Close view of a ceremonial offering: a large silver tray with ornate engraving holds many gold-coloured rudraksha-style beads and ornaments, a few of which carry small printed photographs of a smiling saffron-robed figure. White flowers and green leaves are arranged among them, and a hand in an orange garment sorts or places the pieces. Smaller silver bowls sit at the edges of the tray. The scene reads as a puja or seva offering setting.2010-08-16March 04 20132013-03-04Close-up photograph of a pada puja offering: a pair of bare feet in brown tones rests on a tray with a flower and grass arrangement of yellow and pink blossoms. Orange cloth of a robed figure covers the upper part of the frame. Around the feet are heaps of gold-coloured ornate beads and small gold pendants, two of which carry small round framed photo medallions. Silver bowls holding sweet offerings, a bowl of kumkum-like coloured powder and rows of small glass cups with water sit on decorated silver and gold trays. Only the feet and robe are visible, with no faces shown.2010-08-06August 08 20102010-08-08 +1 copiesMarch 07 20132013-03-07August 02 20102010-08-02 +1 copiesClose view of a gold-embossed ritual table set with many silver bowls and trays holding flowers, orange and yellow sweets or offerings, and a silver kalasha-style vessel. Red, pink and white flowers, including hibiscus and jasmine, are heaped in the centre. A person in an orange and gold-bordered silk dhoti or garment stands at the left edge, and a man in a white polo shirt with hands joined in prayer sits behind the table, with another person in white at the upper right. The setting suggests a puja or abhishekam offering preparation.2013-07-08August 05 20102010-08-05September 12 20102010-09-12April 23 20132013-04-23 +2 copiesOctober 20 20132013-10-20 +1 copiesSeptember 15 20132013-09-15
