April 14 20182018-04-14April 14 20182018-04-14A photograph from behind of a figure with long dark hair coiled into a high topknot wrapped with rudraksha mala strands. The person wears a rust-orange sari draped diagonally over the bare back with a gold zari border, a gold waist belt with hanging chains, rudraksha armlets and layered gold necklaces. The background shows yellow marigold garlands and a red and yellow canopy, with a few blurred figures in the distance. The visible person appears to be a female devotee or performer rather than a candidate for the a person role, so no identification is made.2018-04-14April 14 20182018-04-14April 14 20182018-04-14April 14 20182018-04-14April 14 20182018-04-14April 14 20182018-04-14April 14 20182018-04-14Photograph taken from behind of a person with a large coiled black hair bun wrapped with rudraksha beads, wearing an orange and yellow marigold garland and a rudraksha mala draped over the bare shoulder with an orange cloth. Visible through a metal grille are blurred figures in the background, including a bare-backed person and someone in a blue shirt. The figure's face is not visible, so the identity cannot be confirmed from appearance; cues are the hair bun, rudraksha, and marigold garland.2018-03-28 +1 copiesApril 14 20182018-04-14 +1 copiesA photograph from a temple ritual at a shrine decorated with marigold garlands in yellow, orange and green, with offerings and brass vessels on a floral-strewn floor.
