A bare-chested man on the left with rudraksha malas and beaded bracelets holds out a small folded paper or card, and his hand is reaching toward an outstretched hand on the right, which wears gold bangles and a bracelet. Behind him stands another bare-chested man with rudraksha malas. The background shows a red velvet cushion, an ornate gold-carved throne or pedestal, a red cloth, and a small bottle. The visible men have no clearly distinctive presentation cues beyond malas, so the central figure cannot be confirmed as the a person from appearance.2016-09-28May 24 20182018-05-24A photograph of a ritual exchange at a golden throne. On the left, a man in white dhoti with a gold-edged cloth and a rudraksha mala hands small gold-coloured sheets to a second figure whose bare chest and mala are visible. On the right, a seated person in a brown-red garment with gold jewellery, bangles and a beaded necklace extends an open hand over a red velvet cushion draped with a brown towel. Behind them stand a gold ornamental panel, a gold pillar and red drapery.2016-09-28September 09 20162016-09-09February 13 20182018-02-13A close-up photograph of a ritual exchange beside a gilded throne. In the foreground, a priest with bare upper body and a wooden rudraksha mala holds out a small folded gold-coloured sheet with his fingers toward a woman seated on a red cushioned seat. She wears gold bangles, a gold necklace and a rust-coloured garment, and her forearm bears a red thread and a dark bracelet. Behind them, a second man in a white dhoti with a rudraksha mala holds a wooden fan-like implement, and an ornate gold panel rises in the background beside a red curtain. A blurred head is visible in the lower right corner.2016-09-28November 20 20162016-11-20A photograph of a seated figure on a gold and red throne receiving a small slip or leaf from an attendant at left. The seated person wears rust-brown robes, a heavy gold necklace and gold armlets, with red and black wrist threads and beaded bracelets. The attendant at left, partly visible, is bare-chested with brown rudraksha beads on his chest and wears white dhoti with an orange border. Behind them are a gold ornate throne back, a red velvet cushion, a gold staff, and red drapery. A small red bottle sits on the cushion. The identity of the seated person is uncertain from appearance alone.2016-09-28July 25 20172017-07-25 +1 copies
