A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a red-gold border sits in a white-walled room, wearing a long garland of white flowers and red blossoms over a rudraksha mala and gold bangles on both arms. A red tilak marks the forehead and the eyes are closed. Beside him, a young attendant with a shaved head and orange robes holds a brass oil lamp with a visible flame, while a hand offers red petals over it. Another attendant in orange with rudraksha beads sits at left beside a wooden tray holding apples and sweets, and a tall silver staff stands nearby.

Indoor photo of a seated man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, wearing a long white and red flower garland, sitting in a small room with a window and curtains. Three young men in saffron-orange clothing and rudraksha malas attend him, one seated at left beside a wooden box of fruit and sweets, one at right near a television. Two devotees in white and orange reach forward to receive a lit oil lamp held near the seated man, in a pada puja setting with flowers and brass vessels. A framed portrait hangs on the upper left wall. Four people are visible, and a candidate matching the presentation is seated centrally, with distinctive garland and saffron cues, so the seated man is a person.2014-07-08A photograph inside a small home room with pink walls and a floral-patterned tile border. A person seated on a red-cushioned chair wears a red-and-saffron head wrap, saffron robe with gold border, a white and red flower garland and a rudraksha mala, smiling as devotees honour her. Beside her a shaved-headed young person in saffron garb with rudraksha beads holds a lit oil lamp for a pada puja. A man in white shirt and red shawl also reaches toward the lamp, while a devotee in the foreground holds hands in prayer. Flowers and fruit lie on a tray before the seat; a framed photo and a small deity murti sit on a wall shelf. The seated person is a devotee-hosted guest, but no appearance-based cues are strong enough to name a specific individual.2014-07-01July 04 20142014-07-04 +1 copiesJune 23 20142014-06-23 +2 copiesIndoor ritual scene in a home room with orange curtains, a carved wooden screen, and a garland-draped ceiling. A central figure in orange-red robes, with white flower garlands and rudraksha beads, sits on a chair holding a tall silver trident aloft while a flame burns near the garlands. Seated around them are young men in saffron robes and rudraksha malas, one in white dhoti, with brass and fruit offerings in wooden boxes on the floor. A man in white clothing reaches in from the foreground to offer the flame. A flower arrangement and a television stand at the right edge. The central figure has long hair, rudraksha malas and garlands, matching a possible a person depiction with a trident, but the face is not clear enough to confirm identity.2014-07-07 +1 copiesA seated figure in a rust-red and saffron-orange robe with a matching red turban and a white-and-red flower garland sits on a low seat in a plain whitewashed room with barred windows. A tall silver trident stands beside him, held by a young man in white dhoti and orange sash. Seated devotees in white, one an elderly man with a lit oil lamp, perform a puja; saffron-clad young attendants with rudraksha malas hold offering plates. Fruit baskets, bowls and a fan are nearby. The seated figure appears to be a person based on the distinctive ornate turban, rudraksha-adorned robe and garland; the trident and flowers mark a ritual worship scene.2014-07-01A seated person in saffron-orange robes and a red-and-white flower garland holding a silver trident aloft on a cushioned orange throne, with a red bindi and rudraksha beads.

Around her, several people in orange and white ritual clothes sit on the floor: a young man in white dhoti with a bare upper body and rudraksha beads, an older woman in an orange sari, and an older man in white shirt and dhoti who holds a flaming lamp over a brass plate. Brass vessels, fruit, and vases of orange and yellow lilies stand nearby, with bamboo blinds behind and a framed painting on the wall. A cameraman in the upper left records the scene. This appears to be a puja or aarti ceremony with a lamp offering.2014-07-10July 07 20142014-07-07 +1 copiesJuly 07 20142014-07-07 +1 copiesJune 23 20142014-06-23 +2 copiesJune 23 20132013-06-23 +2 copies
