Seated people in saffron-orange robes surround a white cloth laid with offerings: bowls of sweets and nuts, sliced oranges and red apples in silver dishes, a silver lamp and small brass vessels, and marigold garlands. At right, a gilded throne-like seat holds a silver tray of yellow flowers. Several devotees wear orange garments, rudraksha-style beads and gold necklaces, and one holds a long ceremonial staff wrapped in orange cloth. The scene suggests a ritual offering of food and flowers.2009-01-01August 05 20102010-08-05August 08 20102010-08-08 +1 copiesNovember 15 20102010-11-15December 27 20062006-12-27September 14 20152015-09-14 +1 copiesSeptember 14 20152015-09-14January 01 20092009-01-01A photograph of a ritual puja setup on a patterned red-and-cream carpet. In the foreground are a large engraved silver kalasha with a coconut and mango leaves, silver bowls of fruit, sweets and offerings, a silver pot of flowers, and a silver vessel with a lid. Behind, a gilded throne draped in an orange cloth sits above a small silver tray. Seated devotees in white clothes with orange shawls, one with hands folded in anjali, one holding a flower garland, surround the offerings. Marigolds and petals are scattered among the items, consistent with an abhishekam or puja. No person is clearly identifiable as a person; the throne is empty of a visible figure.2007-02-24Overhead photo of a puja offering table covered with a white cloth and bordered by orange marigold garlands. Silver bowls hold nuts, dried fruit, sweets, rice and yellow flower-garnished offerings, with fresh oranges and apples on a tray at the lower left. Two seated women in orange saffron-coloured clothing face the table; one has a long dark braid and wears gold bangles, the other, in a red blouse, has a shaved or closely cropped head. A large round platter of yellow-flowered sweets sits on a red cushion on a gold-ornamented seat at right.2009-01-01
