Close photograph of a hand holding a large gold cobra-hooded staff or sceptre against a plain mauve backdrop. The hand wears a bracelet of rudraksha beads with gold spacers, and a small gold pendant with a deity relief hangs from the staff's base. A red cloth lies below. No face is visible, so no person can be identified and there is no visible evidence of a person's presence.2020-03-04Photo 11727642Photo 11727629 +2 copiesClose-up photo of a hand holding a silver cobra figure, its hood raised and scales finely detailed. The hand wears a carved gold ring and layered gold and beaded bracelets. The background is a blurred golden ornate throne or altar with sparkling decorative metalwork. Only the hand and arm of one person are visible, so one physical person appears, with no face shown. The cobra is a ritual object.2024-04-05December 18 20152015-12-18March 05 20202020-03-05 +2 copiesApril 10 20202020-04-10 +1 copiesMarch 08 20202020-03-08 +2 copiesMarch 07 20202020-03-07 +1 copiesClose-up photo of a hand gripping a dark wooden staff carved with a coiled cobra whose hood rises at the top, with a gold-finished carved animal head. A wrist is wrapped in red and gold-beaded rudraksha-style bracelets, and red fabric with a patterned print is visible at the bottom. Purple-lit bamboo-like pillars fill the blurred background of what looks like a hall. The image shows a ceremonial staff, not a person's face.2014-07-20A close-up composite image of a hand and forearm with gold ornaments reaching down over a silver cobra-hooded object, possibly a Shiva lingam or serpent sculpture, against a deep red and black starry cosmic background.

A small bird silhouette appears at the upper left. No readable text except the copyright line in the lower right.2020-03-25 +1 copiesMay 08 20202020-05-08
