A photograph inside a plain room with cream walls, a window with beige curtains, and a ceiling fan. A central figure in a maroon garment with gold border sits on an orange-draped chair, wearing a long red and white flower garland, gold bangles, and a red bindi, holding a silver trident upright. Seated devotees in orange and saffron-coloured robes and rudraksha malas surround a tray with offerings before him. A woman in a white sari with a red blouse and a flower in her hair sits with palms pressed together in prayer, a man in a yellow checked shirt sits in front, and another woman in a red and gold sari sits near the tray. A woman in a maroon outfit stands at the left doorway. Several devotees sit cross-legged on the floor in the background. The setting suggests a puja or darshan ritual.2013-06-23 +2 copiesJune 22 20142014-06-22 +1 copiesJune 23 20132013-06-23 +2 copiesJune 22 20142014-06-22 +1 copiesJuly 07 20142014-07-07 +1 copiesJuly 07 20142014-07-07 +1 copiesA photograph inside a domestic room with wooden cabinets and a framed image on the wall.
