A man in a bare chest and white dhoti, wearing an orange-red head cloth, a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, holds his palms over the fire while sitting cross-legged beside a brass tray of white grains. Behind him sits a gold-framed throne draped with orange cloth and white garlands, with a seated figure and a wood carving of a deity murti. Brass kalashas, oil lamps, banana bunches, fruits and flower garlands surround the scene. A standing man in a white dhoti and sacred thread stands at the back beside a red pedestal reading SRI ANANDA NANDI. Smoke drifts through the dark background.2017-05-26December 20 20112011-12-20May 02 20172017-05-02December 20 20112011-12-20Night outdoor ritual under a decorated canopy with colourful bunting and a sunburst design.
