Orange cloths hold more brass plates, a brass bell, a conch shell, a brass water vessel and a spouted cup. Oil lamps burn with flames, and an incense stick rises from a holder.

Two sets of orange cloth mats hold brass plates and lamps with yellow flower garlands, a small red offering, and a brass vessel. A man in a rust-red top and orange dhoti sits cross-legged at the upper left, lighting a small oil lamp with one hand while holding an incense stick, his wrist wrapped in beaded bracelets. At the lower right, another person in orange clothing and a bracelet works over a brass tray. A thin trail of incense smoke rises. The scene is a worship ritual with lamps, flowers and incense.2011-11-01February 04 20172017-02-04January 25 20172017-01-25A seated figure in orange-red robes with a gold-bordered cloth performs a puja on an orange cloth spread across a white marble floor. Brass items are arranged before them: a brass plate holding a red flower, a small brass cup, a conch shell on a stand, a brass bell, a small oil lamp and an incense stick in a holder, and a dish of kumkum or vibhuti. A green-tinted basin with floating flowers sits behind. A rudraksha mala hangs at the shoulder and a bangle is worn on the wrist. No face is visible, so the figure is described by role only; a person is unsure.2011-09-16September 12 20132013-09-12Close photo of seated ritual participants during a puja with brass oil lamps lit on a low table.

Brass plates hold yellow and orange flowers, rice, bowls and small brass vessels, and a brass kalasha-like vessel stands among them. Several other lamps burn across the table.2017-01-06 +1 copiesSeptember 10 20112011-09-10January 10 20172017-01-10
