November 10 20132013-11-10A seated meal in a large hall with white marble floor. Rows of monks and nuns in saffron-orange robes sit cross-legged on both sides, each before a banana-leaf plate of food with paper cups of water. In the centre, two people in plain white clothing sit facing a central figure on a golden throne-like seat, backed by a red and gold shrine with standing deity figures and a framed portrait. A figure in orange sits near the throne. Brass lamps and offerings are visible, along with a stage area and several people standing at the edges. The scene suggests a communal food offering in a temple hall.2013-10-04 +1 copiesAugust 02 20162016-08-02August 02 20162016-08-02April 23 20132013-04-23 +2 copiesWide photograph of an indoor hall where two long rows of saffron-robed devotees sit cross-legged on the floor facing a central ritual area.

A multicoloured striped mat lies in the open floor space. At the far end, an ornate golden throne-like altar stands with umbrellas, a golden peacock figure, gilded deity statues and lion figures. Two large screens show a portrait of a man in red. A figure in a purple garment stands near the altar and a man kneels in the foreground.
