Rows of seated devotees in orange and red robes perform a ritual in a hall, each holding a tall brass cone-shaped vessel and sitting before small silver bowls, pots and a brass kalasha on low wooden stands. Several women wear rudraksha malas and vibhuti on their foreheads; one woman in a white outfit and one in a deep red sari hold cones and an open notebook. A brass lamp and small bowls sit on the floor in front. The scene suggests a sacred puja or abhishekam-style offering. Several more devotees are visible in the background.2014-10-06November 16 20132013-11-16 +1 copiesAugust 12 20132013-08-12April 04 20142014-04-04Several women seated cross-legged on mats on a tiled floor perform a puja, a ritual worship with lamps and offerings.
