April 14 20132013-04-14A woman in a rust-brown sari with a gold border stands at left, holding a small offering and a flower near a golden lingam. Behind her, two golden deity murtis sit on a throne, one wearing an orange turban and the other a tall gold crown, both adorned with garlands, necklaces and yellow silk. Marigold and rose garlands drape the arched backdrop in red, yellow, purple and white, and a golden trident-like staff stands at right beside a brass lamp. The scene appears to be a temple abhishekam or puja setting with no visible a person candidate.2013-04-14January 04 20152015-01-04April 14 20132013-04-14A photograph of a temple worship scene. A woman in an ochre-orange sari with a matching saffron-orange wrap, wearing a long orange-and-gold beaded necklace and gold bangles, stands on the left with a red kumkum mark on her forehead and a small bindi. She is holding a silver plate near a golden vessel and a gold pot-shaped vessel with green-tipped finials. Two large metal deity murtis sit on a decorated seat in front, one wearing an orange-red turban and the other a tall gold crown, both draped in white jasmine garlands and red flowers. Behind them stand a gold ornate arch, a green cloth, and a floral backdrop of red, purple, and yellow flowers. The scene appears to be an abhishekam or puja offering in a temple.2013-04-14A photograph of a temple shrine adorned with garlands of red, orange, yellow and purple flowers. Two golden deity murtis sit on a raised seat: the left figure wears an orange turban and a rudraksha-style necklace, and the right figure wears a gold crown and ornate jewellery, with a gold kalasha-like object in front. A person in an orange-brown dress with yellow borders stands at the left, holding a lit oil lamp toward the murtis as part of a puja. Brass oil lamps stand at the edges of the frame. The person is dressed in orange and does not show distinctive a person cues strong enough to label them, so the a person field is unsure.2013-04-14July 21 20102010-07-21April 14 20132013-04-14July 21 20102010-07-21April 14 20132013-04-14May 13 20152015-05-13A temple ritual photograph under a covered mandapa with a red curtain behind. Two figures in saffron-orange robes stand at left: a bare-chested young man in orange cloth with a white-clad attendant holding a tray in the background. Central focus is a large decorated deity murti seated on a blue-and-white draped platform, with a crowned figure in orange-red and gold garments, flanked by brass oil lamps (deepas), a kalasha-like vessel, and a dense garland of yellow, red and green flowers framing the image. A smaller murti in red-and-white clothing with a mala and necklace sits in front. Two people with shaved or tied hair in orange cloth sit at the lower left foreground.2009-07-08
