Several wear rudraksha malas. The man in the centre foreground wears white clothes with a red-and-gold border, a tilak on his forehead, and round glasses, and holds his hands together. On the right, a man in saffron-orange robes with a bare shoulder sits with eyes closed and a rudraksha mala around his neck. Other men sit behind them, some reciting or looking down. The page describes a Karthikai Deepam lamp-lighting, but the visible scene shows only the ritual seating and objects, with no identifiable a person depicted with confidence.2010-11-21August 06 20112011-08-06November 01 20112011-11-01October 08 20102010-10-08Photo 11681256 +1 copiesA group of shaved-headed men in white dhotis and white shawls sit cross-legged in rows during a ritual. Several hold small brass vessels or cups raised near their faces, and a few wear rudraksha malas. The foreground figures are in sharp focus while others recede into the background, with brass lamps and offering plates visible near the floor. The mood is devotional.2010-12-03July 31 20112011-07-31Photo 11681741July 13 20112011-07-13October 20 20102010-10-20 +1 copies
