A photograph of a temple ritual in which a man with long dark hair, wearing a white dhoti with gold borders and a bare upper torso draped in a gold-bordered white cloth, leans forward to adorn a deity murti. Heavy garlands of yellow, red, purple and white flowers and green leaves hang around a tall decorated figure. The deity wears a gold crown-like headdress, gold jewellery and a rudraksha-style necklace, and a gold-and-white garment with red drapery. A gold vessel and a small brass lamp sit below. Red curtains and a stone pillar frame the scene, with flower arrangements on the left.2011-01-01January 01 20112011-01-01July 31 20152015-07-31A woman in a white sari stands bent forward at a temple shrine, extending her hands toward a white marble statue of a seated figure in a white turban and white robe, draped with red and white garlands. Behind her, a pair of decorated deity murtis wear white and gold garments and crowns, framed by a heavy garland of yellow, red and purple flowers and a red cloth backdrop. A man in orange robes stands at the left edge holding a tray, and brass oil lamps, a brass kalasha and a lota sit on the floor in front. The scene suggests a puja or padapuja at the shrine. No a person candidate is clearly visible; the central figure is a statue.2010-12-21December 21 20102010-12-21October 28 20062006-10-28December 21 20102010-12-21A person in an orange saffron robe with long, loose dark hair and a vertical tilak on the forehead stands at left, draping a garland of yellow marigolds and red-and-white flowers over a dark stone lingam at the centre.
