In the foreground a man in saffron robes and a rudraksha mala rings a brass handbell. Behind him, saffron-clad devotees with folded hands stand beside a tray of pink petals, and a man in white holds a plate. Another person in white stands at left photographing, and red kumkum-coloured offerings cover the base.

He wears a beaded necklace and has long dark hair tied back, and he holds a small brass bell in one hand and a brass ritual vessel in the other, apparently performing a puja-style offering. Carved granite pillars and green foliage fill the background. Only one physical person is visible.2009-06-15December 24 20092009-12-24March 02 20112011-03-02June 15 20092009-06-15A seated man in a red sleeveless robe sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne in front of a black stone deity murti with four arms, draped in orange cloth and garlanded with white and red flowers. A microphone stands in front of him and a silver arch frames the scene; foliage fills the background and a rudraksha mala hangs at his neck. The man has short dark hair and a red forehead mark, and he is not shown with the long hair, crown or turban that would mark a distinctive cue, so the appearance is uncertain.2009-06-09
