A photograph of a temple-like shrine with bright pink, green and blue painted pillars and arches. A seated figure in an orange-red robe and a beaded rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold throne with a tiger-striped cushion, raising one hand in greeting. The seated figure has a short-cropped head, not long hair or a crown, so the appearance cue is not distinctive enough to name him. In the foreground, a bald attendant in an orange-red robe raises a tiered brass aarti lamp with burning flames toward the throne. A woman in a white sari with a coloured border sits to the right of the throne, near a brass lamp stand and small offerings, and hanging brass bells and oil lamps are suspended above.

In the centre, a seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a long beaded mala sits on a gold throne, arms extended, with a large multi-tiered oil lamp aarti burning in front of him. In the foreground a shaved-headed man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala holds up a silver aarti plate toward the throne, while a woman in orange sits to the right of the throne and another woman in orange sits at left near a microphone. Brass lamp stands line the sides of the hall. The seated figure's appearance matches a person by the saffron clothing, long beaded mala and throne, and he is in person in the scene.2013-03-07A seated man in saffron-orange robes, rudraksha mala and ornate gold necklace sits on a gold throne with red cushions, a tilak on his forehead, smiling as devotees attend. In the foreground a shaved-headed monk in a rust-red robe raises his hands in reverence, while a woman in orange sits to the right of the throne and another monk kneels nearby. Tall gold oil lamps and a multi-tiered lit lamp stand flank the scene; the polished floor reflects the throne. The walls are painted in pink, green and yellow with a decorated doorway framing the throne, and dangling rudraksha strands hang behind it. The scene suggests a padapuja setting, as the page describes, but ritual details are not clearly visible beyond the lamps and reverence.2013-02-21March 30 20132013-03-30March 07 20132013-03-07A priest in an orange dhoti and bare chest holds up a tall silver multi-tiered aarti lamp with many flames toward a seated figure on an ornate gold throne in a brightly painted temple hall. The seated figure wears orange robes, a rudraksha mala and a white forehead mark, with hands resting on the arm of the throne. Two women in orange and maroon sit on the floor to the throne's right, and a third person sits behind on the left. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides of the doorway, and string lights glow behind the throne. The walls are blue, pink and green with painted pillars and deity carvings. The seated figure's face is not clearly visible, so identity is uncertain.2013-03-07February 26 20132013-02-26 +1 copiesFebruary 26 20132013-02-26 +1 copiesFebruary 21 20132013-02-21A photograph inside a brightly painted temple shrine with pastel blue walls and pink, green and orange ornamental mouldings.

A man in orange garments in the foreground holds a tall multi-tiered lamp of lit flames aloft, while two attendants in orange and white sit near the base of the throne with a brass lamp burning at the right. Brass oil lamps stand on either side and a small puja setup rests on the floor at left.2013-03-08
