A photograph of a shrine at a temple-like outdoor pavilion with grey stone pillars. Two large deity murtis stand behind a seated white-clad figure on a white-draped seat, garlanded with marigolds; the figure wears a white cloth and a gold chain. In the foreground at right, a man with long dark hair wearing a saffron-orange sleeveless robe gestures with his right hand toward the shrine. Brass lamps, a kalasha and offering vessels sit on the stone platform, and a red curtain hangs at the right edge.

A photograph of a man in a sleeveless orange-saffron top with long dark hair standing at right in a stone-pillared temple shrine, looking toward the side. Inside the shrine are two deity murti, a dark blue figure with skeletal ornaments and an orange-robed figure with a gold crown, decorated with marigold garlands. A white-draped stone seat sits between them with brass pots, a kalasha and an oil lamp on the ledge. Red curtains hang at the back and trees show outside.2007-12-07December 07 20072007-12-07December 07 20072007-12-07December 07 20072007-12-07December 07 20072007-12-07A photograph of a shrine area with a large statue of a seated figure in white robes, adorned with white and orange garlands and a gold necklace, seated on a white throne in front of a red curtain. Behind it stand two painted deity murti figures, one in purple and blue clothing and one in orange, with ornate jewelry and raised arms. In the foreground at right, a person with long dark hair, a red bindi and an orange-saffron garment stands out of focus. Brass oil lamps, a kalasha-style vessel and offerings sit on the stone platform in front. The person in the foreground is blurred, so the photo does not establish a clear identity; the seated white figure is a statue or murti.2007-12-07A long-haired person in a red sleeveless top faces away from the camera, standing before a stone shrine lined with carved grey stone panels and a red curtain. Inside the shrine, a pair of deity murtis wear purple, red and gold garments, garlands of yellow marigolds and rudraksha-style necklaces. In front of them, a white-draped seat holds a white-clad figure, with brass oil lamps, kalasha-like vessels and a small plate of offerings on the ledge. A second person in orange stands at the left edge. The scene suggests a puja or darshan at a shrine.2007-12-07A man with long dark hair stands in front of a white stone shrine with red drapes. He wears an orange-red shawl draped over the shoulders and a bare upper chest. Behind him are painted deity murti figures, one in blue with a garland and one in orange with a garland, and a small decorated kalasha-style lamp stand on a red-draped ledge. The man is a single physical person; he is seen front-on, hands held together at the waist. Swamiji (probable) appearance cues include long swept-back hair and orange ceremonial shawl, so the candidate is standing in person at the shrine.2007-12-07December 07 20072007-12-07December 07 20072007-12-07December 07 20072007-12-07A photograph inside a stone temple pavilion with carved pillars and a red velvet drape. Two deity murtis stand on a white-draped platform, one with a green and orange crown and garlands, the other in red with a crown. A man with long dark hair in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl stands barefoot before the murtis, alongside a man in a yellow robe. In the foreground a second figure in orange robes bends toward the platform, with brass lamps, a kalasha and offering vessels arranged in front. A possible a person cue: the standing man has long swept-back hair and saffron ornate clothing, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone. The scene appears to be a puja or padapuja before the murtis.2007-08-09
