Outdoor garden scene beside a red brick wall with pink hibiscus flowers and green shrubs. A man with a shaved head wearing a plain white dhoti with a gold border and a white shawl stands barefoot, holding a small brass lamp with a flame in his right hand and waving it toward a large dark grey stone statue of Ganesha seated on a pedestal and lotus base. A white and grey pebble border surrounds the stone platform. Ganesha's trunk and ornate headdress are clearly visible. The man appears to be performing a puja or aarti to the deity murti. No a person candidate is established by appearance.2011-08-31A man in white ritual dress with a pale cream head wrap stands on grass in a garden, holding a small brass lamp aloft in his right hand as an offering to a large dark grey stone statue of Ganesha seated on a pedestal. The four-armed Ganesha has an elephant head, a crown, and a sacred thread. The statue rests on a rounded mound of stones edged with white pebbles, with red soil and a small bamboo plant beside it. Red brick walls, pink hibiscus flowers and a utility pole form the background.2011-08-31January 09 20132013-01-09Outdoor evening photo at a garden shrine beside a red-orange wall. A standing figure in saffron-orange robes and a tall white-and-blue patterned crown faces a large grey stone Ganesha statue seated on a lotus-carved pedestal. The figure holds a brass oil lamp with a lit flame toward the deity, performing an aarti. Red-brown rocks, green plants and bamboo surround the statue, and the sky is dusky blue. The figure's face is turned away from the camera. The person's identity cannot be determined from appearance, so the figure is described by role only as a devotee performing aarti.2011-10-31April 07 20192019-04-07Night photograph of an outdoor shrine. Three grey stone statues of deities stand on a low stone plinth in front of a dark tree and an orange boundary wall. At right, a person in a saffron-orange robe with a shawl and a tall ornate cylindrical headdress holds a brass lamp with a flame and a brass bell, performing an aarti before the statues. Stones and grass are in the foreground. The person's face is not visible in an identifiable way, and the appearance cues (saffron robe, tall headdress) are insufficient to confirm a specific identity, so the a person field is unsure.2011-10-30April 01 20112011-04-01November 01 20112011-11-01December 05 20112011-12-05Night-time photograph of a priest in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, bare-chested, holding a lit oil lamp in his right hand and a small vessel in his left, performing aarti before a group of grey stone deity murtis standing on a low stone platform. A tree and an orange boundary wall are behind the figures. A partially visible devotee with folded hands stands at the right edge. The priest is not shown with distinctive visible cues of the page's named subject, so his identity is not established.2011-12-17Night photograph in a garden beside an orange-red compound wall.
