Three men in saffron-orange sleeveless robes stand in a bright hall. The two on the left and right, with white horizontal vibhuti stripes across their foreheads and rudraksha malas around their necks, hold handfuls of cooked yellow rice with green herbs. The man on the right offers rice toward the bare shoulder of a shaved-headed young boy in orange in the centre, who faces away from the camera. Seated devotees in orange and red are visible at the lower edges, and a yellow banner hangs in the upper background. The scene looks like prasad being distributed during a ritual.2014-09-13December 20 20152015-12-20 +1 copiesJanuary 16 20162016-01-16A photograph of saffron-clad devotees at an indoor event with white draped tents and wooden shelves behind them. In the foreground, a young man with short dark hair, glasses and beaded rudraksha malas feeds a yellow rice dish from a plate to a young man in orange robes who is opening his mouth to receive it. A second robed devotee in orange with a shaved head and malas holds a plate of rice nearby, and other orange-clad devotees and a woman in a magenta sari stand in the background. A seated figure in orange sits far right beside a golden ornament. The scene suggests a shared meal or prasad distribution.2015-12-20 +1 copiesA photograph of an indoor event hall with white draped ceilings and wooden shelving behind. In the centre, a shaved-headed man in orange robes and a red wrap, wearing a long rudraksha mala and red tilak, holds a white plate of yellow rice and feeds a dark-haired devotee in orange robes and rudraksha mala who opens her mouth to receive it. Other orange-robed devotees stand along a white-draped serving table with plates of food and leaf-served portions.

In the foreground, a smiling man with long swept-back dark hair and a kumkum/vibhuti mark on his forehead wears an orange shawl, a thick beaded rudraksha mala with a ceremonial gold necklace, and holds a white plastic tray of rice and curry. Beside him a shaved-headed devotee in orange with a red-and-orange scarf and rudraksha beads serves rice from a brass-framed steel container, wearing clear plastic gloves. A woman in white with sandalwood-marked forehead stands behind them. The long-haired man's appearance (hair, saffron shawl, rudraksha, gold necklace) is a person candidate; his role is a server distributing a meal.2015-07-07 +1 copiesFebruary 17 20172017-02-17A photograph of shaved-headed men in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas sharing food in a hall.
