A photograph of a ritual scene on a concrete courtyard beside an orange-painted wall. A barefoot man in saffron-orange draped cloth wears a white flower garland over the shoulders and white and red markings on his forehead and arm. Behind him stand a bald man in orange robes with a mala, a man in orange holding a small object, and men in white dhotis with yellow shawls. Brass ritual vessels and a kalasha-style lamp appear at the bottom edge, with a hand reaching in from the right. A plain orange sofa-like seat is at left.2010-07-21A seated man in orange saffron robes with a matching orange head covering sits in a carved wooden chair, wearing glasses and a white horizontal tilak with a red dot on his forehead. He wears a long gold bead necklace with a large gold ornament at the chest and a gold bangle, and holds a small object in his right hand near his chest.
