A photograph of an indoor ritual space with a seated man in saffron-orange robes and a silver headband with a white floral garland, hand raised to his chin in a contemplative pose, with a rudraksha mala around his neck. Before him is a silver-covered low altar holding small deity figures and garlands, a silver bowl with offerings, green leaves, and a brass lamp. A woman in a rust-red sari stands at right, bent over a large embossed silver vessel. Two more women in red stand in the background beside a wooden cabinet, and carved wooden screens fill the back. Silver bowls, brass pots and leaves are arranged on the floor.

On the left, a man sits cross-legged on the floor wearing a fur-trimmed headpiece, a saffron-brown shawl over bare shoulders, and beaded necklaces, resting his chin on his hand beside a microphone stand and a small brass container. On the right, a woman in a rust-red sari squats beside a large silver-covered vessel emitting steam, stirring a liquid in a shallow silver plate with a ladle. Around her lie several silver platters, a silver lotus-shaped stand, bundles of green leaves, a silver deity figure on a silver pedestal garlanded with marigolds, and a blue pot. Other women in orange robes stand in the background.2017-08-29August 29 20172017-08-29August 29 20172017-08-29August 29 20172017-08-29August 29 20172017-08-29August 29 20172017-08-29August 29 20172017-08-29
