A close photograph of a seated figure's feet on a gold-toned throne or peetha, the bare golden-brown foot wearing an ankle chain and white dhoti hem with gold border. Garlands of white, pink, yellow and green flowers drape the seat and the figure's legs, with loose pink and magenta petals scattered on the floor. A small dark bowl with white contents sits at left. The setting is a worship room with wooden flooring. The figure's face is not visible, so no identity is asserted here.

A photograph of a seated figure on a dark maroon cushioned throne, shown only from the knees down with bare feet resting on the cushion. The figure wears orange-saffron cloth draped over the legs and holds a bunch of red flowers. The throne is flanked by golden lion-form armrests and surrounded by white jasmine garlands with yellow and magenta flower strands below. To the right, a person in white traditional dhoti clothing stands with gold bangles on the wrist, holding a ritual implement, with a yellow garland beside them. Only the feet and lower legs of the seated figure are visible, so no identity can be confirmed from appearance.2006-12-30October 21 20062006-10-21May 20 20162016-05-20July 26 20172017-07-26July 31 20152015-07-31A small gold-coloured deity murti stands on a gold pedestal, draped in a gold sari and silver jewellery, dressed with a dense garland of white jasmine and yellow marigold strands and red and pink flowers.

Brass items including a bell, a steel bowl and a kalasha-like vessel sit at the base amid scattered petals and flowers, indicating a puja or abhishekam setting.2006-10-30Close photograph of a ritual scene dominated by a heap of pink and yellow flower petals spread across the lower frame. At the upper left, a bronze or metallic figure's bare foot rests on a sculpted base, with a purple flower garland and a yellow-orange garland draped nearby. At upper right, long white jasmine-style garlands with green leaves hang beside the petals. The image is blurred and no people are clearly visible, so this appears to be an abhishekam or padapuja offering of flowers at a murti.2006-10-21October 28 20062006-10-28Close-up photograph of a golden deity murti's bare foot and ankle on a wooden ratha or procession platform, decorated with a thick garland of white jasmine flowers, red roses or marigold-like blooms, and green leaves.
