A standing priest in a maroon dhoti and shawl with a beaded garland holds a lit lamp near a gold plate. Several women in maroon and red silk saris sit on low silver-trimmed seats in front of brass plates and offerings, with marigold petals scattered on the floor. Seated devotees in white clothes fill the background, and a cameraman stands at the right. A gold-and-flower decorated object appears at the lower right. This looks like a puja or aarti in progress.2015-10-21 +1 copiesEvening photo of a seated gathering in an open-air courtyard decorated with marigold garlands and string lights. On the left, a figure in a saffron-orange robe sits on a carved wooden throne-like seat with a visible leopard-print cushion; the face is not clearly visible and the figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so this is a person in orange robes on a throne. In front, brass oil lamps stand on a green mat. Dozens of devotees in white dhotis and white kurtas or saris, many wearing lanyards, sit in rows facing the throne, with a few in orange or red clothing. A bright light illuminates the upper centre.2016-01-04October 21 20152015-10-21 +1 copiesOctober 21 20152015-10-21 +1 copiesMay 09th 20162016-05-09October 19 20062006-10-19July 17 20082008-07-17
