A white square fire pit with a central opening sits in front of a golden throne flanked by two golden lions, and a deity murti is seated on a raised throne behind it. Colourful striped and woven mats cover the floor, with bananas, fruit, and flower offerings in the foreground. A single person in an orange cloth wrap sits cross-legged at the fire pit, seen from behind, with a shaved head and a sacred cord visible at the shoulder. Ornate golden pillars wrapped in multicoloured bands, hanging red and pink decorative umbrellas, and a brass ritual lamp and implements on a low table complete the scene.2020-03-26Photo 11728702 +2 copies
