Outdoor photo under a corrugated metal roof beside a large tree at a construction site. Two women stand on the left, one in an orange sari with rudraksha mala and one in a dark maroon sari with a bun and gold necklace. Beside a cut-out cardboard figure of a seated saffron-robed holy figure with a turban and garland, a shirtless man in a white dhoti with tilak and rudraksha beads stands, with five men in casual clothes at right. A brass oil lamp stand and a low platform with flowers and offerings sit in front of the figure. The cut-out is a depiction, not a physical person.

A photograph of three people performing a puja outdoors under a corrugated metal shelter beside a large tree trunk. A bare-chested man in a white dhoti with a patterned border and a rudraksha mala stands at left, holding a small object. Two women face the altar: one in an orange saree and one in a rust-red saree, the rust-red saree figure extending a hand toward a cut-out figure. A large standing cut-out portrait of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes, with a crown-like headdress, a garland, gold necklaces and raised hand, stands on an ornate stone pedestal. In front is a brass plate with banana, coconut halves and fruit on a colourful cloth, plus a small brass lamp and kalasha. Concrete block walls and dry ground surround the scene.2019-03-25Outdoor ritual scene beneath a large banyan tree with aerial roots. A long-haired man in a rust-red dhoti and bare chest, with a white tilak on his forehead, stands at centre with palms pressed together in anjali, wearing gold armlets and a gold necklace. Behind him, several men in saffron-orange dhotis, some with rudraksha malas, hold offering trays with flowers and fruit. On the left, women in white saris and a red-bordered sari stand with hands folded. A multicoloured fringed umbrella shades the scene. On the right, a large black deity murti with a golden ornate base is adorned with white garlands and a gold-and-red cloth, a black cobra-shaped stone sits on a red base, and flower petals are scattered on the ground. The setting suggests a puja offering.2016-08-02February 01 20182018-02-01December 22 20182018-12-22 +1 copiesPhoto 11680966February 01 20182018-02-01October 22 20172017-10-22Five men stand in a row on a dirt ground in front of a pile of broken rubble and stacked red bricks, with palm trees and a pale wall behind them. On the far left a man in a white dhoti and shirt stands with hands at his sides. Next to him a young sannyasi in saffron robe and orange shawl wears a rudraksha mala and sandals. The bare-chested older man beside him wears an orange cloth and a long sacred thread, with a rudraksha mala around his neck, and his face is bearded and balding. The man at right of centre wears a saffron robe, a yellow-brown turban and a rudraksha mala, with a long grey beard. On the far right a man in a white checked shirt and dark trousers stands at the edge. A man in a white shirt stands partly visible in the background above the rubble. The scene looks like a casual outdoor gathering at a construction site.June 06 20142014-06-06October 24 20082008-10-24June 07 20162016-06-07June 07 20162016-06-07 +2 copies
