A single person in a dark silhouette walks away from the camera down the carpet between metal railings. Behind him, two large deity murti stand under a golden arch, one adorned with a red and gold crown and marigold garlands, the other in a blue and white sari-like garment with floral garlands. A smaller figure in red and gold garland stands to the right. Red drapes hang on the left and right posts, and a bell is visible at upper left.2013-01-18A photograph of a temple shrine with a large deity murti seated on a pedestal, dressed in pink and orange garments with a gold crown and red-and-white flower garlands, holding a ceremonial object in one raised hand. Gold-painted arched frames and a teal backdrop surround the figure. Along the central red-carpeted walkway between brass railings lit by oil lamps, a single figure in a dark brown dhoti walks toward the shrine, seen from behind. Red and white painted walls and a small standing figure on the right complete the setting.2013-02-27A photograph of a temple sanctum with a red carpet runway between silver railings leading toward a deity murti. Two large figures in red and pink drapery sit on a raised dais, garlanded with marigold and multicolour flower necklaces, backed by gold-leaf arches. A man in a dark brown dhoti and a dark shawl with a rudraksha-style necklace walks down the carpet toward the shrine. Seated figures in saffron-orange robes flank the dais, and a brass bowl sits at the base of the platform. Colourful striped pillars with floral motifs frame the scene, and robed attendants in white stand at the edges.2012-02-11January 28 20132013-01-28A photograph taken from behind of a single person in a dark orange-red sannyasi robe walking down a red-carpeted aisle toward a large deity murti. The murti is adorned with a thick garland of red and yellow flowers and wears a blue and pink garment, with a gold-framed backdrop and a pink curtain behind it. Flanking stone carvings and small smaller shrine images are visible on the pillars, and orange-red drapes hang on both sides of the aisle. The figure is seen only from the back, so no face is visible; no identity is established from appearance.2011-02-02A photograph taken from behind of a single person in a saffron-orange sannyasi-style robe, walking up a red-carpeted aisle between brass handrails toward a temple shrine. The figure's hands are pressed together in prayer at the chest, and the head is shaved. Ahead, a large deity murti is decorated with yellow and orange marigold garlands, with a pink and red draped backdrop and red-and-white ornaments flanking the shrine. Red curtains hang at the sides of the frame. The figure's features are not visible, and no identification is made from appearance; the person is shown only as a silhouette in devotional posture.2011-02-02August 28 20112011-08-28 +1 copiesAugust 28 20112011-08-28 +1 copiesJanuary 20 20132013-01-20A silhouetted figure walks down a red carpet between two metal railings toward a shrine.
