A photograph of an outdoor temple-style ceremony beside a water tank. On the left, a tall structure is decorated with yellow, orange and purple marigold garlands, with a striped arch and a decorated niche. A raised platform draped in red cloth holds seated priests and participants, including a man in an orange garment and bare-chested men wearing white dhotis. Several people sit on the platform near brass vessels and a red-and-white umbrella. Behind them, a large crowd of seated devotees fills red tiered stone steps beneath a beige wall. The shallow water reflects the structure and the platform.

December 03 20162016-12-03Wide photograph of an outdoor amphitheatre-style setting beside a reflecting pool. In the centre a large rectangular stage draped in red cloth holds seated figures in orange robes and white clothing around a low dais. Behind them stands a tall ornate structure decorated with yellow, orange and white garlands and flowers, shaped like a chariot or ratha with a central framed panel. A woman in a magenta sari stands near the structure. Tiered red seating behind the stage is filled with a large audience of people in white and mixed clothing, and a camera boom extends across the right side. The pool's still water mirrors the stage and garlanded structure. Rituals appear to involve a puja or padapuja setting, though the exact ceremony is not clearly legible.2016-12-03December 03 20162016-12-03December 03 20162016-12-03 +1 copiesA wide photograph of an outdoor ceremonial amphitheatre beside a large rectangular water pool.
