KAILASA SAN JOSE, USA on 12/14/20202020-12-14KAILASA SAN JOSE, USA on 1/14/20212021-01-14A bare-backed priest with long dark hair, wearing a white sacred thread and a face mask, raises a brass five-flame aarti lamp toward black stone deity murtis on a yellow-walled altar. The murtis are garlanded with red, yellow and orange flowers, and a white flower garland lies on the altar base. A tattoo is visible on the priest's upper arm. He is the only physical person in view; the figures are statues. The scene suggests a puja with aarti.2021-01-14KAILASA SAN JOSE, USA on 12/14/20202020-12-14 +1 copiesA shirtless priest with long hair tied up sits cross-legged on a golden cloth before a shrine in a yellow-walled room, wearing a white dhoti and a face mask. A tattoo marks his upper back and arm. He holds a small ritual implement over a silver plate of bananas, nuts, and offerings, with brass cups and a bowl of red and yellow flower petals nearby. Behind him stand three black stone deity murtis garlanded with red and white flowers on a red-draped altar, with a white flower garland swagged across it. A cushioned seat with a decorated blue-draped throne and a brass lamp stand sits to the left, and a bouquet of red roses rests at right.2021-01-14A bare-chested priest in a white dhoti with a gold border and a red face mask holds a brass five-flame oil lamp aarti toward the viewer before a shrine. Black stone deity murtis stand behind a teal and maroon silk cloth, garlanded with white jasmine, yellow marigold and red flower garlands. A brass bowl of white flowers and rose petals sits in the foreground. A rudraksha mala hangs around the priest's neck, and vibhuti is marked on his forehead. The setting suggests a Navagraha puja or abhishekam at a Hindu temple.2020-12-14KAILASA SAN JOSE, USA on 1/14/20212021-01-14A shrine altar draped in orange fabric and edged with white jasmine and red-flower garlands, with three dark stone deity murtis garlanded in red, yellow and white flowers. Incense smoke rises from the altar, and a human arm at the lower left holds a bundle of incense sticks. The murti on the left wears a blue garment and the central one a red-and-gold sash. No people's faces are visible and there is no visible a person figure, so this is a shrine scene.2021-01-14KAILASA SAN JOSE, USA on 1/14/20212021-01-14KAILASA TORONTO, CANADA on 3/11/20212021-03-11KAILASA TORONTO, CANADA on 3/11/20212021-03-11KAILASA SAN JOSE, USA on 2/27/20212021-02-27
