A woman in a deep red sari with her hair tied back stands with her back to the camera, facing a rocky outcrop draped in a red cloth and garlanded with white and yellow flower strands. Behind the rock is a figure in a robe with a bearded face and a headdress, shaded by a golden and orange parasol with a second decorative umbrella above. To the right a tall golden trident is garlanded with white flowers and hung with small bells. The background is a green hillside under a clear blue sky with dry grass in the foreground.

Outdoors on a rocky hillside under a bright blue sky, a woman in a dark red saree stands at left with her back to the camera, facing a life-sized statue seated on a red-draped stone platform. The statue wears a gold-coloured crown, a dark ornate garment, and garlands of white and marigold flowers. Above it a yellow umbrella and a dark patterned umbrella shade the figure. At right a tall golden trident is wrapped with white flower garlands and small bells hang from it. Green shrubs and a forested mountain slope fill the background.2020-06-06June 06 20202020-06-06Photo 111873822020-06-05 +1 copiesMay 19 20082008-05-19Outdoor scene at a rocky hillside shrine. A framed portrait of a long-haired man in saffron robes, wearing a rudraksha mala and ceremonial necklace and garlanded with red and white flowers, sits on an orange-draped platform under a multicoloured canopy decorated with emblems and tassels. A palm frond stands beside it and flower garlands lie on the rocks in front. Two people approach: one in an orange shawl and white dhoti, and another in a white shirt and dark trousers. The portrait depicts a figure, so it is not a live person. a person identification is based on the printed portrait rather than any physical person present.2008-05-19A rocky, shrub-covered hillside in dry landscape under a pale cloudy sky. In the foreground, a flat stone holds a small framed portrait of a figure in orange-red clothing, shaded by a multicoloured parasol with a decorated fringe, with a garland of red and white flowers draped below and a brass lamp beside it. Pink flowers and a plate of offerings sit on a striped woven mat. To the right, a second framed portrait with an orange-red shrine canopy and a parasol stands among rocks, and a red flag with a black emblem flies from a bare tree. No people are visible.2008-05-19A photograph outdoors at a hillside shrine with a rocky, scrub-covered mountain behind. A man in an orange saffron dhoti and shawl stands at right, pouring water from a brass vessel over a large dark boulder, with water streaming down the rock. Green palm fronds and leafy trees fill the foreground. At right edge, a small shrine with colourful bunting and a framed picture of a figure is visible. The man is an appearance-based candidate for a person with only a few cues (orange clothing, a sannyasi-style wrap), so identity is uncertain.2008-05-19A photograph of a rocky, scrubby hillside in the background, with a man in an orange robe standing in the lower foreground, holding up a small tiered wooden structure toward the sky. Beside him stands a flagpole flying an orange banner with a small blue emblem, next to a decorated altar with a framed portrait of a deity garlanded with flowers and draped in orange cloth. A colourful patterned umbrella and a garlanded stone platform sit at left, with orange-red garlands hanging nearby. The setting is outdoors among bushes and rocks.2008-05-19A photograph of a shirtless man seen from behind, wearing an orange saffron dhoti and a shawl draped over one shoulder, a rudraksha mala around his neck, holding up a brass aarti lamp with a flame burning at its top. A large multicoloured umbrella with tassels and a blue-and-yellow emblem stands to the right, and a wooded hill fills the background under a pale sky. The scene appears to be an outdoor aarti at the base of a hill.2017-02-02 +1 copiesMay 19 20082008-05-19May 19 20082008-05-19May 19 20082008-05-19
