A brick fire pit with a bright flame sits at the centre, surrounded by offerings. On the right, a long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes sits with palms pressed together in prayer. Beside them, a man in white ritual clothes sits near the fire. To the left, a child in a red garment sits by the fire, and a young boy in white kneels at the pit. Several other people in white and light clothing sit in the background, and a small oil lamp burns near the front edge. The long-haired figure in saffron robes with a folded-hands posture is a probable Swamiji by appearance, present in person at the fire ritual.2006-02-11May 25 20052005-05-25 +1 copiesJune 23 20132013-06-23 +1 copiesMay 13 20132013-05-13
