A barefoot priest in an orange-red dhoti and sleeveless orange top stands outdoors beside an ornate copper temple structure, holding a small brass bell in one hand and a brass lamp stand with a flame and smoke in the other. A rudraksha-style bead mala hangs around the neck. Coconut palms and a partly cloudy sky fill the background, with a stone deity murti and a copper vessel at the edges. The scene suggests an aarti or puja. The wider page excerpt refers to a satsang talk, but no talk is visible here.2010-10-18October 18 20102010-10-18 +2 copiesOctober 18 20102010-10-18 +2 copiesOctober 18 20102010-10-18March 02 20112011-03-02Outdoor photo at dusk beside a carved wooden shrine or pillar wrapped with orange rope and a thatched top, decorated with garlands of white flowers and purple blooms.
