A bearded man with long swept-back hair in a reddish-brown dhoti-style garment, wearing a white and pink flower garland, layered gold necklaces and gold armbands, holds a small brass bell and a plate of ritual items while standing in front of a black mat. Around him, devotees in orange and saffron cloth, a woman in a yellow sari, another woman in green and yellow, and a bald man in an orange dhoti stand with palms pressed together in namaskar. The setting suggests a puja or abhishekam at an outdoor shrine. The man's appearance with long hair, gold ornaments and garland gives a probable identification as a person, performing the ritual with the bell and plate.2016-12-23November 11 20172017-11-11March 11 20172017-03-11July 09 20172017-07-09A procession on a cloth-covered path under large banyan-type trees. A central man with a tall dark turban-style headdress wears a rust-red dhoti and a long red-and-white flower garland, with gold armbands and a gold necklace, and walks forward while a woman in orange robes beside him reaches toward him. Behind him women in orange saris and white-and-gold saris carry brass kalasha pots with flower arrangements. Two men in white dhotis with rudraksha malas, one holding a trident-like staff, walk at the left. Above them a red, yellow and multicolour ceremonial umbrella and yellow-orange flags with emblems are carried in the procession, and a metal railing lines the path.2016-07-19March 10 20132013-03-10
