A photograph of a temple-style hall during a ritual. In the centre, a man in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with gold borders stands barefoot on a red carpet, wearing a rudraksha mala, a large silver pendant, multiple beaded bracelets, and a white tilak on his forehead. Around him, devotees in saffron and white sit on striped cushions and mats, some holding small brass vessels and offerings on trays. Behind, saffron-robed priests stand near a decorated altar with a golden throne, a deity murti and framed backdrop of a forest-temple scene. A cameraman films the scene, and a projection screen hangs above. Approximately twenty people are visible.2012-10-09A photograph of a temple-style hall with a central man walking forward on a red runner carpet.
