April 27 20202020-04-27December 13 20182018-12-13A silver-finished metal deity murti of a child-form Krishna-like figure, with a red and gold turban, bejewelled waist cloth and layered necklaces, stands on a red cushioned seat inside a garlanded shrine with red velvet and gold-trimmed frames, yellow and red marigold garlands and a hanging tassel of green, purple, red and white. A single person, seen from behind with a shaved-crown and tied hair, wears an orange cloth wrapped over the shoulder and a rudraksha-style necklace, standing before the shrine during ritual worship. A pink and purple cloth bundle and a metal vessel sit beside the shrine. The scene reads as a temple worship setting. No legible printed name appears on the scene itself.2021-07-23A photograph of a temple ritual in front of a deep maroon velvet backdrop. A shaved-headed priest seen from behind, wearing an orange turban, an orange cloth and a bare upper body, extends his arm toward a silver-coloured utsava murti seated on a swing-like palanquin. The murti wears a turban, ornate jewellery and a red cloth, and is draped with yellow and white marigold and red flower garlands. Behind it hangs an arched canopy with blue, gold and white embroidered borders and a tassel of red, orange, yellow, purple and white threads. A green-and-pink striped cloth and a yellow cushion rest on the palanquin's right side, and gold ornamental carving is visible at the left edge.2021-07-23December 16 20182018-12-16A young man in an orange turban and orange-red dhoti, bare-chested with rudraksha malas and a small pendant, stands beside a silver-toned deity murti decorated with a red and white garland and yellow flowers. He holds a lit oil lamp and a small bell in his hands. The murti stands on a decorated swing-like palanquin with red and white beaded frames, and a kalasha-like pot covered in cloth sits at the right. Ornate gold carved panels and red velvet drapes form the background.2021-07-23December 31 20192019-12-31A photograph of a figure in an orange saffron dhoti and shawl, bare-backed and wearing copper-toned bangles, performing an aarti before a small deity murti dressed with a gold crown and a red-and-gold garment. The murti sits on a red base and is framed by garlands of yellow and magenta flowers. Behind it hang maroon drapes, a golden wall with ornate panels, and a wooden swing bench draped in flowers. A lit oil lamp is held near the murti. The figure has long dreadlocked hair. a person is visible from appearance cues: long hair and saffron clothing with copper arm ornaments, though the figure is shown from behind. The photo is not a screen, so this is an in-person candidate, with appearance-based uncertainty.2020-01-01A devotee in a red-orange turban and draped red-and-gold dhoti stands at left, bare-backed, leaning forward to touch a ceremonial object draped in white cloth and heaped with yellow, orange and white marigold garlands. Behind it, a deity murti sits on a gilded throne-like seat framed by an ornate gold arch, wearing a crown, layered pearl and bead necklaces, a saffron shawl and draped in multicolour flower garlands of purple, red, yellow, orange and white. A tall brass oil lamp with a lit flame stands to the right beside a gold chair with red upholstery, against a dark red curtain.2015-06-02 +1 copiesA priest in a rust-orange turban with gold jewellery and a rudraksha-style red bead garland stands in a bare-shouldered orange-brown garment, raising a long white staff toward an ornately decorated deity murti seated on a gold throne. The murti wears a gold crown, an orange and green silk garment, elaborate white and jewelled ornaments, and is surrounded by thick garlands of red roses, yellow marigolds and green leaves. A deep maroon velvet curtain forms the backdrop. The scene appears to be a ceremonial coronation-style abhishekam or pattabhishekam before a murti.2015-04-28December 27 20192019-12-27April 26 20202020-04-26 +1 copies
