A hand holds a brass oil lamp with a lit flame, its wick touched to an offering or plate, while others around sit in white dhotis with gold-bordered cloth. Brass plates hold pink and white flower petals, a brass cup and small brass bowls, and a brass lamp stand with incense. Several arms with brass bangles and white sacred ash marks on the skin are visible at the edges, along with a white cloth covering a seated person's legs. The setting appears to be a hall with a plain floor mat.2017-01-07January 07 20172017-01-07January 22 20172017-01-22January 01 20172017-01-01March 25 20172017-03-25March 29 20172017-03-29Close-up photograph of several people seated on the floor during a ritual, holding small brass oil lamps with lit flames. Hands and bare legs are prominent; the men wear white dhotis with gold borders and a few have white sacred ash marks on their arms. Brass plates hold flowers, a white flower, fruit, incense sticks and a kalasha-style brass vessel. A white plastic container sits on a green mat. The scene suggests a puja or aarti in progress, with visible wrist threads and bangles.2017-01-07January 14 20172017-01-14
