Photograph of a ritual scene with a large bowl filled with pink rose petals in the foreground, blurred. Behind it, a gilded throne-like seat (peetha) with an ornate golden canopy holds a deity murti or figure draped in orange and red garlands and a decorated cloth. On the left, a man in white dhoti and shawl with a red sash stands near a carved golden pillar. Brass oil lamps (deepa) flank the altar, and a red cloth covers a side table. The setting is dim and warm-lit.

Photograph of a ritual space with a red floor and red drapes inside a temple-like pavilion. At center, a decorated golden throne-like seat holds a figure in orange and gold garments with a garland. Brass bowls filled with red petals and offerings sit in the foreground, with a brass lamp and a silver-coloured bell nearby. A seated person in orange robes with rudraksha beads and a gold border sits at the right edge, and a woman in white sari with a shawl stands at left beside a carved stone pillar. Their faces are not visible enough to identify, and the central figure is a statue rather than a physical person.2016-05-24A photograph of a temple puja in progress on a red-carpeted floor. A standing man in a red dhoti and red shawl, wearing a long gold-beaded garland and gold armlets, holds a ritual implement and faces a richly decorated golden throne-like seat (peetha) on which a deity murti is placed, dressed in orange and blue garments and a crown-like head ornament. Small brass bowls of offerings and rose petals sit on a red cloth before the murti, and brass oil lamps (aarti lamps) stand on either side. In the background, a man and women in white and cream attire with folded hands join in worship, and a brass kalasha-style vessel sits on a red cloth before the altar.2016-05-24A photograph of a satsang stage in the dark, carpeted with scattered red flower petals. A golden ornate throne with a golden canopy sits at the back, where a seated figure in a red turban and red-and-maroon robes sits with hands resting. A gold trident stands beside the throne, a tall gold lamp stand with a bird finial stands at left, and a row of small clay lamps glows along the right edge. Two small pots and green foliage decorate the throne base, and a painted backdrop shows Earth from space with a dark silhouette. The seated figure is a devotee-in-attendance on the throne rather than a clearly identifiable individual, so the appearance cue is uncertain.2015-07-01 +1 copiesOctober 21 20152015-10-21 +1 copiesMay 24 20162016-05-24May 24 20162016-05-24May 24 20162016-05-24May 24 20162016-05-24October 21 20152015-10-21 +1 copiesOctober 21 20152015-10-21 +1 copiesOctober 21 20152015-10-21 +1 copiesA photograph inside a decorated tent with a red carpet and gold-trimmed pillars.
