A photograph of an indoor puja in a small room with pale pink walls. A man in white clothes holds a lit camphor flame toward a seated figure wearing an orange robe and a white-and-green flower garland, hands pressed together in prayer with eyes closed. A woman in a white sari with a gold border kneels beside him and holds a small brass vessel. Fruit trays, banana leaves, and brass bowls are arranged on a striped mat in front. Around the room, about twenty devotees stand and sit with hands folded in namaskar. The flame and offerings suggest an aarti and padapuja. The seated orange-clad figure may be a person, shown by long swept-back hair, an orange robe, and a garland, but the face is not clearly visible enough to confirm.

August 08 20092009-08-08August 08 20092009-08-08A photograph of a padapuja-style ritual in a bright, plainly furnished room with pale pink walls and a window. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes, a white jasmine and green-grape garland, and hands folded in prayer sits on a white cushioned seat at the right; the figure has short dark hair and a person appearance, though this is uncertain from the image. Facing them, a man in white dhoti and shirt holds a lit oil lamp and a plate, while a woman in a white sari with a gold border sits beside him. Other women in white and orange saris, and standing men and women along the back wall, watch with hands pressed together. Fruit, flowers and brass vessels sit on a striped cloth in front of the group. About 25 people are visible.2009-08-08August 08 20092009-08-08August 08 20092009-08-08August 08 20092009-08-08August 08 20092009-08-08July 01 20142014-07-01July 02 20142014-07-02 +1 copiesJune 27 20142014-06-27July 04 20142014-07-04 +1 copiesA photograph of a ritual reception in a pink-walled room with a shelf of framed pictures. A man seated on a cushioned chair at left wears a white-and-red flower garland, orange-red cloth, gold armlets and a long swept-back hairstyle; his appearance is consistent with the a person cues described in the page, so this is a probable identification. Two young boys in orange robes and rudraksha malas stand behind him, and a seated man in white clothes holds a lit oil lamp flame in an aarti offering while a woman in white and a dark-haired woman in orange-yellow watch. Standing devotees in white and a monk in orange with rudraksha malas press palms together around the room, and a tray of flower petals sits in the foreground.2014-07-02 +2 copies
