December 14 20162016-12-14December 14 20162016-12-14A shaved-headed priest stands on a wet platform at an outdoor event, bare-chested and wearing an orange dhoti with maroon borders, with a rudraksha mala around his neck and white sacred markings on his arms. He pours yellow liquid from a brass kalasha over a golden bronze deity murti of a standing figure, which is adorned with a pink-and-purple flower garland and a gold dhoti. Yellow spray flies around the murti. A large carved stone lotus basin rises behind. Other orange-clad men are visible in the blurred background, and a stone pedestal supports the murti. The ritual appears to be abhishekam.2016-11-26 +1 copiesNovember 26 20162016-11-26 +1 copiesOutdoor abhishekam at a temple: two bare-chested priests in orange-red and white dhotis pour liquid from a brass pot over a small golden standing metal murti of a sage or devotee figure, with yellow liquid streaming down it. Behind them are rows of dark stone sculptures of animals and figures on a red brick wall, and a large polished black stone base stands at right. Brass vessels and a steel bucket sit on a red-and-white platform. No visible person is identifiable as a person; the pictured people are priests performing the ritual.2016-10-31February 23 20072007-02-23July 31 20172017-07-31December 19 20102010-12-19December 14 20162016-12-14December 19 20102010-12-19December 14 20162016-12-14November 11 20162016-11-11 +1 copies
