A photograph taken from behind a standing man with long dark hair worn loose down his back, wrapped with a red-brown turban and adorned with a white and pink flower garland. He wears a rust-orange dhoti and gold armbands and bangles, and his right hand rests on the head of a golden deity murti wearing an ornate gold crown and a jeweled blue-and-gold garment. Beside him stands a second golden murti with a red tilak and red lips. Behind them is an elaborate gold-embossed arch draped with an orange cloth and surrounded by marigold and rose garlands in red, yellow and white. The scene appears to be a temple ritual before the deities.

A photo of a person seen from behind, with long dreadlocked black hair, wearing a rust-orange cloth and a red and white beaded mala draped over the shoulders, touching the forehead of a large golden metal deity murti. The murti wears a gold crown, jewelled necklaces and gold armour details, and stands before a backdrop of yellow, orange and white marigold garlands. A green leafy offering and a golden kalasha-like vessel sit in front. The setting appears to be a temple shrine during a puja or abhishekam.2016-07-19July 19 20162016-07-19December 14 20162016-12-14July 19 20162016-07-19A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange-brown sleeveless garment with an orange-beaded rudraksha mala at his neck and a gold bangle on his upper arm, reaching out with his right hand toward two golden metal deity murtis decorated with flower garlands and red roses. The murti on the right wears an ornate gold crown, large earrings, a nose ring and a white jasmine garland over a red and gold garment. The murti on the left wears a gold crown and a red-and-gold garment. Behind them are red roses, green foliage and a green cloth backdrop with a gold-framed canopy. The man is a physical person; the golden figures are statues and are not counted. The orange cues and mala suggest a person, so the in-person value is set to unsure given the uncertain appearance.2013-04-14July 09 20172017-07-09July 19 20162016-07-19 +1 copiesDecember 14 20162016-12-14A photo of a temple ritual at a gold-framed shrine.
