A photograph of a figure in an orange-saffron robe and orange shawl, with long dark wavy hair, raising a silver vessel above a golden deity murti on a golden arch-shaped frame at a riverside shrine. Two golden deity figures stand on the platform: one four-armed with a club-like raised hand, the other in a red-and-gold sari. A white speaker box sits on the steps. Behind is a stony riverbank, wooden and painted buildings and pine-covered hills. A second person in orange robes stands partly visible at left, and a woman in a denim jacket walks at lower right.

May 27 20062006-05-27May 27 20062006-05-27A photograph at a riverside town in the mountains, with a golden ornate arch framing a golden deity murti of Vishnu with four arms and a tall crown, flanked by two smaller golden figures in red garments. A person in an orange-saffron ribbed long-sleeved top, seen from behind with dark hair, raises a silver vessel toward the arch, apparently pouring liquid over the murti in an abhishekam-style offering. A second figure in orange stands at left edge. Behind them are wooden and blue-roofed houses, pine-covered slopes and a pebbled riverbank.2006-05-27May 27 20062006-05-27May 27 20062006-05-27May 27 20062006-05-27A photograph of a figure in a long-sleeved orange-saffron robe, seen from behind on the left, extending the right arm to pour water or milk from a small vessel onto golden murti figures. Two gilded standing deity murtis stand beneath an ornate golden arch: the left one in a golden dhoti and jewellery, the right one draped in a red-orange sari. Behind them a white portable device sits on the steps. The setting is a rocky riverbank with stone steps and mountain-town buildings with corrugated roofs, a pack animal, and distant pedestrians, consistent with a Himalayan pilgrimage town. The figure's long dark hair is visible but the face is not, so identity is uncertain.2006-05-27May 27 20062006-05-27A photograph of a figure in an orange-saffron robe pouring water from a silver vessel over a golden deity murti standing within an ornate golden arch. The deity has four arms, a crown, and a garland of beads and rudraksha-style malas around its neck. Two smaller golden attendant figures wear red draped cloth and stand on either side of the arch. Water splashes over the central figure. The setting is a stone-stepped riverside area with traditional multi-storey buildings, shops and forested hills behind. The figure pouring water has long dark hair and is partly cropped at the frame edge; their face is not visible enough to judge.2006-05-27May 27 20062006-05-27May 27 20062006-05-27A photograph of a golden deity murti of Vishnu, standing four-armed under an ornate gold arch on a white stepped platform, with two smaller attendant figures in red garments beside him. In the foreground at left, a person in an orange robe with a dark head of hair lifts a small metal cup or vessel up toward the arch, apparently offering water or abhishekam. Behind them, multi-storey buildings with blue and green roofs, laundry on lines, and forested hills line a town street. A seated figure in white is visible at lower right near the steps.2006-05-27
