A photograph of a group of young boys seated closely on the ground outdoors, many in saffron-orange and red-maroon cloth wraps, some bare-chested with sacred threads and tilak markings. They sit around a small grey stone shivalingam at the centre, surrounded by terracotta pots holding small green plants and flowers, with paper name tags tied on the pots. Some boys hold flowers and leaves, and the sandy ground is visible. The scene suggests a planting or offering ritual among young ascetic-style students.2014-11-13May 06 20222022-05-06May 06 20222022-05-06June 14 20142014-06-14November 21 20122012-11-21Outdoor photo of a group of young boys in saffron-orange robes sitting cross-legged on orange cloth mats in a courtyard. Each boy has white markings on the forehead and arms and sits before a banana leaf heaped with yellow and red flower petals, which they sort and pick over with their hands. Palm trees, a corrugated roof and a red wall stand behind them under bright sunlight. The scene suggests a flower-offering ritual, though no deity or altar is visible.2013-12-22November 23 20122012-11-23July 09 20142014-07-09July 23 20172017-07-23June 17 20142014-06-17Photo 11687387May 06 20222022-05-06
