The fingers of the right hand turn a page while the left hand supports the book from below. Pages show printed Sanskrit-style text and small illustrations of ritual objects. Warm sunlight falls across the orange fabric and the blurred green background. Only the hands and lap are visible, so no face is shown.2006-04-19February 10 20172017-02-10January 01 20132013-01-01A photograph of a Hindu ritual at night in a plain hall. In the foreground a shaven-headed man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala and white tilak marks on his forehead and arms holds a lit taper toward an unseen flame, his other arm extended. Behind him an older man in white dhoti with a red-bordered cloth and a beaded mala sits and lights a small lamp. A brass plate with flowers and small oil lamps sits on a red cloth in front. Two people are visible, with a partially visible third at the bottom edge. The setting suggests a pada puja ritual.2010-11-18 +1 copiesA close photo of an aarti being performed.

The background is blurred orange cloth.2010-11-09A seated man in a rust-orange turban and orange-saffron robe reads from an open book beside a flame in a dark hall. He wears clear-rimmed glasses, a dark beaded mala with gold bead strands across his chest, and wrist beads, with white ash markings on his upper arm. Before him a brass dish holds a small flame, and a brass pot and offerings sit on a wooden platform. Behind him hangs a patterned cloth banner with tassels. Swamiji (probable): the orange turban, saffron robe, rudraksha mala and gold beads fit the presentation described, and he is reading a text during the satsang.2015-11-18December 31 20112011-12-31July 29 20122012-07-29
