A four-panel collage with the handwritten words "SO" at top and "CUTE" at bottom. Each panel shows a dark stone naga-hooded deity murti with a golden arched backdrop and a pink lotus pedestal. In the three left and upper-right panels, a young woman in an orange blouse and orange skirt performs worship: she pours liquid over the murti's hood, lights an oil lamp, and holds a vessel. The bottom-right panel shows the murti dressed in saffron cloth with white flower garlands and a silver face mask-like ornament, surrounded by white frangipani flowers. Timestamps reading Jun 12, 2025 appear on some panels. No physical people are shown as the collage itself, apart from the woman depicted within the photographs.

KAILASA RAJAPALAYAM On 3/8/2025

A four-panel collage of a temple abhishekam to a black stone deity murti, labelled METROPOLIS 01/17/2025. In the top-left panel a young girl in an orange blouse and orange skirt pours liquid from a pot over the murti's head. The top-right panel shows the liquid streaming down the head and shoulders while the deity wears a brown-gold draped cloth with a yellow waist sash. The bottom-left panel shows the girl in orange holding a brass plate with a small lamp before the murti. The bottom-right panel shows the adorned deity with a white and red tilak, ornate gold and jewelled necklaces, and a blue cloth with gold embroidery against a green backdrop. The deity has multiple arms and a tall crown, and the figure is a murti, not a living person.

A photograph of a young girl in an orange bandhani-patterned salwar kameez standing in a temple shrine, carrying a brass plate with a lit oil lamp in her right hand. Behind her a dark stone deity murti in orange and red drapery stands on a black pedestal, flanked by gilded arches, and a pink lotus-petal base lies beneath it. A small brass bowl sits on the ledge. The image carries a timestamp and location stamp, which are not part of the description.

A young person with hair tied in a bun and white ash markings on the arms and upper back pours liquid from a small metal vessel over a black stone lingam pillar in an outdoor courtyard. The person wears an orange-saffron cloth wrapped around the waist and drapes, with a rudraksha-style bead necklace, and stands barefoot on a metal plate. The black pillar carries a carved relief of a deity form, set on a stone pedestal beside a large tree trunk. Behind is a yellow and purple striped cloth fence, a red metal container structure, and a steel vessel of water on the left. The scene reads as an abhishekam ritual at a shrine.

A photograph inside a bare, pale-walled hall with a concrete floor. A young woman with a braid, wearing an orange blouse and skirt with gold border, a red-orange shawl draped over her shoulder and a rudraksha mala with a pendant, stands at right holding a brass plate with a small lamp or offering and a handbell in her other hand. In front of her is a row of dark stone deity murti figures and carved backing slabs set on a black stone base, with a small brass bowl of offerings at its edge. A wooden chair and a double door are visible in the background. A timestamp reads 07-Jun-2025 10:52:33 AM.

A four-panel collage of a temple abhishekam to a black stone deity murti. Two girls in orange-red dresses pour liquid from copper vessels over a dark stone murti with a tall crown, red tilak and a draped orange-gold cloth; one panel shows a girl holding a lit oil lamp on a brass plate before the same murti. A gold-painted arch frames the shrine, and a green backdrop appears in the lower panels. Timestamps read 11:18 am on 17 January 2025 and the location text reads Kothainatchiarpuram Road. The collage shows pictured rituals, while the people shown are the girls in the individual panels.

A photograph inside a shrine showing a shirtless young priest in an orange dhoti and orange upper cloth pouring water from a golden vessel over a black stone deity murti. The murti has multiple arms and a tall crown, and stands within an ornate gold-leaf arch with carved foliage and a gold ceiling. A small bronze standing deity figure stands in front of the black murti. The scene appears to be an abhishekam ritual bathing the deity.

Outdoor photo of an abhishekam at a small open-air shrine beside a large tree. A young person with hair tied up in a bun, bare-chested and wearing a rudraksha mala, wraps orange cloth around the lower body and pours liquid from a brass vessel over a black stone Lingodbhava murti in a gold-tinted tall column form. A metal pot, a brass bowl, a stone bull figure at the lower left and a tray of fruit and offerings sit nearby. Orange and purple cloth draping and a rusted rebar fence enclose the area, with a shipping-container-style structure behind. Timestamp 15/09/2024 17:47 at lower right.

A photograph of a shrine interior. In the foreground, a young person in orange robes and an orange head wrap, with white ash markings on the arms and a dark bead necklace, holds a lit lamp or flame to a black stone lingam on a black yoni-shaped base. A small green leaf lies on the base. Behind the lingam stands a gold-coloured seated statue of a figure with a turban and raised hand in blessing, set within an ornate gold arch. A small gold pyramid-shaped yantra sits in the lower foreground. The walls are pale grey stone.

A young woman in an orange top and orange-red skirt with a gold border leans over a gold-coloured metal murti of a multi-armed standing deity on a wooden platform against a plain white wall, holding a small lamp or flame near the figure while a large grey metal vessel of liquid sits on the wet floor in front. A red-banded arm and bare feet are visible; she wears a dark braid and a red bindi-style mark. Water covers the floor. The photo carries a timestamp and caption overlay.

A young shirtless boy in saffron-orange dhoti and cloth with gold-embroidered waistband and a rudraksha mala stands at left, lighting an oil lamp with a flame before a deity murti dressed in red silk and silver crown with white jasmine garlands. Sacred white markings are on his arms and chest. Rows of red flowers sit on a dark stone stand in front, with brass lamps and a small garlanded deity figure below. The setting is a granite-walled shrine. Appears to be a puja or aarti at a temple shrine.
