Outdoor riverside ritual at a stone ghat on a wide river with hills and town buildings in the background. A monk in an orange knit cap and rust-coloured shawl holds a lit oil lamp aloft toward a row of small deity murtis and kalasha pots decorated with garlands and flowers on a draped altar. A seated priest in rust robes and a turban, with rudraksha beads, presses his palms together beside a fire pit with a burning homa. Devotees sit in rows behind, some in red shawls, with a few standing observers further along the steps.

In the foreground a fire is burning in an orange brick fire pit, with a seated priest in maroon robes and a red turban tending it on the left. On the right, a standing figure in a maroon shawl and bright orange knit cap, with a beaded necklace, holds an offering over the flames, appearing to be a person in an appearance-based sense. Behind the fire, a row of decorated kalasha pots with red and orange cloth and garlands sits on a low platform beside seated devotees. Several people sit on the steps and cushions watching the homa, with others standing along the ghat. Visible people in the image count as roughly a dozen in total.2014-01-19 +1 copiesJanuary 19 20142014-01-19 +1 copiesJanuary 19 20142014-01-19 +2 copiesJanuary 19 20142014-01-19 +1 copiesJanuary 19 20142014-01-19 +1 copiesJanuary 19 20142014-01-19 +1 copiesJanuary 19 20142014-01-19 +1 copiesJanuary 19 20142014-01-19 +1 copiesJanuary 19 20142014-01-19 +1 copies
