He wears white and gold-bordered dhoti-style cloth, a brown rudraksha mala around his neck, white sacred ash horizontal lines on his forehead and chest, and a dark kumkum dot between his brows. Behind him, figures in orange robes hold similar golden vessels, and a small brass lamp and pink flower petals lie near the stone. The scene suggests a temple abhishekam ritual with a Shiva linga, though only the boy's action is clearly visible.2017-07-31July 09 20122012-07-09November 25 20102010-11-25A photograph of a group seated cross-legged on colourful striped mats during a group study or chanting session.

Beside her, a boy with bare shoulders and a gold-bordered white dhoti sits in the foreground, and a man in white shirt holds a loose sheet of paper. Behind them an adult in white dhoti with gold border stands, and another seated boy appears at the back right near wooden chairs.2017-07-08July 20 20172017-07-20June 24 20132013-06-24A young girl with long dark hair sits cross-legged on an orange cloth in a hall, wearing an orange long-sleeved top under a green checked pinafore dress, and carefully handles small items from a red wooden box with a circular red-and-gold design. Beside her, a woman in a cream sari with yellow floral print and a dark rudraksha mala sits with hands in prayer pose, a red dot on her forehead. Behind them, seated devotees in white and pink clothing sit on mats, with brass plates, bowls and ritual objects on the floor and a pair of headphones on the right. Small offerings and a sealed plastic container are visible on the cloth.2010-11-13A young girl in a red long-sleeved top and white cotton pants sits cross-legged on a purple mat, raising a lit oil lamp in her right hand while a woman in white chikankari kurta and a dark beaded necklace sits beside her.

No a person candidate is clearly visible.2010-11-25A young boy in a white embroidered kurta stands in profile with his palms pressed together in anjali mudra, eyes lowered in prayer. Behind him a woman in a green sari and a person in dark hair are partly visible, and a silver ritual plate or vessel sits at the lower left edge. The blurred background suggests an indoor devotional gathering. No identifiable a person figure is visible in the frame.2011-09-15
