A man in a white shirt and white trousers sits in profile beside an ornate gold-leafed carved shrine or throne, holding a small polished silver cup or bowl with both hands. He wears a dark rudraksha-style mala around his neck, thin-framed glasses, a gold wristwatch and gold rings. The background is plain white and pale wall. At the lower left edge, the orange-and-red garment of another seated figure is partly visible.

October 10 20102010-10-10January 13 20152015-01-13A photograph of a devotional padapuja-style ritual indoors. In the centre, an older man with grey hair, a red bindi and a rudraksha mala around his neck, wears a white shirt and holds a small silver cup with both hands while bowing forward. Beside him a young woman in a yellow shawl and a yellow-and-blue sari presses her palms together in prayer. Behind them, several people in white garments stand or sit, and in the foreground silver trays of flowers, fruit and offerings sit on a cloth. At the right, a seated figure in an orange robe is partly visible in front of a red cushioned gold-trimmed throne. The setting is a plain pink-walled hall.2010-09-19June 21 20172017-06-21November 20 20112011-11-20December 20 20092009-12-20A photograph of an older man with short grey hair and thin-framed glasses, wearing a white kurta-style shirt with an orange-saffron shawl draped over his shoulders and a metal wristwatch. He leans in from the side, lips near the wick of a small oil lamp held in a silver stand, lighting it at a golden shrine or altar with ornate gold-patterned carving and a red-topped structure above. A blurred painted backdrop and a flower arrangement appear at the top of the frame. He appears to be performing a lamp-lighting act of worship. Appearance cues are limited to a saffron shawl and white clothing, which are not distinctive enough to confirm identity.2012-07-09A photograph of a ritual scene indoors. In the centre, an older man with glasses and short grey hair, wearing a white shirt and a wristwatch, holds a small silver vessel in his right hand over a brass plate. At the left edge, a figure in saffron-orange robes is partly visible. Behind him, a younger man in white with a yellow shawl sits by a microphone stand, and a woman in a white sari with a yellow shawl sits beside him. A woman in a purple top with hands folded in namaskar sits in the upper background, and a brass plate of offerings rests on a red ledge. The scene suggests a puja or abhishekam in progress, with a green cloth drape behind.2009-12-06November 24 20112011-11-24December 02 20112011-12-02November 20 20112011-11-20December 20 20092009-12-20
