In the foreground, a long-haired figure in saffron cloth with a saffron head wrap and white jasmine garland sits before a brass tray with small lamps, while a man in a white shirt with a lanyard holds a small item over a decorated tray at a low table. Behind them, a man in a white shirt and a woman in a red-and-orange sari stand near the ritual table, and saffron-robed sannyasis and devotees sit or stand throughout the tent. Several people in saffron and white fill the background, one raising a phone. The scene reads as a Shiva deeksha initiation ceremony with an oil-lamp ritual.2016-05-06February 12 20132013-02-12December 19 20162016-12-19April 21 20162016-04-21August 27 20162016-08-27
