Inside a temple sanctum, a long-haired figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe stands at a stone shrine draped with white cloth and garlands of yellow, white and red flowers, pouring liquid from a metal bowl over a dark linga. Two shaven-headed attendants in orange robes assist at the lower left, one holding a bowl and the other guiding it. To the right, deity murtis with silver crowns and red-and-yellow garlands, one wearing a red silk sari-style garment and an ornate crown, watch over the ritual. Gold-leaf ornamentation frames the upper shrine. The scene is an abhishekam offering.2008-03-22December 22 20182018-12-22 +2 copiesNovember 09 20072007-11-09December 23 20102010-12-23December 30 20182018-12-30 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated figure in a flower-decorated shrine, dressed in orange with a red-and-orange shawl draped across the lap and an orange-clad priest in the foreground. The seated figure has long black hair, a white forehead mark with a red bindi, rudraksha beads and bangles, and sits on a leopard-print cushion over a gold throne. Garlands of white, orange and purple flowers frame the arch, with green leaves above. The priest on the right, with a shaved-looking head, wears orange robes and white body markings, and holds a silver bell in one hand while gesturing with a small silver vessel. A red curtain and an ornate dark panel form the background. The figure is a murti or statue, not a living person, and no identification is made from the figure's face.2018-05-27March 07 20132013-03-07June 19 20142014-06-19 +1 copiesMarch 07 20132013-03-07A photograph of a ritual scene in an ashram hall with pink walls. In the foreground a bare-chested man in an orange-brown dhoti with a gold waistband and red rudraksha mala garlands offers flowers or a fruit to a decorated deity murti seated on a gold throne. The murti wears an orange garment and a crown-like headdress, framed by a curved arch of garlands in purple, yellow, red, white and green. Orange and white flower garlands drape the throne, and a second man in white ritual clothes stands behind. A visible tilak marks the forehead of the standing man. The attendant's appearance does not clearly establish an identity, so the a person field is unsure.2013-05-25December 02 20172017-12-02December 23 20102010-12-23
