A photograph taken in dim light of a ritual offering table covered with a white cloth. Several men stand close to it: on the left, a man in white clothing and glasses presses his hands onto a steel vessel; in the centre, a man in a yellow shawl over white garments, with a tilak on his forehead and a rudraksha mala hanging from his neck, holds his hands over the table while looking upward; on the right, a man in a grey checked shirt reaches toward the offerings. Behind them a figure in a striped shirt stands in the shadows. On the table are steel tumblers, a wicker basket holding a coconut piece, scattered rose petals and other offerings. The yellow-shawled man's appearance does not clearly confirm the page's claim, so his identity is uncertain.2008-09-03Night-time outdoor scene at a procession or pooja in front of a crowd.

A bare-chested man with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala stands at right, holding out a leafy garland-like offering toward a seated older man in a white shirt in the foreground. Behind them several people in pale and saffron-toned dhotis stand with palms pressed together in anjali. A red curtain hangs on the right, and a small table holds a plate and bowls of offerings.

Visible people number about six to eight.2015-02-19Night outdoor puja scene at an ashram.
