He has a vertical tilak on his forehead, eyes lowered, and holds a small brass bell and pink flowers while performing a ritual at a white pole set into a square pit, where red petals and rose petals lie on the ground. Behind him stands a shirtless assistant with glasses holding a black umbrella, and a tray of fruit and a green coconut sit nearby. Rows of people in orange robes and orange turbans stand in the background, some holding round drums. The pole has red-painted sections and a white cloth draped on it. a person is probable: long dreadlocks, rudraksha-style ritual setting and a flower garland are visible, though the face is not clearly identifiable.2017-10-01A man in a maroon-brown dhoti and wrap stands barefoot on a striped pink, blue and green mat, pouring liquid from a silver vessel into a small excavated pit in the ground. He wears a long garland of pink and white flowers with gold beads, a gold chain, and white and red forehead markings; his eyes are lowered in concentration. To his right, a man in saffron-orange robes and another in orange stand nearby, one raising an object. Red and white painted posts and red walls frame the courtyard, with green foliage behind. The scene looks like a ritual ceremony at an ashram, with marigold petals scattered on the ground beside the pit. a person is the central figure, identified by the flower garland, gold ornaments and ceremonial vessel.2017-10-01November 23 20162016-11-23October 01 20172017-10-01Photo 11707034A photograph of an outdoor ritual at a red-earth pit where a tall white pole wrapped in a white cloth with gold borders stands. A man in rust-brown robes, with a pink and white flower garland and a gold necklace, stands barefoot holding a silver lamp with a burning flame and a green stick, while rose petals and yellow flowers lie around the pit. Behind him, a group of young people in orange robes and orange head cloths stand near white hand drums, and a man in glasses and a dark shirt stands at the back holding a red umbrella. Coconuts, silver bowls with flowers, and pink-and-green striped mats are on the ground. a person is the man with the garland; his shoulder-length dark hair, pink-and-white garland and gold necklace are visible, and he is performing the ritual at the pole.2017-10-01October 01 20172017-10-01
