A puja is being performed on a decorated stage with a gold and orange drape backdrop, hanging fabric banners in red, green and orange, and pink and purple lotus flowers in vases on either side. A woman with long dark hair, wearing a white garment with a gold-coloured cloth and a rudraksha mala, sits on a leopard-print cushion ringing a brass bell while holding a lit oil lamp over a small brass deity murti of two figures set on a white-draped table. A bearded man in orange robes sits at the right, seen from behind, and several devotees' heads are visible in the foreground.

Pink lotus flowers stand in vases on either side, and small brass lamps sit on the table. A bearded man in saffron robes sits at the right edge, and several heads of seated devotees are visible in the foreground. The figure is an appearance-based a person, a long-haired figure in white with a rudraksha mala performing the abhishekam.2005-05-23 +1 copiesMay 23 20052005-05-23 +1 copiesMay 23 20052005-05-23 +1 copiesMay 23 20052005-05-23 +1 copiesA seated woman with long dark hair and a white garment pours liquid from a silver vessel into a large silver bowl on a white-draped table, a ritual abhishekam-style offering. Behind her, gold-coloured draped fabric is decorated with mirrored diamond patterns and two ornate red-and-gold canopy panels, with pink lotus flowers in a vase at right. A man in an orange-saffron robe sits at the right edge, and several people's heads are visible in the lower foreground, facing the table.2005-05-25May 23 20052005-05-23May 23 20052005-05-23A photograph inside a tent with orange-gold fabric walls decorated with mirror work. A figure with long dark swept-back hair wears a white garment with an orange-gold border and rudraksha malas around the neck, and reaches toward a brass ritual plate or lamp stand garlanded with red flowers. Pink lotus flowers stand in a vase at right. A bearded man in an orange-robed sannyasi outfit sits at right, and the top of another seated person's head is visible at lower left. Brass vessels sit on a white-covered table in front. The figure's appearance matches the page's claim of Swamiji, with long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and white and gold ceremonial clothing, so the figure is labelled Swamiji (probable) performing a ritual offering.2005-05-25May 23 20052005-05-23 +1 copies
