Outdoor ritual on a green tarpaulin under coconut palms and a bamboo scaffold. A central figure in a red-maroon robe with a red turban and long rudraksha mala raises both arms in blessing, with a wreath of white and red flowers around his shoulders. Beside him, a large copper kalasha with white garlands and flowers stands on a decorated base, and a copper pot with a white cloth sits on top. Around him, several men in red-maroon and saffron robes with gold borders hold flower garlands and brass plates, while a bald man at right holds a plate and a man at left presses his palms together. A yellow water tank and a canopy appear in the background, and a purple logo is visible in the upper left corner.

He wears a white and red-orange flower garland and a rudraksha mala. A second man in a rust dhoti with gold border, bald and wearing glasses, stands behind holding a long red staff and a brass tray. Orange and red flags and a banana plant are visible. The scene suggests a kumbhabhishekam or consecration rite. Candidate for a person by appearance is probable but uncertain given the long-distance view and turban.2014-06-29 +4 copiesJune 29 20142014-06-29June 19 20142014-06-19 +1 copiesOutdoor ritual on a rooftop under bright sun, with palm trees and a yellow water tank behind. A central priest in a maroon dhoti and red turban holds a flaming lamp over a brass kalasha set on a green cloth with flower-decorated base and rangoli. Around him, several men in maroon and saffron-orange dhotis and rudraksha malas hold silver plates of flowers and offerings, and one man in a white turban and white garment stands among them, with one more figure in a white turban behind. Marigold and white flower garlands hang from several. Petals are scattered on the cloth. This appears to be an abhishekam or puja setup. No figure is clearly identifiable as a specific person from appearance alone.2014-06-19June 29 20142014-06-29June 19 20142014-06-19 +1 copiesJune 29 20142014-06-29 +2 copies
