Two shaved-headed men in saffron-orange robes sit cross-legged on a white floor in a bare indoor room, conversing closely. The man on the left, wearing a rudraksha mala and a red tilak on his forehead, gestures with his right hand over a steel plate holding food and small white cups. The man on the right, with white horizontal stripes on his forehead and arms and an orange beaded necklace with a rudraksha mala, leans toward him attentively. A tripod and a power strip sit in the background, with more seated people partly visible at the right edge.

Behind them, more orange-clad devotees sit on mats, some with brass plates and lamps in front of them, and a woman in a white sari sits at right. Gold ornaments and bangles are visible on several arms. The scene reads as a ceremonial sitting with ritual implements.2013-03-13April 14 20132013-04-14Three men in saffron-orange sleeveless robes stand in a bright hall. The two on the left and right, with white horizontal vibhuti stripes across their foreheads and rudraksha malas around their necks, hold handfuls of cooked yellow rice with green herbs. The man on the right offers rice toward the bare shoulder of a shaved-headed young boy in orange in the centre, who faces away from the camera. Seated devotees in orange and red are visible at the lower edges, and a yellow banner hangs in the upper background. The scene looks like prasad being distributed during a ritual.2014-09-13April 01 20132013-04-01October 04 20132013-10-04
