Each holds a brass oil lamp with a flame aloft in one hand and a small handbell in the other; the lamps have a cow-shaped figure on the stand. Gold beaded necklaces hang on their chests. A printed sign on the left and a framed panel on the right are visible, and a metal railing and a low table with a brass plate sit in the foreground.2010-11-05Three standing men in white dhotis and white kurta-style garments with orange shawls perform aarti, each raising a brass lamp with a bright flame at head height in a covered open hall at night. Seated devotees in white and orange sit on a mat in the foreground and along the sides, several with hands folded in prayer. Brass bells and a brass lamp stand rest on the floor in front. On the left wall a banner-style notice with photographs is displayed, and a colourful fabric hanging with orange tassels hangs from the roof beam. No a person candidate is visibly identifiable among the performers.2008-01-03January 03 20082008-01-03July 09 20102010-07-09
