In front, a woman in a gold sari and face mask sits on a white cloth beside a large steel pot. Two young boys in orange cloth with rudraksha malas sit on the floor at right; one has bare shoulders and a tilak, and both hold their hands together in prayer before leaf plates of rice, curry and flatbread with small steel cups of yellow liquid. Behind them stand a white Shiva figure seated in meditation and a partial standing deity statue, and a framed portrait on a blue-draped table at left, beside a colourful woven banner.2022-01-31Two women in orange saris sit on the floor in a room with yellow cinder-block walls.
