Kailaasa Paramparagatha Sūrya Vaṃśa Sarvajnapeetha Adi Noothana Chola SamrajyamA priest in orange ritual clothing bends forward at a stone shivalinga-style yoni-pitha in a dim stone-walled sanctum, pouring liquid from a metal vessel over the central object. The priest has a shaved head and wears an orange dhoti and orange upper cloth. A curved brass or golden ornamental frame surrounds the object, and yellow-tinged liquid and offerings are visible on the base. The setting appears to be a temple abhishekam.May 08 20122012-05-08A man in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha beads holds a brass aarti lamp with a lit flame in both hands at a temple-style ceremony. He has a shaved head and a bare upper body with a shawl draped over the shoulders, and a gold necklace is visible. Behind him, a few seated devotees and a woman in a pale garment are partly visible, and an oil lamp or light fixture glows in the background. The scene suggests aarti performed during puja.2012-05-08May 16 20122012-05-16 +1 copiesA photograph of a temple abhishekam at a shrine with a large black stone Nandi-style bull statue on a tiled platform. A man in saffron-orange robes with a red border and a shawl draped over his head, wearing a gold necklace and bracelets and a white-and-red tilak on his forehead, leans forward holding a brass pot to pour liquid over the black stone sculpture. Beside him a child in a red outfit holds a small brass vessel near the statue. Behind them a woman in a maroon sari stands near colourful garlands, flowers and a decorated deity murti; a red EXIT sign is visible on the wall. The man's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person but cues are only partly distinctive, so identity is uncertain.2008-05-03December 24 20112011-12-24May 19 20122012-05-19 +1 copiesOctober 12 20112011-10-12January 29 20122012-01-29Annadhan in 20042004-01-01 +1 copiesMay 31 20122012-05-31
