A photograph taken in a doorway of a building with a green-and-orange signboard above. A bald man with a shaved head, wearing an orange-saffron dhoti and an orange shawl, stands at left holding a cord or garland with both hands. Beside him, a woman in an orange sari with a red blouse holds a metal plate and looks toward the doorway. Behind them, two more people in orange clothing are partly visible in a dim interior, with a pillar and a cloth-covered area nearby. The scene looks like a ritual preparation in a temple or ashram setting.

A photograph of a temple ritual in a dimly lit inner sanctum. A bare-chested priest in a yellow dhoti stands on the right with a sacred thread, looking toward a seated devotee in orange cloth who bows forward, head lowered, toward a figure at left. Several people in saffron and white stand nearby. Oil lamps, a brass vessel and floral offerings sit on a low stone platform, with a deity murti partly visible behind them. The scene suggests a puja or abhishekam performed with close attention to the seated devotee.2012-08-20May 18 20122012-05-18 +1 copiesMay 16 20122012-05-16May 18 20122012-05-18 +1 copiesMay 18 20122012-05-18 +1 copiesMay 18 20122012-05-18 +1 copiesMay 18 20122012-05-18 +1 copiesTwo women in orange-red saris with gold borders stand in a stone-walled passage, one with hands raised to her head in prayer.
