October 12 20112011-10-12A man sits cross-legged on a mat on a polished floor, eyes lifted and gazing upward, in a devotional hall. He wears a white dhoti and white shawl with gold-yellow borders, a long rudraksha mala around his neck, and matching rudraksha bracelets on both upper arms. White sacred ash lines mark his forehead and arms, with a red kumkum dot between his brows. A small heap of rudraksha beads lies on the mat near his hand. Behind him, two children sit on the floor in the background, and a bright orange cloth and offerings are visible at the edges.2011-11-28November 07 20112011-11-07October 23 20112011-10-23A photograph of two seated men in a large hall with wooden pillars and blurred seated devotees behind them.
