September 28 20172017-09-28 +1 copiesA photograph of a ritual scene before a large, richly decorated deity murti with a pink and gold body, yellow marigold garlands, and an ornate embroidered gold-and-pink costume. In the foreground a bare-chested man with long braided hair and a rust-brown dhoti wrapped at the waist stands at the left, holding a white cloth or offering and moving toward a tall white pillar. A green coconut sits on a pink-draped stand with marigold flowers, and a small grey animal figure and a white animal figure with garlands rest on a blue cloth near the base. A brass oil lamp stands at the right on a gold-brocaded seat, and a camera operator with a tripod is visible at the left edge. The man is a priest or devotee and his features are not established, so no identification is made.2017-09-28February 19 20152015-02-19 +1 copiesOctober 02 20142014-10-02October 12 20132013-10-12July 04 20172017-07-04October 12 20132013-10-12October 12 20132013-10-12Outdoor ritual at an ashram courtyard with orange-painted buildings and palm trees.
