A photograph of three men in saffron-orange robes performing a lamp offering during a ritual. The foreground man, bare-armed with white ash lines painted on his arm and gold beads around his neck, extends his hand toward a lit flame. The central man, with a shaved head and a white tilak on his forehead, holds a small brass aarti lamp aloft with a gold bracelet on his wrist. A third man behind them raises his hand near the flame. Smoke drifts through the frame, and blurred offering items and an orange cloth appear at the right edge of a pale pink wall.2011-02-12September 07 20142014-09-07September 06 20122012-09-06July 05 20132013-07-05November 23 20102010-11-23A shaved-headed man in an orange-red robe and saffron-gold shawl holds a brass five-branched lamp with lit flames aloft in both hands, performing aarti.
