A shaved-headed man in a white garment kneels at left, and two shaved-headed men in orange robes stand behind. The figure in orange has a bare upper body with gold bangles and a rudraksha-style bead necklace visible, seated on a brown upholstered sofa with cushions, with white flower petals scattered on the carpet. The setting is a room with yellow walls and orange curtains. The seated figure in orange shows distinctive long swept-back hair, gold ornaments and a garland, but identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.2014-06-28 +1 copiesA photograph of an indoor devotional gathering. A woman in a deep red sari with gold bangles and a red-and-gold beaded garland sits on a gold-finished lion-headed seat, her hand resting on the knee of a kneeling man in a white shirt and red-orange shawl, whose head is bowed toward her. Behind them, a standing woman in white with a red-orange shawl holds a tall garland of yellow, white and magenta flowers on a pole, while a woman in a grey sari with red blouse stands with palms pressed together in namaste, and more women in white and red-orange shawls stand in the background. A warm lamp glows at upper left and a framed picture hangs on the wall. The setting suggests a darshan or blessing moment.2014-05-17June 28 20142014-06-28 +1 copiesA photograph of a pada puja ritual in a decorated room with draped red, orange, teal and purple cloth. A man seated on a flower-decorated throne wears an orange-and-gold garment, a large red-and-yellow flower garland, gold bangles and a white tilak on his forehead, and holds a silver staff. Two devotees kneel before him: a man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala, and a woman in a white sari with green and red border who pours water from a metal vessel over the seated man's feet. Behind them, saffron-robed sannyasis kneel, and two young men in white dhotis stand with palms joined. A photographer in white with a camera is visible at the top. Garlands and a brass lamp are on the side.2014-06-21 +1 copiesAugust 28 20142014-08-28
