A puja scene in front of an ornate carved wooden throne-like seat draped with a garland of white and orange flowers. A woman in a bright yellow saree with a red bindi and glasses holds pink flower petals in her hands, seated beside a man in a white sleeveless vest with a sandalwood mark on his forehead, rudraksha mala and a pendant, holding a brass tray of pink rose petals. Behind them a figure in orange robes with a long dark braid and rudraksha mala sits on the throne area. A brass vessel and a peacock-feather fan sit at the lower left.2004-06-12November 24 20102010-11-24October 31 20102010-10-31 +1 copiesOctober 10 20102010-10-10October 20 20102010-10-20Three people sit close together in front of a gilded altar with red velvet cushions, in a devotional setting.

A bespectacled man with short hair and a red bindi wears a white dhoti and shawl edged in gold, with a dark rudraksha mala around his neck and a steel wristwatch. He holds a small silver lamp in one open palm while looking down, a devotee-style presence at a puja. Beside him, a woman in a white sari with a gold border has a white forehead mark, eyes closed and palms pressed together in prayer. Another white-clad figure sits at the edge. In front, a silver tray holds offerings, and a small lit oil lamp glows on the right, with incense smoke drifting through the air.2010-11-15November 24 20102010-11-24November 24 20102010-11-24June 05 20122012-06-05A photo from a ritual setting showing a shaven-headed priest in a white dhoti and shawl with a gold necklace and gold beaded garland, his hands raised holding incense sticks and a small lamp, with white sandalwood marks on his arms and forehead.
