April 14 20132013-04-14A figure in an orange garment with long, dark, loose hair bends forward and rests a hand on a large gold-plated sacred vessel or kalasha-like object decorated with rudraksha malas and a gold-embroidered cloth. The vessel is draped with red and white roses and yellow marigold garlands and sits beneath a row of green-stoned golden ornaments. Gold bangles adorn the wrist. Blurred flowers and garlands fill the foreground. Swamiji (probable): the orange robe, long hair, and gold bangles are cues, and the page states Swamiji is present, so this person is the probable candidate performing the ritual.2012-01-01A priest in a rust-orange dhoti and matching shawl with a gold border stands at left, holding a green leaf over a golden kalasha-shaped vessel. A golden linga with a silver-and-gold trident emblem and a tall gold umbrella-shaped top is draped with red and white flower garlands. Behind it stand large golden deity murti with raised hands, a golden staff, and yellow silk cloth on a platform. Red and white garlands frame the scene.2013-04-14A person in an orange-red dhoti with a yellow border and a red-and-blue garland stands at the left with palms joined in anjali, smiling, with a white-and-red tilak on the forehead and gold bangles on the wrist. Before them a large deity murti and a golden shivalinga-like form are heavily adorned with multicolored flower garlands in red, yellow, purple and white, with gold ornaments and a gold kalasha-style base. Behind the garlanded figures, seated deities with crowns and gold jewellery occupy a golden shrine. The setting is a temple mandapa with a gold-painted arch. Two people partly visible at the left edge wear saffron and white. The person in front is identified only by appearance cues: an orange robe, a shaved-looking head with a tilak, and gold bracelets, which do not establish identity; treat as a devotee performing darshan and puja.2015-01-04 +1 copiesDecember 14 20162016-12-14 +1 copiesA photograph inside a temple shrine during a ritual.

A gold crown and gold jewellery adorn the figures. A man in a saffron-orange cloth stands at the left edge of the frame. The scene appears to be a temple puja or abhishekam in a shrine room.2015-01-04July 19 20162016-07-19December 14 20162016-12-14
