A large indoor hall during a group puja, with rows of seated participants in saffron and orange robes and red-brown sannyasi clothing facing a front area. In the left foreground an older man with a bare upper body and beaded necklace sits near brass vessels and bowls of offerings, while figures in white ritual clothing stand and bend near a long white cloth on the floor. Several participants press their palms together in prayer. Framed photographs with red and orange tones line the walls, and water bottles and leaf-plate offerings with fruit and sweets sit on the mats in front. The scene appears to be a maheshwara puja gathering.2016-03-30February 19 20152015-02-19 +1 copiesMarch 30 20162016-03-30February 23 20162016-02-23May 23 20152015-05-23October 23 20152015-10-23A photograph of a seated community meal at an ashram hall with pink-and-white patterned panels.
