Night outdoor ritual on a raised platform: a fire burns on a golden yellow base in front of a flower-garlanded deity murti arch decorated with marigold and red garlands. A seated priest in white clothes and a rudraksha-style necklace pours offerings into the fire from a bowl, while a man in white seated at left sings or chants into a microphone. Behind them a garlanded goddess figure in white sits with a veena beside a decorated shrine with kalasha-like ornaments. About two dozen devotees sit on the ground in front, women in white, green, red and orange saris and men in orange and white clothes, with drums visible at lower left.

Night-time outdoor ritual on a raised stone platform: a sacred fire burns beside a golden ornate throne draped in red fabric, with a small decorated shrine with flower garlands at left. Several priests in white dhotis and orange shawls sit on the platform performing the rite, while standing attendants in orange and white are at the edges. Seated in front of the platform on striped mats, a large audience of devotees in white, orange and maroon clothing watches, some with hands folded. A golden throne with a red and gold canopy umbrella stands to the right, with a seated figure in orange robes; the figure's appearance is too uncertain to attribute to anyone. Ritual homa with fire and offerings in a temple-like courtyard setting.2016-02-22 +1 copiesJuly 09 20132013-07-09July 04 20132013-07-04July 04 20132013-07-04February 22 20162016-02-22 +1 copiesJuly 09 20132013-07-09July 09 20132013-07-09July 09 20132013-07-09July 09 20132013-07-09July 04 20132013-07-04July 04 20132013-07-04July 09 20132013-07-09 +1 copies
