A photograph taken inside a dimly lit, tent-like temporary structure with maroon curtains and a black backdrop. In the foreground, a woman in a white dhoti with gold borders and red-brown beaded jewelry pulls back a maroon curtain; her arm bears bangles and she wears earrings. Two men in white dhotis with gold borders, one with an orange shoulder bag, stand with their backs to the camera. Further back, an elderly bearded man wearing an orange turban, orange robe and a long beaded orange-and-gold necklace walks along the passage, with other figures in orange and saffron robes beyond him near a doorway. A low table draped in red and a small brass-coloured object sit on the left.

September 14 20152015-09-14May 11 20122012-05-11Photograph of a procession walking along a red carpet through a stone temple doorway with ornate painted gopuram-style carvings above. In the foreground a bald man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl wears a long beaded garland and a blue object in his hand. Beside him a man in white shirt and white dhoti with gold border wears a rudraksha mala and a red tilak mark. Behind them, men in orange robes and garlands walk, and men in white shirts and white dhotis stand to the left and right. A man in white with a rudraksha mala is at the right edge. The person in saffron with the long beaded garland has no clearly distinctive presentation cues beyond saffron clothing, so the identity remains uncertain.2012-05-07May 21 20122012-05-21April 11 20122012-04-11A photograph inside a stone temple passage with carved sandstone pillars and dark wooden doorframes. Several shaved-headed men in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls, with rudraksha malas, stand close together near a doorway. Beside them, men in white dhotis with golden borders carry cloth bags and a yellow bag, while one in a white dhoti and bare chest holds a small brass vessel near a shrine opening. The scene suggests a temple ritual, with the group crowding toward the inner sanctum.2012-05-21September 15 20152015-09-15September 20 20152015-09-20May 22 20122012-05-22 +1 copiesSeptember 14 20152015-09-14May 07 20122012-05-07A photograph of a ritual scene on a red carpet inside a hall.
