Beside it sit a silver elephant-trunk ritual implement with a patterned square base and silver bowls and a small silver dish. Behind, a bundle of dry sticks and a yellow cloth stand near red and magenta draped altar items, a brass lamp stand, and a decorated kalasha-like vessel with green leaves and white flower garlands. No people are visible; the scene looks like a prepared puja or homa setup.2013-10-12October 12 20132013-10-12October 12 20132013-10-12September 28 20172017-09-28 +1 copiesOctober 02 20142014-10-02Outdoor ritual at an ashram courtyard with orange-painted buildings and palm trees. In the foreground a man in red-and-gold robes swings a long dark implement over a wooden offering table laden with bananas, pink flowers, brass vessels, a bowl of red petals and a halved white gourd. Behind him, a seated figure in a red-and-gold robe and a long marigold garland sits on an orange throne-like chair, flanked by people in red and orange robes and white dhotis, some raising hands. A framed portrait and a decorated canopy hang above. Yellow marigold garlands drape a brass lamp stand near a wooden structure. Several robed attendants stand nearby.2014-10-02August 24 20062006-08-24December 25 20152015-12-25A photograph of a ritual setup inside a hall with a green backdrop. In the foreground, heaps of dried sticks and bundles of palm-leaf-like material sit on brass and wooden plates alongside a small brass pot, fruit including grapes and banana, white cotton pieces, and a red cloth. Behind them, a silver lotus-shaped vessel with a kalasha-style top stands on a silver pedestal over a red and gold-patterned mat. A carved wooden platform and white draped cloths with gold borders surround it, with a brass kettle-shaped vessel on a white-covered stand to the left. Samagri for a homa or pooja is laid out, and no people are visible.2004-07-02
