He holds a lit oil lamp in one hand and a brass bell with incense smoke in the other, seated beside a deity murti decorated with white and pink flower garlands and draped in purple and red cloth. A plate of bananas, coconut pieces and lemons sits on the rock, with incense sticks standing nearby. The setting is dark, with wet stone ground.2001-01-012002 - Beautiful Pictures2002 - Beautiful Pictures2002 - Beautiful PicturesA man stands at night beside a row of marigold and mixed flower garlands in yellow, pink, white and orange hanging on a white cloth.

He wears a thick gold-toned bead mala around his neck and a bangle on his raised wrist, holding a small object in the raised hand while his other hand rests over a brass plate of offerings. A brass bell stands at the right edge of the fire pit, and a round metal plate hangs behind him in the dark. The setting suggests a homa or yagna ritual. The white-stone fire pit sits in the foreground, with the flames the brightest element in the frame.2011-10-01
