A photograph taken at night in front of a black stone deity murti, a Shiva-form figure with a white tilak on the forehead, draped in white and red cloth and multiple rudraksha malas, with a trident leaning against the pedestal. Red and yellow marigold garlands hang from the statue. A standing man stands at left, wearing a leopard-print top and orange cloth wrap, a red and yellow flower garland, white tilak marks on the forehead, and an orange-wrapped sash, with one hand resting near the statue. Lit oil lamp sits on the pedestal, and iron tridents lie on a wooden board in the foreground.

A night-time photograph of a person standing beside a large black stone statue of a deity with a trident, framed by a circular halo carving. The statue wears a white and maroon draped garment, a rudraksha mala and red-and-yellow marigold garlands, with a small oil lamp lit at its base and red petals scattered on the ground. The standing person has long dark hair, a white tilak on the forehead, red and yellow flower garlands, a leopard-print top and an orange-brown wrap, with gold armband ornament. Three long iron trishul-like rods lie on the floor in the foreground. The scene is a temple or shrine courtyard with orange walls and a metal gate.2013-03-02 +1 copiesMarch 02 20132013-03-02 +1 copiesMarch 02 20132013-03-02 +1 copiesMarch 02 20132013-03-02 +1 copiesMarch 02 20132013-03-02 +1 copiesMarch 02 20132013-03-02 +1 copiesMarch 02 20132013-03-02 +1 copiesMarch 02 20132013-03-02 +1 copiesNight-time outdoor scene at a shrine. A standing person on the left, wearing an orange saffron-toned wrap over a leopard-print patterned top, a long dark braid, red-and-yellow flower garlands and white forehead markings, holds an offering and looks up at a large dark stone deity murti with a trident and a circular halo-like backdrop. The murti wears a white and red-bordered garment, rudraksha malas and red-yellow garlands. A small oil lamp burns on the base and red petals are scattered; a curved metal implement with yellow fruit sits in the foreground. The person is clearly a devotee or sannyasi; no appearance-based a person cues are clear enough to identify anyone.2013-03-02 +1 copiesMarch 02 20132013-03-02 +1 copiesMarch 02 20132013-03-02 +1 copiesMarch 02 20132013-03-02
