A young man in a red dhoti and red upper cloth edged with gold bands stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, eyes closed, a red tilak on his forehead and white sacred markings on his arms. Beside him a large fire blazes on a raised altar, with rows of brass kalashas and oil lamps set on a white-draped table. Brass plates with flowers, fruit and offerings lie on the floor. A dark deity murti with garlands stands in the background, and a smoky, dimly lit hall surrounds the scene.2013-06-27A night-time ritual photograph in front of a richly decorated deity murti framed by a golden arch, adorned with garlands of flowers. A priest wearing a red-orange turban and red-orange cloth around his waist stands at left, holding a brass plate or lid and pouring or offering toward a large open flame at the base of the shrine. Brass oil lamps with lit wicks stand on either side of the fire, and a lamp and offerings sit on the stone platform beside the lions. A red and gold ceremonial umbrella stands at right. The figure's face is not clearly visible enough to confirm identity.2016-10-29January 18 20142014-01-18 +1 copiesNovember 25 20142014-11-25January 13 20152015-01-13May 20 20142014-05-20
