A rudraksha-style beaded garland with gold ornaments hangs on his chest. Seated devotees behind him, including women in saris and a few head-covered or fair-haired attendees, look up and clap. A white board with colourful printed graphics and a parked vehicle appear in the dim background.2011-10-05October 05 20112011-10-05September 07 20122012-09-07 +1 copiesAugust 28 20122012-08-28September 08 20122012-09-08November 10 20112011-11-10A photograph of an outdoor fire ritual at an open ground with coconut palms behind. A man with hair tied in a knot, a white sacred ash mark on his forehead, and a rudraksha mala draped over his bare upper body stands at a fire pit, wrapped in a flowing red-orange cloth. He holds a long wooden stick topped with a brass vessel with flames, and gazes down at the fire. Several white-clad devotees and a woman in a white patterned dress with a yellow lanyard stand nearby, hands folded, watching. A board with a portrait stands in the background. The page identifies the standing ritual figure as a person based on the rudraksha mala, red-orange garment and fire ritual, though the face is not clearly identifiable.2009-06-15January 10 20122012-01-10Photo 11709694Photo 11732492
