A photograph of a ritual setting with a seated statue on a gold and red throne, wearing a maroon robe, a maroon turban, a dark embellished bodice, and a garland of white flowers with yellow, purple and red beads. Two women in maroon and rust-coloured clothing, one with hair in a bun and white forehead markings, lean over a low table with green leaves, flowers and small offerings, including a small figure in front of the statue. A gold lamp stand and a red and gold canopy are nearby. The scene appears to be a puja or darshan arrangement.

February 16 20222022-02-16A photograph of a shrine room with a life-size statue of a seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne, wearing red-orange robes, a red turban, a white garland and a ceremonial necklace, with painted dark skin. A woman in a rust-red sari performs a puja with a lit flame and offerings on banana leaves and brass plates in front of the statue. To the right, a woman in rust-red clothing and a rudraksha-style mala sits with palms pressed together in namaskar. Brass oil lamps stand on either side, a painted backdrop shows temple towers and a mountain, and a deity figure in blue with a garland appears behind. Framed pictures hang on the wall.2022-04-29A photograph of a puja before a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned back, draped in a red-brown robe with rudraksha-style beaded adornments and wearing a red-brown headwrap, garlanded with white and multicoloured flower malas. A woman in a rust-red sari sits cross-legged on the left, ringing a brass bell and holding a flame, with a small lit oil lamp and brass lamps nearby. A devotee in rust-red clothing on the right stands with palms pressed together in namaste. Offerings sit on a banana leaf with bowls and a small figure in front of the throne. Golden umbrella-like canopies with floral embroidery flank the throne, and a painted backdrop shows a hillside temple. The figure on the throne appears to be a person by appearance, with saffron-toned robes, rudraksha beads and a crown-like headwrap, though this is uncertain.2022-02-16September 19 20172017-09-19 +1 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +1 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +1 copiesMarch 14 20172017-03-14December 31 20152015-12-31A seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne receives ritual service. The central person wears an orange-and-gold garment, a long white and red flower garland, gold bangles, a red-and-gold beaded armband and a red tilak on the forehead, with a green parrot-shaped ornament on top of the head. Two attendants lean in: one on the left in a rust-red monastic robe with a shaved head and glasses, pouring or washing the feet over a steel bowl of yellow turmeric-like paste, and one on the right in an orange sari, scooping from a banana leaf. A steel bowl and leaf plate sit on the floor in front. The scene suggests a padapuja-style foot ritual, but the figure's identity cannot be established from appearance, so the central person is described by role only.2012-04-23 +2 copiesPhoto 11730602December 07 20162016-12-07December 31 20152015-12-31
