Some wear white vibhuti stripes on their arms and bodies, and several have long dreadlocked hair. Brass pots and small offering plates sit on the mats in front, and a large red-and-white deity image hangs on the far wall. A tripod-mounted camera stands at the left edge. Several people are visible in the background, and white-clad helpers stand near the walls.2017-07-02June 01 20172017-06-01July 27 20172017-07-27 +1 copiesJuly 01 20172017-07-01 +1 copiesJuly 27 20172017-07-27June 01 20172017-06-01 +1 copiesJuly 01 20172017-07-01 +1 copiesJuly 01 20172017-07-01 +1 copiesA photograph inside an open-sided hall with a corrugated metal roof and orange-washed walls, showing rows of seated devotees on woven mats performing a ritual.
