A photograph of a silver deity murti lying on a black cloth on the ground beneath a corrugated metal shelter. The silver figure is intricately engraved and appears to be broken into several pieces, including an arm and limbs, with a long staff across it. Two young men in rust-orange dhoti and shawl garments with dark rudraksha malas stand behind it looking down, one holding a small object in his hand. Behind them, several people in white and orange-red lanyard-style scarves watch, and a garland of flowers hangs on a pole at right. A plastic chair sits at left.

Two shaved-headed men in rust-orange dhoti-style wraps with gold borders and rudraksha malas stand behind it, one holding small objects in his hands and the other holding a stick-like item; neither wears the distinctive long hair or ornate attire of a candidate. Behind them a row of onlookers, some in red shawls and white lanyards, watches. A man in a white dhoti stands at left. Garlands hang from a pole at right. The silver figure has elaborate floral engraving, a long spear-like shaft across its torso, and several separated limbs and parts.2013-07-14July 14 20132013-07-14July 14 20132013-07-14 +1 copiesJuly 14 20132013-07-14July 14 20132013-07-14 +1 copiesJuly 14 20132013-07-14July 14 20132013-07-14 +1 copiesJuly 14 20132013-07-14A photograph inside a dim, unfinished hall with bare concrete block walls and overhead lights. In the centre, a man in a rust-orange dhoti and matching shawl wears a long red flower garland with gold-toned beads and a gold-studded belt, and he extends one hand over a large silver ceremonial object lying on an orange cloth, its carved heads and ornate silver panels arranged on the floor. To the left, a woman in a yellow and maroon sari stands with hands raised, beside a man in white dhoti with a rudraksha mala and a man in orange robes. Behind them, a woman in maroon sari stands near a floor rug and a standing fan, and at the right several people in white kurtas and orange lanyards watch. Brass vessels stand near the left edge. The man in orange with the red garland shows cues such as the flower garland and ornate gold-toned belt, but appearance alone is not sufficient to confirm identity, so he is described by role only.2013-09-04
