A man with long dark hair, a white forehead mark, a yellow bead garland and saffron-orange robes stands at left with his hand extended toward a small stone shrine. Inside the shrine sit dark stone deity murti adorned with green leaves, white flowers and red blossoms. At lower right, a shaven-headed man in orange robes kneels at the shrine, holding a small offering vessel, with a brass bell on the ground nearby. Behind a low railing, several people in white and orange clothing watch, and a photographer is visible. A blue-and-white pot-shaped finial sits atop the shrine structure.2008-08-02November 04 20132013-11-04June 03 20122012-06-03December 30 20082008-12-30September 30 20112011-09-30December 21 20112011-12-21Night photograph under a large banyan tree with hanging aerial roots. On the left, a standing man in an orange robe holds a lit oil lamp or flame in one hand and performs arati. Beside him on a red-draped stone pedestal sits a black stone deity murti with a tall orange turban, garlands of white and red flowers and a gold-trimmed orange cloth, and a smaller orange-clad seated figure with garlands in front of it. A brass kalasha or ornate lamp stand sits on a red cloth in the foreground. The scene is dimly lit with a dark background and a white-clad figure partly visible behind the performer.2006-12-10September 30 20112011-09-30
