Himalaya Yatra 2005 Photos +1 copiesMay 25 20052005-05-25A photograph of a puja inside a decorated tent with gold and mirrored fabric walls and ornate red, orange and blue banners. A seated figure in white dhoti and gold-bordered shawl, with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala, pours liquid from a small vessel over a small gold deity murti on a white-draped table, while holding a handbell. Pink lotus flowers stand in vases on either side, and small brass lamps sit on the table. A bearded man in saffron robes sits at the right edge, and several heads of seated devotees are visible in the foreground.
