One man in a white dhoti and a man in an orange cloth with vibhuti on his forehead bend over and pour liquid from a vessel. A third man, bare-chested with a sacred thread and vibhuti marks, stands behind them. The golden shrine is draped with a gold cloth and wrapped in white jasmine and red rose garlands, with a clear glass cylinder holding red liquid inside. Another man in orange stands in the background. This appears to be abhishekam at a shrine.2017-05-10March 04 20202020-03-04April 14 20132013-04-14A woman in a white kurta with an orange shawl stands at right and reaches up to adjust a red and white flower garland on a deity murti seated on a gold serpent-hooded throne. The murti wears a blue sari, silver ornaments and a crown, and a large gilded cobra hood rises behind it. Coconut palms and an open pavilion stand in the background, and a flower-decorated pillar appears at far right.2011-09-29December 02 20182018-12-02A man in saffron-red robes with long dark hair and a red, white and yellow flower garland stands beside an ornate copper kalasha-shaped column wrapped with a white and striped cloth, topped with grass sprigs and draped with white and red flower garlands. He holds a small oil lamp and a silver bell, apparently performing a ritual, and smiles while facing the column. Below, the blurred heads of a few seated devotees are visible at the lower edge, with palm trees behind. The man has long swept-back hair, a gold necklace and a rudraksha-style mala, and his distinctive appearance and ceremonial role suggest Swamiji (probable) performing a puja at the copper pillar.2016-04-10December 12 20112011-12-12December 20 20182018-12-20 +1 copiesDecember 20 20182018-12-20 +1 copies
