Each boy has white markings on the forehead and arms and sits before a banana leaf heaped with yellow and red flower petals, which they sort and pick over with their hands. Palm trees, a corrugated roof and a red wall stand behind them under bright sunlight. The scene suggests a flower-offering ritual, though no deity or altar is visible.2013-12-22Outdoor photograph of a group of children and young men in orange and saffron robes gathered around a seated man on a white circular stone platform. The central seated man wears a rust-orange shawl with gold border, a rudraksha mala, and holds a yellow cloth or paper; he is barefoot and smiling. Behind him stand many boys in orange dhotis with rudraksha beads, while a few girls in red and black clothing stand among them. A white-haired elder in white head covering is at the left edge, and a few devotees in orange sit at the lower left. Background shows bougainvillea, trees, a green gate and a red building. A pink cloth lies on the ground at lower right.2013-11-15April 23 20132013-04-23KAILASA FAMILIA PORTUGUESA, PORTUGAL on 1/27/20182018-01-27Six young boys sit on the ground on banana leaves arranging flowers for a ritual.
