She wears a red and maroon woven shawl printed with small dark script, a red bindi, earrings and a thin necklace. Behind her, another smiling woman in a yellow top and a red woven shawl stands beside a green potted plant. A white tent fabric panel and a plaster wall frame the scene.2015-12-20December 20 20152015-12-20A smiling woman in the foreground wears an orange saffron shawl over a red blouse, with a rudraksha mala around her neck, a red bindi and white vibhuti marks on her forehead, and a small nose stud and earring. Beside her, a second woman in a white garment with a dark rudraksha-style necklace smiles, and a blurred hand and textile fill the edges. The setting appears to be an indoor gathering with a patterned cloth backdrop.2012-10-12Close photograph of a woman devotee in a red and orange sari, wearing a black rudraksha-style bead necklace and a red bindi with white forehead markings. She holds a small brass oil lamp burning with a flame in one hand and a small brass bell hanging from a chain in the other, seemingly performing a ritual while speaking. A younger woman with white forehead markings stands behind her at left, and blurred people and metal railings fill the background.2013-01-04A seated woman in an orange saffron sari with a maroon border sits cross-legged on a mat, performing a ritual. She wears a white vertical tilak and red bindi on her forehead, a rudraksha mala around her neck, gold bangles and a wristwatch. She holds a small gold spoon over a brass plate of yellow flowers, next to a brass tumbler, a small bell, a conch shell and a brass lamp on an orange cloth. A lit oil lamp glows in a brass dish behind her against an orange wall. Another person in red sits at the left edge of the frame.2010-09-22Four women in orange saris with thin gold borders walk together in a bright hall, several holding yellow turmeric or kumkum powder in their hands. Their foreheads bear white vibhuti lines and red bindis, and they wear rudraksha malas over their saris. The woman at left wears a red blouse and glasses, while the woman second from right holds powder in cupped palms. The scene suggests a ritual procession or devotional walk with offerings. Nothing in the frame visibly identifies a person.2013-07-10 +1 copiesOctober 10 20122012-10-10April 23 20132013-04-23 +2 copiesJune 01 20122012-06-01June 01 20062006-06-01
