Outdoor puja gathering under a green shade net in a dusty courtyard. Dozens of seated participants sit on black mats and white cloths, many men in white dhoti and shawls and others in saffron-orange robes. In the foreground, two men in white dhoti sit on a mat with others. Standing figures in orange robes attend near a whitewashed building with a tiled roof, while a person in white stands beside a tripod-mounted camera. Brass lamps and ritual items are visible at the edge. No figure is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance, so the role is given as devotee and priest.2018-05-24 +1 copiesMay 24 20182018-05-24May 24 20182018-05-24 +1 copiesMay 24 20182018-05-24May 24 20182018-05-24May 24 20182018-05-24 +1 copiesOutdoor gathering under a green mesh tarpaulin strung between trees on bare red earth.
