In the foreground a man with white vibhuti on his forehead and a brown rudraksha mala holds his hands together and faces left, while a woman with white forehead markings and bangles raises her hands. Beside them a seated man in white with a gold-bordered cloth bows, and a younger man in white with gold trim leans forward. Brass or gold ritual vessels sit on a table in the background, along with other seated participants.2017-06-17June 17 20172017-06-17A photograph of a seated puja on a dark stage. A large gilded ornate throne-like structure with a golden arched backdrop stands at left, lit brightly, holding a deity murti. In front, many people sit on white cloth in white and orange-red clothes, with rudraksha-style red garlands. A man in a white dhoti and orange sash sits near the centre, a woman in red and gold sits at the front, and a young girl in orange stands near the lower centre. Brass bowls, green leaf plates with fruit, and small offering dishes lie on the white cloth. A man in a white shirt sits at the lower left, and a shaved-headed attendant in orange and white is at the far left.2012-12-20A photograph of seated devotees at a ceremony, with a woman in the foreground wearing an orange silk sari with gold zari border and gold bangles on her wrists, her hands clasped in her lap. Behind her a man in a cream kurta with a red-and-white beaded cord and wristwatch sits looking forward. Other seated attendees in white and pink traditional dress fill the background, with white cloth covering the floor and a dark object at left edge.2012-12-20A seated figure on a gold-and-red throne with long dark hair, a white flower garland and a multicoloured garland, wearing an orange cloth, hands extended to accept a folded paper from a man in a white shirt who kneels with palms joined. Nearby, a shaved-headed man in orange cloth and a white-clad man wearing a rudraksha mala and gold-bordered dhoti stand on a red carpet under a red tent. Women in cream and white saris with red-bordered shawls stand in the background, and a stack of printed booklets lies on the gold throne arm. The scene reads as a darshan line inside a tent, with a gold lion-headed armrest in the foreground.2016-05-02October 06 20142014-10-06October 18 20152015-10-18
