A bearded man with long dark hair, wearing an orange jacket and rust-orange dhoti, pours bright yellow powder from a bowl into the pit. Around him, shirtless men in orange dhotis wear rudraksha malas, one holding a tall wooden staff with red and green tassels that bears a canopy. A woman in a red sari stands among them. A man in white dhoti with gold border and a man holding a brass tray with flowers stand nearby. Rose-petal offerings lie on a cloth at the pit's edge, under bright sky and trees.2016-12-30October 19 20132013-10-19September 11 20162016-09-11A group of about eight men in saffron and maroon robes walks barefoot along a dirt path past a rocky, earthy slope with boulders and a partly visible stone statue behind them.
