A photograph at a riverside town in the mountains, with a golden ornate arch framing a golden deity murti of Vishnu with four arms and a tall crown, flanked by two smaller golden figures in red garments. A person in an orange-saffron ribbed long-sleeved top, seen from behind with dark hair, raises a silver vessel toward the arch, apparently pouring liquid over the murti in an abhishekam-style offering. A second figure in orange stands at left edge. Behind them are wooden and blue-roofed houses, pine-covered slopes and a pebbled riverbank.

A photograph of a golden deity murti of Vishnu, standing four-armed under an ornate gold arch on a white stepped platform, with two smaller attendant figures in red garments beside him. In the foreground at left, a person in an orange robe with a dark head of hair lifts a small metal cup or vessel up toward the arch, apparently offering water or abhishekam. Behind them, multi-storey buildings with blue and green roofs, laundry on lines, and forested hills line a town street. A seated figure in white is visible at lower right near the steps.2006-05-27A figure in an orange-red robe and long dark hair pours liquid from a silver vessel over a golden deity murti of a four-armed standing deity with a tall crown and white dhoti, flanked by two smaller golden attendant figures in red garments beneath an ornate golden arch. Behind them are hillside buildings with blue roofs and a pine-covered slope, with a rocky riverbank in the foreground.2006-05-27A person in an orange-saffron robe pours water from a small silver vessel over a golden murti of a four-armed deity standing beneath an ornate gold arch. The deity holds a discus and a conch, wears a tall golden crown and a yellow dhoti, and flanks two smaller golden figures in red garments. The pouring suggests abhishekam at an outdoor riverside setting, with white stone steps and colourful buildings behind. The person's face is not visible, so no identification is made from appearance; the robe and action are the visible cues.2006-05-27A photograph of an outdoor abhishekam at Gangotri on the banks of the Ganga. A person in a saffron-orange robe, seen from behind and partly cropped at the left edge, pours water from raised hands over a gilded arched frame on a stone base. Within the arch stands a gold-coloured Vishnu-form deity murti with four arms, holding a discus and a conch, flanked by two smaller gilded attendant figures draped in red cloth. Behind them are white steps, a small blue doorway, pink and teal buildings and hanging laundry under a bright sky.2006-05-27May 27 20062006-05-27May 27 20062006-05-27May 27 20062006-05-27May 27 20062006-05-27May 27 20062006-05-27Photograph of a gilded deity murti standing in a golden arch on stone steps, with a figure in the foreground. A person in a rust-orange robe with a bare forearm reaches toward the central four-armed golden murti, whose hand rests on a round silver vessel held at the top of the figure's head. The murti wears a golden dhoti and a tall crown, holds a conch-like emblem and a lotus-shaped object, and stands between two smaller figures in red silk garments. Behind are pastel houses and a stone-paved area beside a river bank. A small white device sits at the base of the steps.2006-05-27A photograph of a figure in an orange-saffron robe pouring water from a silver vessel over a golden deity murti standing within an ornate golden arch. The deity has four arms, a crown, and a garland of beads and rudraksha-style malas around its neck. Two smaller golden attendant figures wear red draped cloth and stand on either side of the arch. Water splashes over the central figure. The setting is a stone-stepped riverside area with traditional multi-storey buildings, shops and forested hills behind. The figure pouring water has long dark hair and is partly cropped at the frame edge; their face is not visible enough to judge.2006-05-27A photograph of a figure in a long-sleeved orange-saffron robe, seen from behind on the left, extending the right arm to pour water or milk from a small vessel onto golden murti figures. Two gilded standing deity murtis stand beneath an ornate golden arch: the left one in a golden dhoti and jewellery, the right one draped in a red-orange sari. Behind them a white portable device sits on the steps. The setting is a rocky riverbank with stone steps and mountain-town buildings with corrugated roofs, a pack animal, and distant pedestrians, consistent with a Himalayan pilgrimage town. The figure's long dark hair is visible but the face is not, so identity is uncertain.2006-05-27
