A photograph of a seated group of young men and boys in saffron-orange and red-orange robes with rudraksha malas, many with white vibhuti or chandan marks on their foreheads and arms, sitting on a floor during a ritual. Several hold small brass vessels and trays with offerings, and a red-draped table and a wooden carved panel stand in the background behind a white rope barrier. The people appear to be devotees or sannyasi participants; no one is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance.2013-12-16December 04 20132013-12-04December 10 20132013-12-10December 31 20132013-12-31 +2 copiesA photograph of a ritual puja inside a hall with red curtains and white tiled floor.

Behind them, women in red and maroon saris and several Westerners in white clothing sit on red floor mats, some seated on chairs at the back.
