A blurred photograph of a ritual scene filled with drifting white smoke or incense haze. Two bare arms with red and yellow fabric wraps extend from the upper edge, one hand bearing a bangle, while a bright flame glows at the top left. Faint offerings and a metal vessel sit at the lower left near the smoke. The background shows soft, out-of-focus colours of a temple or ashram setting. A faint copyright line appears at the lower right.2016-02-16A photograph in shallow focus showing two lit incense sticks in the foreground, sending up thin smoke. Behind them is a blurred altar arrangement with orange and white flower petals and green leaves scattered on a silver-toned surface. At left, a figure in an orange-brown robe with a gold border stands partly out of frame. Further back, out-of-focus people in orange and green clothing are present. The background is soft bokeh of silver and gold reflections.2012-04-23 +2 copiesDecember 15 20162016-12-15 +1 copiesMarch 06 20182018-03-06January 06 20182018-01-06January 13 20152015-01-13February 16 20162016-02-16 +1 copiesClose-up photograph of two lit incense sticks held in a cupped hand at the lower left, with thin grey-white smoke curling upward through the frame. The background is heavily blurred, showing figures draped in orange-red and saffron cloth, with a glimpse of a skin-toned arm and hand. The scene suggests a devotional offering such as incense during satsang or puja, though no clear ritual action is visible. The blurred figures are too indistinct to count reliably or identify a presentation of a person.2018-03-06Close-up photo of a priest's hand sprinkling dry powder or grains from the fingers over an offering tray during a ritual. The hand wears a gold bangle, and a thick orange-red cloth lies beside the tray. Behind the tray are several polished brass or copper kalasha pots with rounded bodies, and a small bowl holds red and orange offerings. A metal bowl sits at left on a dark surface, with a white cloth under the offerings. The background is blurred and dim, lit by warm lamplight. Only a hand and part of an arm are visible, so no full person can be counted.2011-10-01October 08 20132013-10-08Close-up photograph of a ritual being performed at an altar. A hand holds a silver pot-shaped incense burner or censer releasing wisps of smoke, while another hand holds a small brass oil lamp with a flame on an ornate stand. Beside them lies a garland of red roses, yellow marigolds and white flowers with green leaves, and yellow fruit with leaves. The person wears a gold bangle and a dark beaded mala-like strand, and the background is a blurred temple interior with warm tones.2017-10-15October 01 20112011-10-01
