Brass lamps, a kalasha-style vessel, small brass cups and offering plates with flowers and kumkum stand on low mats in front of them. Behind them, more devotees in white and cream saris sit in an indoor hall, some with folded hands and eyes closed. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible in this frame, so this appears to be a group satsang or puja gathering.2013-11-13December 12 20182018-12-12December 12 20182018-12-12A group of young women and girls in orange saffron saris with maroon and gold borders sit cross-legged on the floor during a ritual. Several wear rudraksha mala necklaces and white vibhuti marks on their foreheads. In the foreground, a young woman with a ponytail pours liquid from a small brass vessel, while others hold brass bells, brass lamps and small offering bowls on a low metal tray. A pink bag sits in the lower right. The setting appears to be a temple hall during puja or abhishekam. Only the visible women and girls are counted.2013-06-07December 17 20182018-12-17A large group of women seated on the floor in a hall with red curtains, dressed in orange and saffron saris with rudraksha malas and white forehead markings. Many hold lit oil lamps or brass aarti/puja plates with flowers, kumkum and small brass vessels arranged on metal trays in front of them. A few older women in deep red saris lead the rite, one with grey hair holding a lamp. The scene appears to be a group puja or aarti being performed in a sanctum-style hall. Roughly thirty people are visible.2014-02-03
