In the foreground a man in white dhoti and shirt sits cross-legged with palms pressed together in namaste, wearing gold bangles. Beside him women in white saris with gold borders and orange-saffron garments sit before low stacked brick platforms set with brass vessels, brass lamps, bowls of yellow flowers and plates of petals and offerings. Behind them rows of seated devotees in white and orange clothing fill a mat-covered ground, with onlookers standing in the background among trees and parked vehicles.2008-11-11Outdoor ritual homa at an ashram courtyard. A large square wooden fire pit with a tall flame sits in the foreground, with a brass kalasha and a small oil lamp nearby. A man in white dhoti and a red turban kneels beside the fire, pouring offerings. Behind him, several young girls in orange and red saris with white jasmine garlands kneel and watch. On the left, a seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a long white and red garland rests in an orange armchair on a striped mat; the figure's appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity. Other robed attendants in saffron and white stand nearby, and a flower-filled plate lies on the mat.2014-10-03October 03 20142014-10-03October 16 20102010-10-16 +1 copiesDecember 14 20112011-12-14 +1 copiesApril 01 20132013-04-01July 11 20142014-07-11Outdoor homa at a brick fire pit.
