A figure seated on a red-draped throne is framed by a flower arch of yellow marigolds, red roses and white garlands with blue and white accents. The seated figure wears a red robe, a tall ornate crown with a crescent, layered gold and silver necklaces, a rudraksha-style mala, gold armlets and bangles, and holds a staff in one hand. A standing attendant in saffron-orange cloth with rudraksha beads, bare-shouldered, reaches toward the figure with an offering vessel. The scene is set between ornate gold-carved pillars with a patterned backdrop. The seated figure's facial appearance is not distinguishable enough to confirm an identity, so the a person candidate is not established.

December 31 20182018-12-31 +1 copiesA priest in an orange-red turban and rust-orange dhoti with a gold-bordered waist cloth stands at left, reaching toward an ornate deity murti decorated with gold jewellery, rudraksha-style beads and necklaces. The murti is framed by a dense backdrop of garlands in red, yellow, white and green flowers. In front, a wooden platform holds a silver-and-bead decorated footwear-like object wrapped in white flower garlands, with brass vessels and scattered petals on the floor. The setting appears to be a temple shrine during puja, with a brass lamp stand and offerings visible. No person is clearly identified as a person from the visible appearance.2014-12-05December 19 20162016-12-19A priest in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, seen from behind with bare upper back and rudraksha-style beaded cord, performs aarti with oil lamps before a richly decorated seated figure. The seated figure wears a red robe, a red and gold crown, layered gold necklaces and ornaments, and is framed by garlands of yellow marigolds and red-and-white flower strands. Ornately carved golden pillars with lion motifs flank the shrine, and a patterned gold backdrop surrounds the scene. The seated figure is a decorated murti in ceremonial dress rather than a clearly identifiable person, so the appearance-based label does not apply.2018-12-31January 1st 2013A temple ritual scene where a priest in a saffron-red turban and red-orange dhoti, bare-shouldered and wearing a gold bracelet, reaches up to adorn a large deity murti. The murti is draped in a dense garland of white, yellow, pink and magenta flowers with green leaves, and a gold face with red lips and a crown is visible at the upper right. Gold necklaces, rudraksha-like beads and green-jeweled ornaments hang from the figure's chest. Another person in red garments stands at left, and a metal vessel is held nearby.2014-12-05December 19 20162016-12-19 +1 copiesJuly 31 20152015-07-31July 31 20152015-07-31Photo of a seated sannyasi during a ritual before a shrine decorated with marigold and rose garlands in yellow, red, orange, and purple. He has a tall black hair bun wrapped in a white cloth, a white tilak, a gold necklace, a rudraksha mala, and an orange-red garment, with his hands resting on a flower-covered surface. Behind him stand figures in saffron and orange drapes wearing gold ornaments, one raising a hand in blessing, plus a bronze crown-like figure and a metal vessel on the left. The scene looks like an abhishekam or puja setting with offerings of fruit, flowers, and white powder.2016-03-07February 20 20162016-02-20 +1 copiesFebruary 09 20122012-02-09
