A young girl in a gold-embroidered cream blouse and pink skirt stands with her hand raised toward a smiling man on the right, who is bare-chested in a white dhoti with white sacred ash marks on his forehead and arms. Behind them a man with a moustache and a rudraksha mala sits bare-chested in a white dhoti. Centre back, a standing figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe is partly cropped at the top.

Several men and boys in orange and saffron dhotis and shawls, some bare-chested, stand and sit closely together. Two adult men in the foreground, one with a shaved head and a white tilak on his forehead, one with rudraksha malas around his neck, hold yellow flower petals or rice in cupped hands and offer them. A small boy in orange, also with a tilak, stands beside them and reaches out his hands. Behind them women in orange and pink saris and white head cloths sit on the floor, with small white cups and yellow petals arranged on the ground. A blue sign is visible on the upper wall. The scene suggests a puja or abhishekam offering.2013-05-20May 20 20132013-05-20A photograph of a ritual gathering in a hall, with many young priests and devotees seated on the floor in orange and maroon robes. Foreground boys wear orange cloth and rudraksha malas, their foreheads and arms marked with white ash; some hold small items at their hands while sitting before brass puja vessels, small dishes and flowers on low tables. Behind them, rows of seated participants in maroon and red garments and white clothing sit behind rope barriers, with a few standing figures and an older man in white at the right edge. The scene suggests a puja or abhishekam-style ceremony with brass vessels and oil lamps.2013-09-23October 29 20132013-10-29 +1 copiesSeptember 21 20132013-09-21July 03 20172017-07-03 +1 copiesMarch 25 20182018-03-25April 23 20132013-04-23 +2 copies
