A photograph of a smiling man with long dark hair and a short beard, wearing a maroon draped cloth and a pink and white flower garland, standing with palms pressed together in anjali mudra before large painted deity murti. Behind him, tall yellow-and-gold ornate statues wear yellow marigold garlands; one holds a trident-like staff and a lute-like instrument, and a lion figure and swan figures are visible at their base on a blue cloth. A tent ceiling and a digital clock showing 09:31 appear above. The scene suggests a puja before the murtis.

A photograph inside a canopied temple pavilion showing a man in a maroon-brown dhoti and wrap, with a pink and white flower garland, a gold waist ornament and gold armlets, standing with palms pressed together in namaste and looking up with a smile. Behind him are large decorated deity murtis with gold-embellished crowns, yellow marigold garlands and a swan figure, one holding a veena-like instrument. The man bears white vibhuti and a tilak on his forehead; his appearance is ceremonial with saffron-toned dress and rudraksha-style adornment, but his face and identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so he is described by role as a devotee performing puja before the murtis.2017-09-28 +1 copiesSeptember 28 20172017-09-28 +1 copiesSeptember 28 20172017-09-28A devotee in a dark red-brown dhoti-style wrap and a pink-and-white flower garland stands at left, holding a long ceremonial staff with a decorated tip toward large painted deity murtis. The central figure is a goddess with a lion mount beside her, and a second figure holds a veena. Yellow marigold garlands drape the statues, which wear ornate gold-and-yellow embroidered costumes and crowns, while swan and bird figures sit on a blue cloth at the base. A plain cloth canopy overhead. Two statues and the devotee are the visible figures, and a large portion of a third statue is at right.2017-09-28 +1 copiesOctober 08 20162016-10-08A photograph of a man in a rust-red sleeveless robe with a red and white floral garland, gold armbands and a gold pendant, standing with palms joined in namaste before a large ornately decorated deity murti with a golden crown, green-and-gold embellishments and a trident, holding a lit lamp or offering. Behind him are a white tent canopy, a pile of pink flower petals in a brass plate, and a framed portrait of a robed man with a red head covering. Several devotees stand at the lower left. A sign or portrait caption is not legible enough to name anyone. The man's appearance is not a qualifying presentation, so he is described by role only.2017-09-27September 28 20172017-09-28Photograph at night of a seated man in a silver ornate throne, wearing a pink and white floral garland, a bangle on his wrist, and reddish-orange clothing with a tiger-striped cloth draped over the seat. Beside him stand large yellow-painted deity murtis: a multi-armed goddess with a veena in one hand and a raised palm, and a figure in yellow with a crown and silver-striped drape. Colourful string lights glow in the background. The seated man's appearance is uncertain and cannot be confirmed as a person from the image alone.2017-09-28October 08 20162016-10-08A man in a reddish-brown dhoti and wrap stands beside a large painted deity murti of a yellow-faced goddess with multiple arms, black hair, a red garment and yellow marigold garlands. He wears a pink and white flower garland, a heavy gold necklace with a pendant, gold bangles and a white-and-red forehead mark. He holds a silver plate with pink flower petals and appears to be offering them near the lion mount beneath the figure. A lion head with an open mouth is at the base, and a multi-headed serpent backdrop stands behind on the left. The setting looks like a temple or festival pandal under a white canopy.2017-09-28 +1 copiesOctober 11 20132013-10-11September 28 20172017-09-28 +1 copies
