Red curtains hang at the right edge.2018-03-02September 18 20062006-09-18A photograph of a bare-chested man in a rust-orange dhoti and matching shawl, with long dreadlocked hair and a rudraksha mala, performing a devotional gesture with palms pressed together and face bowed toward a richly decorated deity form. The murti is draped in layers of green, yellow, red and pink garlands with pink lotus flowers and gold ornaments. In front of it stands a silver bowl on a red-and-white striped mat, with an oil lamp beside it. A dark-robed figure with a shawl stands in the background near a black statue, and another person's hand holds a tray at left. Pillars and white cabinets frame the hall. This looks like a puja in progress.2018-05-30July 08 20172017-07-08A photograph taken inside a temple shrine. A person with long dark hair, seen from behind, wears an orange-saffron shawl and a white flower garland over the shoulders, and stands with hands pressed together in prayer before a shrine. The shrine holds a gold-coloured deity murti seated on a pedestal, flanked by smaller gold figures, with a red, green and white garland draped around the niche and yellow flower garlands hanging on the right. Small brass lamps and offerings sit on the pedestal in front, and hanging brass bells and chains decorate the ceiling. Grey marble pillars with carved floral patterns frame the scene, and a gold-finished figure appears at the lower left.2006-09-26A person in a rust-red unstitched robe with a saffron-orange waist sash and a white flower garland stands in profile at left, facing a shrine niche in a dimly lit stone temple.

Brass oil lamps stand on the stone ledge, and the carved temple pillars frame the scene.2014-08-05March 02 20182018-03-02March 23 20062006-03-23March 10 20132013-03-10A man sits with palms pressed together in namaste, eyes closed, wearing an orange-saffron shawl over his shoulders and a long garland of yellow and red flowers around his neck.

The frame is an orange-clad devotee's pranam or darshan-type gesture in a temple setting.2018-03-02
