A photograph of a man standing in profile at left, palms pressed together in anjali mudra, in prayer before a decorated deity murti. He wears a rust-brown sleeveless cloth wrap with a yellow sash at the waist, a multicoloured flower garland with red and white blossoms around his neck, and has long dark hair falling down his back. He appears to be a devotee performing darshan or padapuja. The murti, adorned with yellow and red roses, white flowers, and strings of yellow beads, holds a trident and stands on a gilded golden throne decorated with orange marigold garlands. Red curtains hang in the background, and a second person in rust-brown clothing is partly visible at the far left edge.

A photograph of a shaved-headed? no — a woman with long dark hair pulled back stands with palms pressed together in namaste before a large deity murti adorned with dense garlands of red, orange, yellow and white flowers and a long bead mala. She wears an orange-brown sari with a gold border and a woven waist belt, and a red-and-white flower garland around her neck. The murti holds a trident and wears a crown, standing beside gold-edged altar decorations with orange marigold strands on the floor. Red curtains hang in the background. Scene suggests a devotee offering reverence in a temple setting. A faint purple bird logo sits in the upper left corner.2013-05-17May 17 20132013-05-17A photograph of a man in a saffron-orange sannyasi wrap with a yellow sash and a belt, standing with palms pressed together in namaskar before a large decorated deity murti.

The murti is covered in red, orange, yellow and white roses and marigolds, with green and yellow beaded garlands hanging from its shoulders and a trident in its hand. Behind him are red curtains and a partially visible person in orange robes at the left edge. The setting appears to be a devotional darshan or puja in an ashram hall.2013-05-17A photograph of a man in a brown sleeveless garment with a gold-bordered sash, standing with palms pressed together in namaskar while smiling and facing a decorated deity murti. He wears a bangle on his upper arm and a white-and-red flower garland. The murti is a golden metal figure wearing a tall gold crown with an orange headcloth, ornate jewellery and a necklace, flanked by a second golden figure in a teal cloth. Both are heavily draped in red roses, yellow marigolds, green leaves and white flowers, with a purple-and-gold cloth canopy above. The setting is a temple or shrine with a painted backdrop. The man's appearance does not clearly match the in-person cues required for the a person candidate, so this is a devotee standing in prayer before the murti.2012-04-23 +2 copiesMay 25 20132013-05-25 +2 copiesMay 25 20132013-05-25 +2 copiesMay 25 20132013-05-25May 27 20132013-05-27A photograph of a single person standing with palms pressed together in namaskar before a richly decorated deity murti.
