A man in a rust-red ochre robe stands at right on a striped woven mat, throwing pink flower petals with one raised hand toward a row of small brass oil lamps set on the floor in front. He wears a long white and multicolour garland, a gold necklace and rudraksha beads. Behind him a granite wall holds a deity murti decorated with gold ornaments, a purple cloth and garlands, flanked by brass lamps and kalasha-type vessels. Petals scatter across the floor in a temple-like shrine setting.

Behind him is a deity murti decorated with garlands and gold ornaments. A second priest, bare-chested with a white dhoti edged in gold, stands at right beside a tray of offerings.

The lamps are brass or gold with dark tops, scattered with pink petals in rows. He wears a long white and multicoloured flower garland, a gold necklace, a rudraksha-style mala, and a sacred mark on his forehead. Behind him is a gold-draped shrine with a seated deity murti decorated with garlands and brass lamp stands, and a grey stone plinth carved with floral motifs.2017-05-26May 24 20172017-05-24A man in a rust-red robe with a long white and yellow flower garland and a rudraksha mala stands in a temple room, scattering pink flower petals from his raised right hand over rows of small golden framed deity images and gold pyramid-shaped stands on a striped cloth. Stone carved wall panels and a brass lamp stand are behind him. A purple circular logo appears in the lower left. Dress and ornaments mark him as a senior ritual figure performing puja, though the printed caption supplies the name, not his face.2017-05-24A man in a rust-red robe stands barefoot on a striped rug, wearing a long white and yellow-flower garland, a rudraksha-style mala and a gold pendant, with a red tilak on his forehead. He is scattering pink flower petals with his right hand near a stone niche. In front of him is a neat array of framed portrait plaques with gold pyramid bases, arranged in rows on the rug. A second person in white dhoti stands at the right edge holding a tray of pink petals. The setting appears to be a temple or shrine with carved stone walls and a brass lamp stand at left. The man's appearance is consistent with the a person candidate cues (garland, mala, gold pendant, ochre robe), but the face is not clearly visible, so identity is uncertain.2017-05-24
