A photograph of three tall silver-plated ceremonial poles or staves leaning against a rough grey stone wall in a storeroom. Each pole has an ornate, repoussé-decorated capital with lotus-petal motifs, a bulbous collar, and a square base panelled with floral carvings, set on red-painted wooden stands. Several plain dark iron rods lean among them, along with a wooden board with a red stripe and loose timber on the floor. No people are visible.

A photo of three tall silver-coloured metal poles standing upright against a grey stone block wall in a dim interior. Each pole has an ornate floral capital with a flat square top and a lotus-like carved band, and long thin rods project upward from their tops. Several additional thin rods lean against the poles at the right. A blue plastic object sits at the left edge. No people are visible. The poles appear to be silver procession items, possibly parts of a palanquin or ratha frame stored in a back room.Making Of Sacred Arts UniversityMaking Of Sacred Arts UniversityFebruary 23 20072007-02-23April 03 20182018-04-03Photograph of a ritual display on a royal blue cloth with a gold-bordered stripe. Silver ritual objects are arranged on the table: silver staffs or rods, a silver vessel with a spouted pouring lip and a white cloth or stone insert, a silver lamp stand, and silver feet or footwear pieces. Behind the table are dark stone or bronze figures and gold-coloured deity murti or crowns on a teal cloth. A person in an orange robe stands at the upper right, partly cropped. The setting looks like a temple workshop or storeroom, with bare walls and a metal shelf in the background.2016-02-23April 15 20182018-04-15May 13 20182018-05-13 +2 copiesMay 12 20182018-05-12April 18 20182018-04-18 +1 copiesClose-up photograph of an ornate silver trident (trishula) with elaborately engraved floral and scrollwork on its three prongs, mounted on a twisted silver shaft with turned knobs.
