Outdoor ceremony beneath a large leafy tree at a dry, bare site. A seated figure in orange-saffron robes and an orange head wrap sits on a low concrete platform, holding a long golden-topped staff upright. Before him a man in a white sleeveless top, blue trousers and a red cap bends to lift or set a stone slab over a square concrete base, while another man in a white shirt helps. Several people in white kurtas and light clothing stand around the edge of the platform, watching. Freshly dug reddish earth lies in the foreground beside a dark bag. Parked cars and scrubby hills are visible behind the group.

2003 -Glimpses From Various Programs2003-01-01Outdoor photo beneath a large spreading tree with green leaves. In the centre, a figure in an orange-saffron robe and matching orange head wrap leans forward, pressing or stirring a long bamboo-like pole into a square concrete base or pit at ground level. Nearby, a man in a red cap and white sleeveless vest watches, and two men in white kurta-style clothing stand behind at a raised concrete platform. Loose red earth, a dug hole and a blue bag lie on the ground. The scene suggests a ritual installation at a sacred tree site, but the figure's identity is not established by visible cues beyond the orange robe and head wrap.2003-04-02 +1 copiesApril 02 20032003-04-02 +1 copies2003 -Glimpses From Various Programs2003-01-01July 25 20072007-07-25A seated man in an orange-saffron robe and matching orange turban sits on a concrete platform on bare earth, holding up a tall golden trident with both hands while his eyes are closed.
