A man in saffron-orange robes with a sacred thread and a long rudraksha mala, bare-chested with a red tilak on his forehead, tips a brass plate of offerings wrapped in red and green cloth toward a fire pit lit by flames. A second man in white dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala kneels behind him. Silver bowls, a silver kalasha and brass vessels sit on the fire platform. A red and gold throne stands to the right, and flowering plants fill the background under a bright floodlight.2012-04-23April 23 20122012-04-23May 03 20122012-05-03April 23 20122012-04-23A man in a red-orange silk robe with gold-bordered drape and a long rust-coloured beaded mala around his neck performs an aarti, holding a silver lamp with a flame in one hand and a silver handbell in the other. He has a red vermilion dot on his forehead and his eyes are lowered. Behind him a golden framed structure sits beneath an orange canopy, and several seated devotees in white and red clothing sit with palms pressed together. A blurred woman in white sits at the left edge. The setting appears to be an evening satsang or puja. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, rust-coloured beaded mala and ceremonial red silk robes, performing aarti as the presiding figure.2013-12-20May 13 20132013-05-13 +1 copiesMay 04 20142014-05-04October 16 20122012-10-16
