A barefoot man in a saffron-orange dhoti and wrap, wearing a long rudraksha mala, bends forward at the stone platform, hands together near brass offerings. Brass lamps, a brass kalasha and vessels with flowers sit on the stone ledge, with smoke rising. A red-draped seat and a wooden cabinet holding malas stand to the right. The walls are painted red and white. The man's appearance is not clear enough to confirm the page's claim, so the identity is unsure and he is described by role as a devotee or priest performing puja.2010-11-02November 14 20102010-11-14 +1 copies
