A photograph of a golden statue of a robed figure in a red-and-gold turban and red-gold dhoti, wearing a layered beaded necklace, being garlanded with long strands of white jasmine and red roses. A shaved-head? No: a man seen from behind with long dark hair tied back, bare-shouldered in a maroon cloth with gold border, reaches up to drape the garland over the statue's shoulders. The statue stands on a red cloth-covered base beside a blue plastic chair, under a stone-pillared open hall, with a tray of offerings in the lower right corner.

The statue has its palms joined in a greeting gesture. Behind her a man in white clothing films with a handheld camera, another person in white stands at the right, and an open-sided structure with a red brick wall and trees forms the outdoor setting. Brass ornaments are visible at the lower right. The statue is a depiction, not a physical person.2014-06-12June 12 20142014-06-12June 12 20142014-06-12July 20 20182018-07-20A photo of a person in a rust-red turban with a jewelled crown-like band and a rust-brown shawl over bare shoulders, wearing a red and white garland and gold bangles, reaching up to adorn a deity murti decorated with white flower garlands, green leaves, yellow and red blossoms, a blue cloth and jewelled ornaments. A brass fire pit with a small flame and offerings sits at lower left, and a second person in white stands in the background.
