A man in a rust-red turban with a gold crown ornament, long dark hair, gold armlets and a rust-coloured dhoti and shawl stands at right, arranging a long garland of yellow, red and white marigold-style flowers draped over a gold-coloured deity murti. Behind him stands a second person in rust-orange clothing with long hair. The gold deity figure has raised hands and wears a rich garland, with a gold kalasha-like vessel and a lit oil lamp at right. The room has warm lighting and wooden architecture. The page's flag note does not establish identity; the man's presentation is only partly visible, with a turban and gold ornaments rather than distinctive long swept hair, rudraksha or saffron-only dress, so the appearance is uncertain.2016-12-14A man with long swept-back dark hair piled high on his head, wearing a rudraksha-style gold necklace, gold ornaments and a rust-coloured garment, sits on a red cushioned throne-like seat. He is smiling with eyes closed, surrounded by a dense garland of yellow marigolds, red roses, white flowers and green leaves. Behind him a golden ornate backdrop is visible, and in the foreground a basket of white offerings is held near his lap.2016-07-19April 20 20182018-04-20Side profile photograph of a smiling man with eyes closed, wearing a large dark twisted turban and a thick white jasmine garland mixed with red roses and pink flowers around his neck. He wears gold earrings and a red-and-white tilak on his forehead. Behind him stands a wall of yellow marigold and red flower garlands on a golden backdrop. He appears to be receiving a garland during a garlanding honour. a person: long dark turban-style hair and ornate garlands fit a candidate, but the face is partly turned and the cues are only moderately distinctive, so the identity is uncertain.2016-07-19April 14 20182018-04-14A man with a tall dreadlocked turban and bare torso, wearing a rust-red dhoti and a long garland of white and red flower beads, bends forward to adjust a large floral garland of yellow marigolds and red roses decorating a golden structure. He wears gold bangles, a gold armlet and ornate gold necklaces, with a sacred ash mark on his forehead. A gold lamp stand is visible at the left edge. a person: the figure has long swept-back hair in a turban, a red garment and ceremonial gold ornaments, but the appearance is not conclusive enough to confirm identity.2016-07-19December 23 20162016-12-23May 31 20182018-05-31 +1 copies
