A photograph of a seated figure in an ornate gilded throne with a cream floral upholstered back, dressed in orange-saffron cloth with a rudraksha mala around the neck, facing a kneeling boy in a checked short-sleeved shirt and khaki cargo shorts who is reaching up with both hands, holding a white cord or thread. Behind them is a golden arched shrine with a large deity murti of a four-armed figure in orange turban and pink-magenta dhoti beside a consort in blue and orange, both garlanded with marigolds, with a brass oil lamp to each side and a small blue-clad figure in an alcove. Red-topped offering tables hold fruit and a small brass vessel, and a bottle of water sits at the right. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and a warm smile, a cue consistent with the page's a person claim, though the appearance is only partly distinctive.

In front, a smiling man with long dark hair sits on a red-and-gold throne chair, wearing an orange robe and layered red, pink and white flower garlands. A man in a light blue t-shirt and dark trousers kneels barefoot at his feet, bowing and touching the orange cloth on a footstool, in what appears to be a honouring gesture. Oil lamps stand at the left edge, and flower petals scatter the stone platform. Orange drapes frame the pillared temple hall.2010-06-12Nighttime temple darshan scene before a shrine with a stone-carved arch and red drapes. Three deity murtis stand in the centre: a goddess with a trident and gold crown, flanked by a figure in green and gold, and garlands of purple and white flowers drape the shrine. A seated man in red and orange clothes, with long hair, a beard and a rudraksha mala and gold necklace, sits on a silver-covered red throne in front. Two people in orange robes, one bare-chested, attend him, one holding a white paper, and women in saris and kurtas in pink, white and orange stand at the right with heads bowed in devotion.

He wears an orange-saffron robe draped over his shoulder, a long rudraksha mala with a red tilak on his forehead, and has swept-back hair. A young girl in a white top and plaid skirt kneels before him on a white cloth with a fringed rug, her head bowed as he holds a cloth or garment near her. Behind him stands a shrine with a deity murti in blue and a colourful decorated backdrop with floral garlands, a brass lamp and a table of offerings including water bottles. The setting suggests darshan, with an adult's hand visible at the right edge.2011-07-08September 24 20172017-09-24 +1 copiesA temple shrine with gold-framed arch and orange-red drape behind two large deity murtis with multiple arms and crowns, one holding a trident, the central figure adorned with red and white garlands. A seated priest in reddish-orange cloth with sandalwood markings on his arms and chest sits in anjali mudra at the lower left, facing the altar. Brass oil lamps, a kalasha, plates and bowls of offerings sit on the platform, along with a red-garlanded object on a white cloth. At right, a green-backed niche holds a standing statue of a man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala, which is a statue and not a live person, so no a person candidate is visible in person. The scene is a puja at the shrine.2013-03-30
