Close-up photo of a seated priest in a deep red-maroon dhoti and matching upper cloth, wearing a long pink lotus garland and multiple rudraksha malas over his chest and wrists. His right hand holds a brass-coloured ritual implement dipped in a yellow paste, applying it over a black stone lingam or altar block. Silver puja vessels with engraved designs stand on either side, and a saffron-yellow powder heap sits in the foreground. The scene appears to be a ritual abhishekam. The priest's face is not visible, so no identity can be given.2018-01-31January 31 20182018-01-31June 09 20172017-06-09Close view of a ritual being performed by a priest in a reddish-maroon dhoti and matching cloth, wearing rudraksha bracelets and a long pink flower garland.
