In the foreground, a bald man with white forehead markings wears a white dhoti and shawl with red borders and a rudraksha mala, his hands joined over a small brass lamp. Beside him, men in white and saffron-orange robes sit cross-legged in line, with others in white garments further along. A video camera on a tripod records the scene at the back left, and cloth banners hang from the upper wall.2010-09-18March 01 20132013-03-01February 26 20132013-02-26May 16 20132013-05-16March 01 20132013-03-01A seated group performs a padapuja-style ritual on a glossy white floor, with brass lamps, small silver-rimmed dishes and flower offerings set on orange cloth mats in long rows. In the foreground, men in white dhotis and shawls with tripundra marks sit cross-legged, one holding a brass vessel, while beside them a man in orange robes with a shaved head kneels with hands folded in prayer. Further back, women in yellow and orange saris and men in white sit in rows facing the ritual space, and a video camera on a tripod stands near the front. The room has red curtains and white chairs along the wall. Whether the orange-robed figure is a person cannot be established from appearance here.2010-09-16January 19 20132013-01-19
