He wears a green silk dhoti and an orange-bordered shawl, with a rudraksha mala, a gold necklace, and beaded armbands, and a red tilak on his forehead. Behind him stand brass oil lamps and carved stone pillars. The idols wear pink and purple silk drapes, and a small yellow-robed figure is seen to the right. A bare-chested man with several malas adorns the shrine, while the background shows a yellow-draped altar, a kalasha, and brass vessels with offerings at the base.2011-12-23A photograph of a temple shrine decorated with thick garlands of marigolds and yellow flowers. A standing man in a purple dhoti and matching shawl with a red-and-gold border, wearing rudraksha malas and gold bracelets, smiles and raises his right hand in blessing before the shrine. Behind him stand two golden-hued deity murtis, one with a crown and orange cloth, the other in purple garments with a tall crown. In front, a purple-draped statue of a seated figure with a rudraksha mala is garlanded with purple and white flowers, and a brass oil lamp stands on either side of the platform. The scene reflects a pada-puja, with a pedestal draped in white cloth at left.2011-12-14December 17 20112011-12-17 +1 copiesA smiling man in a light blue dhoti and blue shawl with an orange border stands before a temple shrine, making a hand gesture with one hand and wearing beaded bracelets. Behind him, large golden deity murtis with crowns and trident-like attributes are framed by an arch of multicoloured marigold and garland festoons in purple, green, yellow and red. A smaller blue-draped figure sits in front of the arch, also garlanded, and brass oil lamps stand at the sides in a stone-pillared temple hall. The man's appearance, with his shoulder-length hair, bracelets and light blue clothing, is not sufficiently distinctive to confirm an identity, so he is described only by role.2011-12-17January 1st 2013December 13 20112011-12-13December 11 20112011-12-11 +1 copies
