A rectangular fire pit made of stacked bricks holds a smoking fire, with a hooked iron tool and small vessels nearby. Three priests sit around it: one in a white dhoti with a saffron-striped shawl and rudraksha-like beads tending the fire, one in a white dhoti and bare chest wearing an orange-and-red turban and glasses, and a younger man in white and a striped shawl seated at right. A tray of kumkum-coloured and flower-decorated kolam-style design holds apples, oranges, and offerings. Behind them a deity murti is decorated with white and yellow marigold garlands, fruit bananas lie in front, and a stack of firewood sits at right. No identifiable a person figure is clearly visible.2017-03-15March 15 20172017-03-15Photo 11715287 +2 copiesApril 17 20172017-04-17
