Smoke drifts up under blue stage lights. Rows of seated participants in white and cream clothes fill the ground, many with red and orange shawls. On the left, an altar with a lit oil lamp, flower garlands, a decorated ceremonial umbrella and a purple draped table stands near a figure in saffron and orange robes seated on a red-cushioned seat. A pair of white-clad figures sits near the fire, and a person in white kneels at the right edge.

Many seated devotees in white and red-orange shawls face the fire under strong floodlight and rising smoke; a purple-draped altar with flower garlands stands at left. Count of visible people exceeds twenty. The priest's back is turned, so no a person identification is made from appearance.2014-03-09September 18 20152015-09-18December 16 20102010-12-16Night outdoor gathering on a grassy field lit by green and white stage lights.
