Photo 11699122December 19 20162016-12-19Three bare-chested men in ceremonial dress perform a ritual exchange at a stage-like setting with a large ornate gold and floral backdrop. The man at left wears a gold cylindrical headpiece edged with pearls and a white dhoti with blue border, and a floral garland. The central man wears a green jeweled turban with pearl strands, a gold-bordered yellow cloth, and a long white flower garland with red roses, and holds a small offering. The man at right wears a green and gold head wrap, a green and orange shawl, and gold jewelry, and is pouring or offering white grains into the central man's cupped hands. Gold bangles and a pendant are visible.2016-03-27A photograph of two young male performers on a decorated stage with hanging colourful tassel decorations overhead. The figure on the left wears a golden-yellow turban, orange dhoti, red-and-white flower garlands, red bangles and facial markings, and extends his arm around the shoulder of the second performer. The figure on the right wears an ornate green and gold crown, white and red flower garlands and a gold armband, and cups his palms together holding white flowers. Both appear to be in a staged devotional or dramatic tableau, with white and yellow garlands and draped fabric ceilings in the background.2016-12-19March 27 20162016-03-27February 19 20162016-02-19 +1 copiesDecember 25 20132013-12-25 +1 copiesTwo men stand close together in a gold-and-red temple setting during a ritual.
