A large hall filled with seated devotees in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls performing a group puja on the floor. Many wear rudraksha malas and white vibhuti or tilak marks on their foreheads and arms. Brass plates, small oil lamps, flowers and kalasha-like vessels sit on mats in front of them. Large framed portraits and banners line the walls behind, and a few onlookers in white stand near the back. Many people are visible, so the count is a crowd of over 100.2017-07-04May 10 20182018-05-10 +1 copiesA large group of women and girls seated on the floor in a hall performing a ritual with brass vessels and oil lamps.
