In the foreground, a line of concrete blocks is decorated with marigold petals and red flowers, and a metal rod frame rests on the ground. On a striped multicoloured cloth, a brass plate holds offerings and a floral-garlanded kalasha stands at centre. A young priest with bare upper body, rudraksha malas and orange dhoti stands at right, holding a brass vessel and a lit oil lamp. Behind him stand devotees in orange and saffron robes, a man in white dhoti, and a woman in green sari, with drummers in orange at left. A gold and red throne with a red cushion is partly visible at right, and a canopy with colourful fabric hangs top right.

Outdoor ground-breaking or foundation ritual at a dirt site beside a low concrete wall and palm trees. In the foreground, a row of grey concrete blocks decorated with orange turmeric marks and pink flowers lies beside a deep pit and a metal rod. A striped multicoloured cloth holds a brass plate with flowers and a kalasha-like pot. On the right, a bare-chested man with a rudraksha mala and sandalwood markings holds a silver bowl, and a second priest in orange and gold dhoti stands nearby.

In the foreground, a bare-footed man with long matted dreadlocks and white body markings, wearing an orange dhoti and beaded bangles, pours water from a brass vessel into a freshly dug pit. Beside him, a kneeling man in an orange garment and ornate gold-beaded headdress tends the offerings. Behind, a seated bearded man in a rust-orange robe sits on a golden ornate throne with red cushions under a multicoloured canopy; he is presumably the honoured figure, with his appearance and clothing alone not enough for identification. Nearby stand a row of orange-robed sadhus and several men in white shirts and dhotis. Ritual items include plates of flowers, fruit, a basket, and a folded striped cloth mat. Stacked grey bricks lie to the right.2016-09-15September 15 20162016-09-15October 01 20172017-10-01July 07 20092009-07-07 +1 copiesSeptember 15 20162016-09-15September 15 20162016-09-15Outdoor ground-breaking or foundation ritual on bare red earth in front of a grey concrete-block wall. A seated figure in a golden throne with red cushions and a multicoloured fringed canopy wears a saffron-orange wrap and has long hair and a beard; the appearance is consistent with the page's a person flag but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm, so identity is unsure. Two attendants in saffron-orange dhotis stand to the right, one holding a fan or whisk and a ceremonial gold ornament. Along the left, a line of devotees in white dhotis, white shirts, saffron garments and a woman in a green sari stand with hands folded in namaste. A striped multicoloured cloth is spread on the ground holding brass plates, fruit, flowers, a basket and vessels, and a row of concrete blocks is laid out at right. A red flag flies at the top right.2016-09-15July 07 20092009-07-07 +1 copiesJuly 07 20092009-07-07 +1 copies
