A photograph of a man in white kurta and white dhoti bending forward to pour marigold petals from a woven wicker basket over a heap of yellow flowers at the base of a richly decorated altar. The altar is framed by a large arc of garlands in yellow, orange, purple, red and white, with a gold ornamental backdrop above. Behind it a smiling woman in a pink head wrap and gold jewellery is seated among the flowers. A second person in a pink-bordered sari helps hold the basket from the left. This appears to be a flower offering or puja setting; the figure bending over is not clearly identifiable from appearance, so he is described by role only.

He wears a pink turban, a white shawl, rudraksha malas and layered gold necklaces, smiling broadly. Flower-filled wicker baskets are held up by people in the foreground, and a man in white kurta lifts a basket of petals beside him while a woman in a pink sari bends to the floor. A brass lamp stands at right against a stone wall.2013-01-06January 06 20132013-01-06January 06 20132013-01-06January 06 20132013-01-06January 06 20132013-01-06 +1 copiesA seated figure on a gilded throne is almost buried under heaped yellow marigold petals and white jasmine, smiling with eyes closed. He wears a multicoloured red, green, white and purple flower garland and a heavy gold beaded necklace over a pale cream garment, with a red tilak on his forehead. Behind the throne, a golden canopy hung with white and yellow garlands and a flower-decorated backdrop frame the scene. A man in white clothing lifts a woven basket to pour more petals over him, and to the right a robed attendant in saffron stands beside a water bottle. The scene resembles a petal shower honouring the seated figure. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long dark hair, a gold beaded necklace and garlands, matching the page's event context.2010-01-01
