A bald man in a pale peach dhoti with a gold border and a gold-bead mala with a pendant stands barefoot on a concrete courtyard, holding a silver plate with a lit multi-wick aarti lamp in one hand and a small bell in the other. Before him on an orange-and-yellow cloth are hundreds of small white clay or cone-shaped offerings each topped with red flowers, arranged in rows. Nearby, a brass lamp with a flame, a tray of red rose petals, a bundle of green leaves and incense sticks sit on a low wooden platform, with smoke rising. Behind is a red-and-white painted wall with a board listing donors who built the Ananda Sabha. A second person in white stands partially visible at the left edge. This appears to be an aarti offering ritual.

A shaven-headed priest in white dhoti and shawl with a red-and-gold trim sits cross-legged on a low wooden platform in a courtyard, holding incense sticks with rising smoke. Beaded rudraksha-style mala necklaces hang at his chest. Before him sit a small brass lamp, a brass cup, a tray of red flower petals and a silver lamp stand. The ground in the foreground is covered with rows of small white and red flower offerings on orange cloth. Behind him, a red-and-white striped wall, a potted palm and a bag are visible, and a woman in a white sari stands in a doorway at left. The priest's appearance does not clearly match the page's description, so he is described only as a priest performing a puja-style offering.2011-12-01December 01 20112011-12-01December 01 20092009-12-01 +1 copiesA shaved-headed priest in white dhoti and white upper cloth, wearing a large rudraksha-style bead mala with a gold pendant, sits cross-legged on a low wooden seat in a courtyard and holds a flower-tipped offering stick while smoke rises.

Before him on the ground is a large carpet of red and white flower petals, with a tray of red flowers, a brass plate, a small lamp and a bundle of grass. Behind him is an orange and white striped wall, a black board with names, a potted palm and a banana plant. The priest appears to be a devotee or priest rather than the figure referenced in the page, so the appearance does not establish identity.2011-12-01July 21 20102010-07-21A photograph of a group chanting at a seated ritual on an orange and purple mat. In the foreground, a shaved-headed man in white dhoti with white and red-striped cloth, gold necklace, and white forehead and arm markings chants into a microphone. Beside him, another man in white with a gold necklace and red tilak reads from an open blue book on a gold stand. Behind them, several men in white cloths sit with palms pressed together, and a man in a patterned white shirt joins with folded hands on the right. Incense smoke rises at right, near a brass vessel and a red-and-white striped wall with a framed board. The setting resembles a padapuja-style gathering; no one identifiable as a person is clearly present.2010-09-14December 01 20112011-12-01A homa fire ritual in an open courtyard.

The man at left sits beside many small brass dishes of offerings and herbs laid out on the cloth. Behind them, a red velvet throne-style chair with gold trim holds a framed portrait of a figure in orange robes, a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, garlanded with red and green leaves.

A striped wall and an orange cloth hanging are behind.2010-06-07December 28 20112011-12-28Photo of a seated man in saffron-orange robes and a heavy gold bead necklace, eyes closed in meditation, with white sacred ash marks on his forehead and arm, before a golden square vessel heaped with grains and a red cloth-wrapped object. Two attendants in white dhotis and yellow shawls stand by, one holding a brass plate of offerings, while a man in a red shawl and another in white walk nearby. A wall plaque lists donors and the year 2005 beside a hanging bell and a clock. Appears to be a ritual abhishekam-style offering at a temple. The seated central figure has long swept-back hair and rudraksha-style gold beads, a probable match to a person on the page, though identity is uncertain from appearance alone.2010-07-21A seated priest in a white dhoti and yellow shawl performs a homa at a small fire pit with burning wood and flames.
