A close-up of a large figure's head wearing a tall crown-like headdress built from densely strung brown rudraksha beads, topped with a gold crescent ornament. Below are ornate gold pendant and floral-shaped ornaments interspersed with rudraksha beads, and a white garment at the bottom edge. The right side shows a dark background with white and yellow flowers and a gold-trimmed white cloth. The figure appears to be a deity murti or decorated effigy rather than a person, and there is no clearly visible person in the frame.2020-04-30April 30 20202020-04-30 +1 copiesMay 01 20202020-05-01May 08 20202020-05-08April 14 20202020-04-14 +1 copiesApril 14 20202020-04-14 +1 copiesJuly 05 20202020-07-05 +1 copiesClose crop of a man's chest and neck, showing only his chin and upper torso. He wears dense layers of rudraksha beads in reddish-brown and several heavy gold ceremonial necklaces. One gold necklace has a large central pendant with a cobra hood above, a shrine-like panel holding small deity figures, a lower kalasha-shaped element, and pearls and red stones set in the gold. Gold rudraksha-cluster beads alternate along the strands. The figure is a body adornment detail, not a face-visible portrait. Appearance cues are limited to the adornments, so the identity of this person is uncertain.2019-12-15Photo 11728052 +2 copiesClose-up photo of a figure's torso adorned with a heavy ceremonial necklace of large textured rudraksha beads set with gold-toned floral caps and a central gold pendant depicting a deity shrine with a small arched niche. A wide band of smaller rudraksha beads with gold accents wraps the waist, with a red stone and white-stone pendant hanging at the centre. A gold ring with a carved face is on a hand at lower right, and a maroon cloth lies at left. Only the torso and hands are visible, so no face is shown and no person can be identified.2020-05-08April 07 20202020-04-07 +1 copiesClose-up photograph of a person's forehead and upper face, wearing an elaborate headdress of dense brown rudraksha beads strung in multiple tiers, interspersed with ornate gold lotus-shaped pieces and a gold central ornament depicting a deity figure. White ash marks and a dark tilak are visible on the forehead. Behind, two gilded deity murti figures stand before a backdrop of garlands in pink, red, yellow and white flowers, with a golden halo glow. The person's face is partly visible at the bottom edge. The main subject is the ceremonial head adornment and the garland-decorated murtis.2020-05-03
