At left, a man with long swept-back dark hair and a rudraksha mala sits on a wooden seat wearing an orange garment, with a red cushion behind him; the appearance cues are mixed and not sufficient for an identification, so he is described only by role. Women in orange and white saris and a woman in a yellow shawl hold lit oil lamps and silver aarti plates raised in front of them, and a bald man in a white dhoti sits at a brass tray laden with silver bowls and offerings. A man in white dhoti walks in the background past an open doorway, and a kalasha sits on a red-draped stand at right. The scene reads as an aarti offering before a seated figure.2010-10-30October 26 20102010-10-26 +1 copiesNovember 24 20102010-11-24September 17 20102010-09-17October 08 20102010-10-08December 21 20102010-12-21 +1 copiesNovember 13 20102010-11-13A photograph of a padapuja ceremony in an indoor hall with pink walls and red curtains. A seated figure on a golden throne-like seat with a gold swan finial is garlanded with white, yellow and red flower garlands and wears an orange garment. In front, devotees sit on the floor with hands folded in namaskar; a man in a purple shawl and a woman in a yellow shawl kneel near the golden tray. The tray holds small brass dishes of offerings, pink flowers, sliced fruit and apples. Other devotees in white and yellow clothes sit nearby, and a shaved-headed priest in white with a rudraksha mala sits behind the throne area. Rows of orange chairs and white-clad people are visible at the left.2010-10-12
