Two women in saffron-orange saris with gold borders stand close together, each holding a small brass or copper bowl with a long wooden stick, apparently preparing or offering something. The woman on the left wears a red bindi, a beaded necklace and bangles, and looks down at the bowl. The woman on the right has a white tilak on her forehead, a rudraksha mala necklace and a beaded bracelet, and is also focused on the bowl. Blurred blue and green fairy lights glow in the background, with a faint purple logo at upper left.2013-03-10Four women in saffron-orange saris with gold borders stand close together in a warmly lit hall decorated with small colourful string lights. They hold small clay bowls and cups with both hands, some with grains or small offerings, while looking down with concentrated expressions. Several wear long beaded necklaces and bangles, and their foreheads bear white ash and red kumkum marks. The setting suggests a ritual offering, possibly a puja. No a person is visible in this photograph.2013-03-10July 10 20132013-07-10 +2 copiesMarch 10 20132013-03-10Two young women in orange-saffron saris with yellow borders sit close together in the foreground, each with a white vertical forehead mark and a red bindi.
