A devotional scene in a small room with lilac walls and a cooler on a stand. A young man in white dhoti and shirt with a red and white garland stands with palms pressed together, while a woman in an orange and gold silk sari with a garland and folded hands leans forward. Opposite them, a figure in an orange saffron robe with a red-orange shawl and ornate gold jewellery bends to place or touch something on the man's head. To the right stands a sannyasi in saffron with rudraksha beads and a silver trident, and a floral backdrop of yellow and pink flowers decorates the wall. Several older men in white and a child in pink and green look on from the back.2014-06-21June 21 20142014-06-21 +2 copiesA photograph of a devotee event in a room with lilac walls and flower garlands.
