Behind them, a man in a white shirt, a woman in an orange top, and a young person in a yellow t-shirt watch the scene. The central man in white appears to be a priest performing a ritual offering, and the scene has no clearly identifiable a person by appearance.2008-05-03A photo of a devotional offering outside a house entrance with a tiled front step. A woman in a green and pink sari with gold bangles holds out a small brass or metal vessel with yellow flowers and a red flower up to a man in a cream kurta and white dhoti with a rudraksha-style mala, who reaches to receive it. Behind them, several women in orange and purple saris and a man in a light blue shirt stand near the open doorway, with shoes placed on the steps below. The man receiving the offering wears no visible crown, saffron robe or other distinctive a person cues, so no identity is asserted.2008-05-03October 14 20082008-10-14May 03 20082008-05-03A photograph of a group of women in traditional Indian saris standing in a doorway of a house with a staircase behind them. In the foreground, a woman in a white silk sari with a gold border and a red bindi holds a small deity murti wrapped in red and orange cloth. Beside her, a man in white ritual clothing with a garland and rudraksha-style beads holds a small figure. Other women wear orange, yellow, blue, pink and red saris, with gold necklaces and bangles. Some stand with arms folded, forming a line near a white planter with flowering plants on the right.2008-05-11Outdoor photo at a house entrance with a small step and open doorway. A man in a white kurta and white dhoti stands barefoot on the right, holding a brass tray with a red flower and yellow flowers while a woman in a pink and green sari reaches to receive it. Around them, several people in saris and casual clothes stand on a lawn: a woman in an orange and gold sari, a woman in a magenta sari, a man in a blue and white striped kurta with white dhoti, and children in cream and yellow outfits. Shoes are placed on the grass near the steps. The man in white could be a candidate for a person by appearance, but the white ritual clothing alone is insufficient, so the identity is uncertain and he is described by role as the man presenting the tray.2008-05-03May 03 20082008-05-03October 14 20082008-10-14October 14 20082008-10-14May 03 20082008-05-03
