A photograph of a devotional reception inside a small room decorated with red and white flowers and a pink wall. A man seated on an orange-cushioned throne wears an orange-saffron robe, a multi-coloured flower garland, and a rudraksha mala, and he holds a trident (trishul) upright. Several devotees kneel or stand with palms pressed together in namaste, including women in white and cream saris and a young man in a white dhoti and shirt. A woman in a white sari holds a lit oil lamp (aarti) near a plate of red flowers, and a small framed photograph sits on a side table. A standing fan and a few onlookers in the foreground complete the scene.

A person seated on an orange cushioned seat at right wears a marigold and white flower garland, a maroon-orange garment, and a rudraksha mala, and holds a tall silver staff upright. Before him, a woman in a white and red sari holds a lit oil lamp in both hands, and a seated man in a cream kurta with glasses presses his palms together. Nearby, a young man in a white dhoti kneels with folded hands, and a standing young man in white with a rudraksha necklace holds his hands together. A crowd of women in saris and salwar kameez stands behind with palms joined, and a framed photo hangs on the wall. Scattered flower petals and a yellow flower lie on the floor in front of the seated figure.2014-07-04 +1 copiesA seated man in an orange-saffron robe with a red-and-white garland and a rudraksha mala holds a silver trident upright, while a devotee in a white-and-gold outfit with glasses kneels before a brass plate of offerings during a ritual. A bald priest in white dhoti and shawl with a mala stands behind, holding a small cloth bundle. Around them, women in saffron, white and red saris and gold jewellery stand and sit with hands folded in prayer; a young boy in a yellow checked shirt is visible at left. A small flame burns on the floor near a white-flowered arrangement and a fan, in a purple-walled room with an arched doorway and a framed picture. The man in saffron is consistent with the page's description of a person, but this appearance-based identification is uncertain.2014-07-04 +1 copiesJuly 04 20142014-07-04 +1 copiesJuly 03 20142014-07-03A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe and a long rudraksha-style garland of white, yellow and red flowers holds a silver trident upright in one hand and rests the other on a cushioned seat in a bright, plainly furnished room with a purple wall and a standing fan. Around him, a group of devotees in white and cream saris and dhotis stand with palms joined in namaskar, while a kneeling woman in white pours liquid from a vessel into a brass bowl placed on the floor. A young boy in white with a rudraksha mala stands beside a tray of red petals, and a woman in a pink sari holds a silver platter of red flowers. Fruit and flowers are arranged on a low table near the seat, and a framed photograph hangs on the upper left wall. The scene looks like a ritual abhishekam or puja within a home.2014-07-04 +1 copiesJuly 04 20142014-07-04 +1 copiesJuly 04 20142014-07-04 +1 copiesA seated man in an orange-saffron robe with a red-and-yellow shawl and a long garland of yellow and red flowers sits on a cushion, holding a tall silver trident. A rudraksha mala hangs around his neck. Around him, a family gathers in a small home room: children in casual and frock clothes, women in cream, white and light-blue saris with hands folded in prayer. A man in white dhoti kneels holding a flame lamp, while a woman in a white sari with a brown bead necklace extends her hands toward it. A bald man in saffron stands at the far right, and marigold and jasmine flowers lie on a cloth in front. A framed portrait and a deity image hang on the wall behind, with a garlanded picture above the doorway. The scene suggests a home puja visit.2014-06-27
