Several hold brass lamps or ritual implements over small plates of fruit and sweets on low wooden stands. Behind them, men in white dhotis and shirts, some wearing red shawls, sit with hands folded in prayer. The setting looks like a hall with a tiled floor and a blue cloth strip on the floor.2013-11-18A large seated ritual gathering in a hall with yellow and maroon draping. In the foreground, a woman in a green sari with a gold border holds a small oil lamp, and beside her a woman in white with a white forehead mark holds a brass lamp. A bare-chested man with rudraksha malas and a white dhoti holds a small lamp, and an older man in white with glasses holds an offering. Behind them, many men in saffron-orange robes sit with palms joined in prayer, and a bearded man in orange holds a microphone. The scene reads as a puja or aarti with lamps being offered.2019-01-01May 22 20132013-05-22February 20 20132013-02-20April 09 20142014-04-09August 26 20172017-08-26 +1 copiesApril 09 20142014-04-09July 16 20142014-07-16Photograph of a seated group of shaven-headed men in orange-red robes and white forehead markings performing a ritual indoors. The foreground man, bare-chested with an orange-and-gold shawl across his shoulder, holds a small brass oil lamp in one hand and a brass bell in the other. Rudraksha malas hang on several men behind him, and white ash stripes mark their arms and chests. Small brass oil lamps and offerings sit on a cloth at lower left, with a water bottle nearby. Warm pinkish walls and gold pillars frame the hall. No clearly identifiable throne or a person cues are visible in the foreground, so the central figure is a priest-like participant rather than a confirmed a person.2017-02-10Photo 11731610 +1 copies
