hand toward the murti in an offering gesture, with a brass vessel on the ground in front. A second man in white dhoti and a red-bordered shawl kneels on the right with palms pressed together in prayer. A third person sits partly visible at the far left edge. The appearance of the crowned figure in saffron is a person candidate, identified by the saffron robe, crown and seated ceremonial posture, but the face is not clearly visible.2010-11-23January 01 20122012-01-01A temple shrine scene where a priest in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, wearing a tall ornate crown and a rudraksha mala, decorates a row of deity murtis with garlands of red, orange, yellow and purple flowers. The murtis are draped in red and gold cloth, with a brass oil lamp in the foreground. To the right, a small figure in orange robes with a bare head sits before the golden shrine, hands folded. Gold-toned pillars and carved stone walls frame the sanctum.2010-11-12November 23 20102010-11-23A temple ritual photograph in which a shirtless man with dark hair pulled back, wearing an orange-red dhoti, stands at left reaching up with both hands to a deity murti. The murti is draped in a bright orange garment, heavily adorned with strings of pearls and beads, and wrapped in red roses, white flower garlands and green leaves. A pink silk cloth hangs behind it beside an ornate gold-toned canopy. At far left, another person in orange robes stands beside a brass tray of flowers. Stone pillars and a warm orange wall frame the scene.2012-04-30 +1 copiesApril 21 20132013-04-21A photograph of a temple ritual inside a hall with overhead lighting.
