October 12 20072007-10-12Close-up photograph of a pink lotus flower with layered pink-edged petals lying on red silk fabric with gold zari border. Beside it a gleaming brass or copper object is wrapped with multiple bangles and a jeweled gold armlet set with red and green stones. No people are visible. Sparkling sequins and gold embroidery decorate the textile.2007-10-12May 30 20172017-05-30Close-up photograph of a pink lotus flower held against a vivid orange silk cloth with a silver-gold border. A gold-toned arm or staff with layered gold bangles and a jewelled armlet is visible at top, next to a deep blue silk shawl with gold zari stripes and tassels. A white flower garland runs along the left edge. The image appears to be a deity or statue adornment detail rather than a visible person; no face is shown and no people are visible.2007-10-12A photograph of a deity murti adorned for worship, shown frontally against a backdrop of concentric arcs of flower garlands in red, white, purple and yellow. The murti is covered in gold ornaments and a gold-and-white garment, with a tall crown-like headdress of purple velvet decorated with gold discs, a gold-rimmed face and a gold trident-like implement held at the sides. Gold lamps and a gold cloth drape sit at the base. Foliage accents the garlands. The setting is a temple shrine with flowers arranged in an arch around the image.2016-08-28 +1 copiesDecember 17 20132013-12-17October 16 20102010-10-16 +1 copiesOctober 03 20102010-10-03Close-up photograph of a pink-tipped white lotus bud lying on its side on a red textured velvet surface, its long green stem extending to the right. Behind it, blurred orange-saffron cloth drapes over a seated figure's lap, with an orange towel folded at the left edge and a glimpse of gold ritual metal at the right. No faces are visible, and no clearly identifiable person is shown, so the a person field is none.2010-09-02A photograph of a tiered golden kalasha-like ritual object, stacked in stepped square and cylindrical sections, wrapped in strands of white jasmine garlands with red roses. It wears a sparkling diamond-style necklace with multiple rows of pearls draped over its base. Red roses and large pink-and-cream lotus-like flowers rest on a striped white and maroon cloth in the foreground, with a green silk backdrop woven with gold motifs. In the upper left, a woman in a beige headscarf and a purple and gold sari bends over a tray, partly visible. No person is clearly identifiable as a person. The scene reads as a decorated deity murti or ritual object during a ceremony.2011-04-23Close-up of feet being washed in a padapuja ritual, resting on a silver tray filled with white and yellow lotus blossoms, orange marigold-like flowers, green leaves and yellow petals. Red rose petals and a strand of gold beads lie over the feet of the person, who wears a red garment with gold-embroidered border. Oil lamp and silver vessels blur in the background.2013-12-08May 30 20172017-05-30
