The murti is dressed in blue with a red-and-gold crown or turban, and it is almost fully covered in garlands of yellow, red, white, green and purple flowers. Behind the murti is an ornate gold throne-like backdrop. A rudraksha-style necklace of beads hangs on the standing man's shoulders. A white wall-mounted air conditioner and a window with a standing fan appear behind him, and another person's blurred figure is visible at the window.2013-07-02February 23 20152015-02-23A photograph of a devotee in a saffron and gold dhoti with bare upper body and long dark hair, standing with palms pressed together in namaskar before a richly decorated deity murti seated on a golden throne. The murti wears a crown, blue garment and gold ornaments, and is draped in a garland of red, yellow, green, white and purple flowers. A gold sceptre-like object rests beside it, with offerings on a tray at the lower left. A wall fan, air conditioner and window sit in the background. The devotee has a rudraksha-style necklace and appears to be performing darshan or puja. Appearance-based identification is not established, so the devotee is described by role only.2013-07-02A photograph of a temple ritual outdoors under a corrugated metal roof. A person with a white forehead mark and a red and gold garland stands at left in an orange-red dhoti-style garment with gold-edged bands, hands folded, facing a festooned altar. On a red-draped platform stand three decorated deity murti figures, covered in gold ornaments, rudraksha-style necklaces, and flower garlands in red, yellow, white and purple, with gold crowns and a green backdrop. A small green-and-yellow cart and palm tree are visible behind. Possibly a person candidate at left, but the appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm.2014-11-26April 24 20132013-04-24A photograph of a decorated deity murti set within a golden arch framed by flower garlands in yellow, orange, purple, red and white. The murti wears a pink and maroon garment, a silver crown-like headdress, a necklace of pearls and ornaments, and holds a flower. In front stand brass oil lamps and a brass vessel. At left, a person in orange robes with a white head wrap and shawl stands with one hand extended toward the murti, apparently performing worship. No other physical people are clearly visible. The page excerpt names a person event, but no appearance-based candidate qualifies.2009-12-25July 22 20132013-07-22February 23 20152015-02-23
