Photo of a temple ritual inside a KAILASA temple hall with golden deity murtis and a red-draped altar behind. A bare-chested priest in white dhoti with gold border and rudraksha mala stands at left holding a tray of fruit. Beside him a bald man in white dhoti, then a woman in orange and red saree holds a framed picture. A woman in brown and orange saree with flowers in her hair faces her. A seated priest with bare chest and mala sits on a striped mat at left beside brass kalasha vessels and a decorated table with a pink flower. No clear visual cue identifies a person in this group, so no candidate is named.2019-03-04 +1 copiesNovember 14 20212021-11-14June 28 20142014-06-28 +1 copiesFour people stand together indoors in front of orange-red drapes beside a red EXIT sign. A shirtless man at left wears a white dhoti with a red-and-gold border, rudraksha and beaded necklaces, and white markings on his body. In the centre, a bearded man in white dhoti with gold border, a white-and-red turban, glasses and a heavy gold-beaded necklace holds his palms together in namaste. Beside him, a woman in a maroon checked sari and layered beaded necklaces looks on, and at right a woman in a pink, purple and yellow sari with a red bindi and bangles stands with hands folded in prayer.2021-11-14June 28 20142014-06-28 +1 copiesA shaved-headed priest stands bare-chested in a white dhoti with gold border at the centre-left, tossing flower petals and garlands over a large ornate deity murti with a gold hood. Around him are multiple garlanded murtis in a temple sanctum: a dark-faced figure in gold armour at left, a bearded figure in a red turban and red garland at right, and a small statue wearing a blue sari with a garland at the lower right. Red, white and pink flower garlands drape the altar, and a blue and gold silk cloth lies at the base, with brass offering vessels nearby. The scene appears to be an abhishekam or puja in a temple room. No person in the scene is identified as a person.2019-02-17Photo 11694032 +1 copiesNovember 14 20212021-11-14January 09 20152015-01-09June 28 20142014-06-28 +1 copiesJune 28 20142014-06-28Photograph of an indoor temple shrine with gold-painted arches and walls.
