December 22 20102010-12-22Photograph of a stage performance at a celebration, with a red backdrop bearing colourful lettering reading 'anandotsava'. Two women kneel on a red stage floor. The woman on the left wears a white blouse and skirt with a multicoloured striped shawl, a dark bun, and a rudraksha-style bead strand. She holds out a small object toward the seated woman. The woman on the right wears an orange turban, an orange shawl over a cream and gold sari, gold bangles and earrings, and a nose ring.

The scene appears to be a staged ritual-style presentation rather than a verified event.2010-12-22A photograph of a stage event with a bright red and pink backdrop bearing large decorative lettering that reads partly as "...ananda utsava". A young woman in a white kurta with a green, purple and pink bordered shawl and a wooden mala holds a steel tray with a small steel cup and feeds a woman seated in front of her. The seated woman wears a bright orange turban with white dots, an orange and gold silk shawl over a cream and gold sari, a gold nose ring, long gold earrings, a gold necklace and white flower decorations in her hair.
