A ritual scene in a temple hall with a painted blue and pink backdrop and gold-decorated pillars. A man in a white dhoti and orange-gold shawl, with white and grey vertical tilaka marks on his chest and forehead, holds a yellow cloth tray with fruit toward a young man in a red-orange turban and red-gold shawl who holds a bundled staff wrapped in green and orange cloth. A third man stands at left in a blue shawl, and a fourth at right holds a bowl of red apples and pineapple beside a gold throne with a red cushion. A brass oil lamp burns at lower left, and a golden deity murti stands in the background. The scene appears to be a puja offering.2013-08-13August 13 20132013-08-13August 13 20132013-08-13August 13 20132013-08-13November 27 20112011-11-27August 13 20132013-08-13August 13 20132013-08-13August 13 20132013-08-13A photograph of a ceremony in a decorated tent with a golden backdrop. On the right, a person with long swept-back dark hair, a red and red-orange bordered cloth and a thick red flower garland stands barefoot, smiling as they offer a brass vessel to an elderly man with white hair and a white beard. The elderly man wears a saffron-orange robe and a saffron shawl and places his hands together over his chest. Behind them, men in white and yellow ritual dress with tilak markings and beaded necklaces stand near a glittering golden shrine, and a red-cloth-covered table holds offerings. The mood is a devotional ritual exchange.2016-01-03August 13 20132013-08-13A photo of three men in a temple-style hall with a gilded throne and wooden carved doors behind them. On the right, a man in an orange-red turban and a red-and-gold silk shawl, with a long striped garland of green, blue and orange cloth draped over his shoulder, holds up a small pink printed card and looks down at it. Beside him, an older man with a white beard and white forehead markings wears an orange-gold shawl and holds a folded yellow cloth in both hands. At the left, a younger man with his hair tied in a bun, bare-chested and marked with white ash stripes, wears a blue shawl over white dhoti and a red thread around his neck, listening. A brass oil lamp stands at the left edge. A probable Swamiji (a turban and shawl with gold-and-red ceremonial dress) is the man holding the pink card, and his presence is visible here.2013-08-13August 09 20152015-08-09
