A young boy sits cross-legged on red-painted stone steps, bare-chested, wearing an orange dhoti and layered rudraksha malas, with white tripundra vibhuti marks on his forehead. He holds his palms together in prayer near small oil lamps and brass ritual vessels. Black stone lingams stand in rows around him, with incense smoke rising, and other saffron-clad participants sit behind him in an outdoor puja setting.2016-11-26 +1 copiesNovember 26 20162016-11-26 +1 copiesOutdoor photo of a ritual on tiered red stone steps lined with dark grey stone pillars and shrine-like pedestals. In the foreground a young boy in orange and gold dhoti sits bare-chested, holding a small brass vessel and a metal lamp, with a brass pot and offerings at his feet. Behind him other boys, some bare-chested with white sacred ash marks on their foreheads and rudraksha malas, sit on the steps, one holding a brass lamp. Adult devotees in orange and red saris and robes are seated further back among pillars, with small oil lamps glowing on the steps. The scene suggests a pooja or aarti with brass vessels and lamps; no a person figure is visible.2016-11-24November 24 20162016-11-24November 26 20162016-11-26 +1 copiesNovember 26 20162016-11-26 +1 copiesApril 12 20132013-04-12 +1 copiesA photograph of a young boy in a maroon robe with yellow trim sits on red stone steps beside a black stone shivalingam.
