A photograph of a home shrine room with yellow walls and a red patterned rug, arranged for puja. Central is a large cutout portrait of a smiling man in a red-orange turban, rudraksha mala and orange garment, seated cross-legged on a gold throne draped in gold cloth, with a garland of white and multicolored flowers. Beside it stand two decorated deity murtis: a female figure in a pink sari and a blue-faced murti playing a flute in pink garments, both garlanded. Framed portraits hang on the walls. In the foreground are brass and silver puja trays with lamps, a kalasha-like brass bowl of flower petals, a kumkum dish, a bell and an open book on a side table. No people are physically present.2024-06-18KAILASA KULIM, MALAYSIA on 6/28/20212021-06-28A puja altar arranged in front of a large printed portrait of a smiling bearded man in a rust-red turban and reddish-orange robe with gold chain necklaces and bangles, his right hand raised in blessing. The portrait is labelled in print, so this is a depiction, not a person in the room. Below it sit a small golden murti dressed in red and gold garments, a gilded throne-like shrine with flowers, a fringed garland of yellow and magenta flowers draped across the portrait, brass lamp with a flame, steel bowls with food, a plate of sliced cucumber and lemon, an om symbol, and a pink and gold silk cloth covering the table. Background banners show a multi-headed deity figure and a banyan-tree scene. No physical people are visible.2021-03-24KAILASA DHUMBARAI, NEPAL on 6/26/20212021-06-26KAILASA KULIM, MALAYSIA on 6/29/20212021-06-29A photograph of a shrine table set up for puja with no physical people present.

The portrait is draped with marigold and yellow garlands. In front stands a small brass-coloured deity murti dressed in a red-and-gold garment with garlands, on a rudraksha-bead base. Flanking it are a gold throne-like chair with garlands, a gold kalasha-style vessel, a framed small photo, brass oil lamps, a platter of pink and yellow flowers, a small black pot, and a gold bust-like figure. A banyan-tree backdrop and a red-and-gold cloth complete the setting.2021-03-20KAILASA KULIM, MALAYSIA on 7/2/20212021-07-02KAILASA DHUMBARAI, NEPAL on 3/17/20212021-03-17A home shrine photo with a smiling person in an orange-red robe, a magenta turban with a crescent emblem, and layered orange marigold and rudraksha garlands, standing at a glass-topped altar. Framed portraits surround them, including a painted portrait on the wall above of a seated figure in a pink robe and crown on a throne, and a large black-backed print of a standing figure in saffron dhoti holding a trident. Brass deity murti, lamps, a bell, a lotus, flower garlands, and a leopard-print cloth decorate the table, with two brass lamp-holding figures in front. Whether the smiling person is a person cannot be determined from appearance alone, so this is unsure. The scene is a daily paduka puja offering.2021-03-20 +1 copiesPhotograph of a home temple altar with orange cloth covering the table. In front stands a gold-coloured metal murti of a deity couple with a yellow and pink garland draped over them, flanked by two smaller figures in red and pink. Brass plates hold kumkum, vibhuti and small cups, lamps are lit, and a gold-framed throne holds pink and white flowers in a bowl. A small deity image with a yellow garland sits at left. This shows ritual offerings of abhishekam and alankaram to the household murtis.2021-07-12A photograph of a home altar set up with a large printed portrait of a smiling bearded man in a dark red turban and orange-red robes, adorned with gold necklaces, rudraksha malas and a raised hand.

The portrait is a depiction, not a person physically present, and no people are visible in the scene.2021-03-05 +1 copiesPhoto 82863532022-09-05 +1 copies
