Coconuts, green leaves and a small cloth-wrapped offering sit on the black stone pedestal. Behind, a large golden deity murti with red draped cloth and a gold feet and weapon-like staff stands in the background, with colourful floral garlands hanging nearby. The scene suggests a puja or abhishekam at a temple. The person wears rudraksha bracelets and a gold-beaded necklace.2015-01-13A bearded man with long dark dreadlocks and a rust-orange turban and orange robe bends forward with his head pressed against a black stone Shiva lingam on a dark pedestal, one hand resting on the stone. Ornate garlands of red, yellow and white flowers hang behind him. Beside him, a deity murti is dressed in a red and gold sari with jewelled silver ornaments, and a golden staff leans against the scene. A lit oil lamp glows at the right edge. The setting suggests a lingam abhishekam or puja. Swamiji (probable): the bending figure has long dreadlocks, an orange turban and saffron robe with rudraksha malas, matching the page's Swamiji reference, while the identification rests on appearance cues.2017-02-24A person in a rust-orange saffron garment with a gold border bends low, forehead pressed to a grey stone platform in a temple, in an act of prostration. Their long dark hair is braided and a white flower garland drapes over their shoulders, with a rudraksha bracelet on one wrist. Behind them, a carved stone pillar shows a lion figure and deity relief. Before them, a stone altar is decorated with white roses, orange roses and purple orchids, and a garland of purple, orange, yellow and pink flowers hangs along the front. To the left stands an ornate deity murti decorated with jewels and a flower garland.2018-04-14A temple abhishekam scene at night. A bare-chested person with rudraksha beads on the head and arms, wearing a rust and gold cloth, pours or presses water over a dark Shiva lingam. Beside them a bald priest in orange-red robes with rudraksha malas bends forward, holding a brass bowl. Behind them stands a deity murti in a red turban wrapped in layered garlands of red, pink, yellow and purple flowers, with golden hands visible at right and a golden silk shawl. Warm lamplight and a glass case fill the background.2015-02-17 +1 copiesFebruary 24 20172017-02-24A photograph of a Hindu temple worship scene. Two men in orange saffron clothing stand before a golden deity murti of Shiva Linga with a silver-and-gold shaft and a black stone base, draped in a garland of yellow, red, white and green flowers. A man in a left-side position holds a brass vessel of offerings; the central figure with long dark hair and a red-beaded mala pours or offers over the linga. Behind them, large deity figures in orange and gold garments wear crowns and gold necklaces, with a small white-robed statue and an orange turban on a pedestal in front. This appears to be abhishekam puja.2012-01-01June 07 20162016-06-07
