Foreground holds clay pots, a brass deity figure holding a lamp on the left, a turmeric-yellow paste in a stone mortar, and a small ceremonial vessel.

A photograph of a ritual preparation scene on a striped cloth mat. In the centre, a shaved-headed man in an orange robe kneels with palms pressed together in prayer, his head bowed. Beside him a young man with long dark hair, a rudraksha mala, white dhoti with gold border and tripundra marks on his forehead and arms sits upright, hands resting on the mat. Around them are clay pots, a stone mortar with yellow powder, a small brass figure holding a lamp, a wooden box with a cylindrical object, and a seated group of saffron-robed devotees in the background. The setting appears to be an outdoor ashram ritual during the preparation of medicinal mixtures.2017-09-07 +1 copiesSeptember 07 20172017-09-07 +1 copiesSeptember 07 20172017-09-07 +1 copiesSeptember 07 20172017-09-07 +1 copiesSeptember 07 20172017-09-07 +1 copiesSeptember 07 20172017-09-07 +1 copiesSeptember 07 20172017-09-07September 07 20172017-09-07 +1 copiesSeptember 07 20172017-09-07 +1 copiesSeptember 07 20172017-09-07September 07 20172017-09-07 +1 copiesA ritual preparation scene on a colourful striped cloth.
