Outdoor ritual at an ashram courtyard: a man in long dark hair and a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, wearing a marigold garland, rings a handbell and gestures toward a deity murti decorated with marigold and green garlands and a golden peacock-like vahana. Three other saffron-clad men stand beside him, two with palms joined in prayer and one holding a tray of flowers. A white-clad devotee stands at left, and a wooden canopy frame and a terracotta-coloured building are behind them. Overall this looks like a puja or aarti in progress.2010-11-06November 06 20102010-11-06Outdoor ritual scene at an ashram courtyard with orange-walled buildings and trees.
