A bald priest in white dhoti with a saffron-striped shawl bends over a silver lotus-shaped vessel with oil lamps and flowers, pouring from a small brass vessel.

A shirtless young man in a white dhoti sits cross-legged near the priest, and a cluster of standing devotees, several in white, with hands folded, watch from behind. Garlands drape the throne and the backdrop, and a green-and-white map hangs on the wall.2004-06-12February 16 20072007-02-16July 02 20042004-07-02A photograph of a large seated gathering under a open-sided pavilion with a corrugated roof.
