A seated sadhu in rust-red robes and a red-and-gold turban feeds offerings from a silver tray into a fire built of yellow bricks. Beside him are a copper bowl with ghee and a ladle, silver vessels, red flowers and a small kalasha. He wears long rudraksha and wooden malas with a gold pendant, has white markings on his arms and chest, and bangles on his wrists. Shrines and buildings line the far bank.2014-03-18A priest in a rust-red turban and matching red-orange dress sits by a river bank beside a fire pit lined with yellow-orange bricks, pouring herbs from a silver plate into the blazing fire during a homa. A copper bowl with a ladle sits to the right, silver plates of red flowers lie to the left, and a wooded hillside with temple structures rises behind the water. Ash-white markings are visible on his arms, rudraksha beads hang around his neck, and a red sash is worn over the shoulder. The figure has shaved-to-matted hair and no visible cues sufficient to identify a specific person, so he is described by role only.2014-03-18April 11 20182018-04-11 +1 copiesDecember 20 20132013-12-20 +1 copiesA seated man in red-saffron clothing performs a homa at a yellow brick fire pit beside a fast-flowing river. He wears a red-orange turban, a long-beaded rudraksha mala and a gold-and-black pendant necklace, with a saffron shawl over bare shoulders. He holds a small ladle over the flames while reading from an open book on his lap. A brass bowl with a spoon and small metal vessels sit near the fire pit, with a white urn behind. White tilak marks decorate his forehead and arms, and a rope stretches across the riverbank behind him.2014-03-24May 29 20182018-05-29 +2 copiesMarch 18 20142014-03-18December 20 20132013-12-20 +1 copiesMay 25 20222022-05-25December 20 20132013-12-20 +1 copies
