A photograph of a festival procession with a deity murti seated on a red-draped palanquin under a large arch of white, yellow and red flower garlands. The murti wears an ornate crown, layered white and silver jewellery and a blue garment. Four men carry the palanquin from below, bare-chested with white ash markings on their foreheads and bodies, wearing rudraksha malas and white dhotis, two of them holding small brass vessels. Gold-coloured lamp stands and urns flank the foreground, with screens and a gilded temple structure behind.

Photo 82887232021-12-19A festival procession at night in which four men in white or bare-chested, with white and sandalwood-coloured forehead markings and rudraksha malas, carry a large deity murti on a wooden palanquin draped with thick red, pink, yellow and white flower garlands. The murti wears a gold crown and heavy gold necklaces and is dressed in a red and gold cloth. Red-gold ornamental panels and a gold ornamental stand stand behind. A banner in the bottom-left corner shows an orange-robed man with a shaved head and a bright smile, but his features are not clear enough for a confident identification.2022-01-20January 08 20172017-01-08Photo 82867652021-12-19 +1 copiesFebruary 19 20162016-02-19January 11 20172017-01-11January 11 20172017-01-11December 26 20152015-12-26November 17 20132013-11-17Photograph of a temple-style ceremony with two richly decorated deity murtis seated on golden-framed thrones heavy with marigold and rose garlands. The central murti wears a gold crown, jewelled necklaces and a red-and-gold sari. Two men in red and pink dhotis hold a canopy of blue and gold cloth over the murti. A third man in an orange turban stands to the right, and a seated priest in a dark red cloth with a rudraksha mala and white forehead marks sits at lower left beside an oil lamp. A purple-draped murti sits at left. Background is a gold arch with green drapery.2013-12-25A flower-decorated deity murti is carried in procession, its tall garland of red, yellow, purple and white blossoms and green leaves covering the figure. Several men surround the murti lifting and steadying it: a bare-chested man in white dhoti at right with a lanyard, a shaved-headed man in the centre-foreground wearing rudraksha beads, and bearded men with long hair and orange-red beaded necklaces. A white-haired man in the foreground grips the carrying poles. Trees and a canopy with fringed decorations frame the outdoor scene.2017-01-11January 11 20142014-01-11
