In the foreground, shaved-headed monks in saffron-orange robes sit in rows with palms pressed together in anjali, some with white vertical tilak marks on their foreheads and rudraksha malas around their necks. Before each figure lies a banana leaf heaped with food, with small paper cups of drink beside it. Behind them, rows of people in red and white sit on mats, and a few white-clad attendants stand at the far right near a large vessel. The scene suggests a community food-offering ritual.2013-01-01 +1 copiesPhoto 11705606 +1 copiesSeptember 13 20142014-09-13November 14 20132013-11-14
