A younger standing man in orange-red dhoti and shawl with gold border, bare-chested, with white sacred markings on his forehead and upper arm, holds a brass plate of red flower petals or offerings toward the seated figure. Behind them are tiered white sweets or offerings on a green-and-striped cloth, and a gilded frame. Two additional people are partly visible at the right edge, one in white. The scene resembles a ceremonial reception with offerings.2015-09-15September 17 20152015-09-17September 17 20152015-09-17April 28 20172017-04-28November 24 20152015-11-24A photograph of a ritual scene. A seated man on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion wears a saffron-red robe, a long rudraksha mala with large beads, a tilak on his forehead and a gold chain, and holds a handful of yellow turmeric or kumkum powder over a large silver bowl filled with the same yellow powder. Beside him, a younger attendant in orange-red robes with a gold-banded waist cloth, a rudraksha necklace and gold earrings leans in, offering a bundle of pink and yellow flowers. Orange and red fabric drapes the throne area and a green leaf lies on the table.2014-09-13September 17 20152015-09-17A seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne is offering sweet prasad from a large silver bowl to a kneeling attendant. The seated man wears a rust-red robe, a multi-strand rudraksha mala with a central bead cluster, and a white-and-red forehead marking; he sits before roses and a green palm backdrop. The kneeling attendant wears saffron-orange cloth and cupped hands, receiving the sweets with a bangle on his wrist. a person appears as the seated figure, identified by his rudraksha mala, rust-red robe and throne-seated role. The scene looks like a temple or ashram puja with prasad distribution.2014-09-13A seated man in saffron-orange robes and layered gold necklaces sits on an ornate gold-trimmed brown leather throne before maroon drapes, reaching to touch a decorated kalasha. Beside him a second man, bare-chested with a yellow shawl and white dhoti with a pink-and-gold border, leans forward holding the kalasha, which is covered in red, green and gold ornamentation with leaves on top. A gold lion-shaped figure stands by the throne and a folded red-orange cloth rests on the armrest. The setting suggests a ritual abhishekam or puja. The seated man shows a person cues: ornate gold necklaces, saffron clothing and a seated throne presence, described as a ritual figure in a ceremonial role.2015-09-17
