Photograph of a seated person in profile beside a decorated deity murti during a temple-style ceremony. The person wears a rust-orange turban with a jewelled ornament and a bare-shouldered orange garment, with a red and white flower garland and a gold armlet. Beside them, a deity murti in gold ornaments and a green silk cloth is draped in white and red-yellow flower garlands, with a golden staff and a crown-like headdress. Red velvet drapes form the backdrop, with gold ornamental elements in the foreground. Only one physical person is visible; the appearance is not clear enough to identify the person, so the role is described as a seated devotee beside the deity.

A photograph of a seated person in profile on the left, wearing a rust-orange turban decorated with a jewelled gold band, a rust-orange garment, a red and white flower garland, and a gold bangle. Beside them on the right, a pair of deity murti are seated on a throne-like altar draped with white, yellow and red flower garlands, with gold ornaments, jewelled decorations and a green cloth. One deity holds a long staff. The setting has deep red curtains and a gilded arch. The scene resembles a wedding ritual with murti of a divine couple decorated for worship.2015-04-30April 28 20152015-04-28Photo 11693998April 28 20152015-04-28April 28 20152015-04-28April 30 20152015-04-30 +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.2015-04-28April 28 20152015-04-28 +1 copiesPhoto 11694045April 28 20152015-04-28 +1 copiesNovember 17 20132013-11-17A photograph of a man in a rust-orange turban and matching orange-brown silk garment, wearing a thick red and white flower garland and gold armlets, waving a lit oil lamp in aarti before a seated ceremonial figure.
