A photograph of a man in orange-red ritual clothing bowing with his forehead pressed against a deity murti heavily adorned with white jasmine garlands, red roses and purple globe-amaranth strands. His hands are pressed together in anjali mudra, and a white cloth and a small silver object are visible among the flowers. Sacred white markings appear on his forehead and upper arm. Another devotee is faintly visible at the lower right edge. The scene suggests a darshan or abhishekam moment before the deity.2010-07-21July 20 20102010-07-20Photo 11728673 +2 copiesJune 23 20172017-06-23 +1 copiesJuly 20 20102010-07-20April 30 20152015-04-30A photograph of a person with long, unkempt dark hair bowing forward in an orange garment, pressing their forehead and one hand against a grey stone lingam decorated with white and yellow marigold garlands and a red-and-yellow kumkum-marked base.
