Photograph of a seated figure in a saffron-red garment with a bare upper back, wearing a thick green-bead necklace and rudraksha-style beads, holding a large gold vessel toward a group of devotees. Several women in white and red saris wear rudraksha malas and kumkum; one kneels with hands cupped and marigold garlands. Behind them stands a gilded shrine with decorated deity murti dressed in garlands, and flower-decorated altar elements. The scene resembles a naivedyam offering. A person in a white dhoti with a gold border sits at the lower right, shown from behind.

In the foreground, a figure in a rust-red robe with a yellow-green bead garland sits on the left, extending a hand toward a gold vessel. Several women in white saris and rudraksha malas, and a man in white with a red garland and rudraksha mala, stand in a close group receiving or offering items, with red and orange flower garlands and marigolds at the bottom of the frame. The scene suggests a puja or prasad offering, though the person in the red robe cannot be identified from the image, and there are no legible printed names beyond the copyright credit.2015-07-31July 31 20152015-07-31July 31 20152015-07-31July 31 20152015-07-31July 31 20152015-07-31Indoor ceremonial scene before a gilded throne with carved golden lion figures and a red-cushioned seat. A seated figure in saffron-orange turban and orange robe, wearing a marigold and red flower garland, sits at left facing a line of women in white saris with gold borders and red shawls; one standing woman holds a red fruit and a rudraksha mala. Brass oil lamps and a deity murti stand near the throne, with more devotees in white and orange saris along the red carpet at right. The seated figure has no visible long hair, crown or ceremonial gold necklace, so identity remains uncertain; roles are a seated presiding figure and devotees receiving darshan.2015-11-01A photograph of a seated man in a reddish-maroon dhoti and shawl, wearing a white garland and a rudraksha-style mala, sitting on a golden throne with a golden lion-form armrest and a tiger-striped cloth draped on the seat.
