December 28 20112011-12-28December 01 20112011-12-01A photograph of a priest seated cross-legged on a low wooden platform in a courtyard, wearing a white dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha-style bead necklace and bracelets. He holds a small fire lamp in one hand and a dark kalasha-like vessel in the other, with smoke rising. Beside him are brass ritual items, a metal plate of red flowers and a bundle of grass. In front of him, on an orange cloth, hundreds of small white cone-shaped offerings are decorated with red flowers. A potted palm and red-striped pillars frame the scene, with brass vessels on a shelf behind. The priest's face is partly turned and his features are not clear enough to confirm any identity.2011-12-01August 09 20152015-08-09January 14 20182018-01-14 +1 copiesClose-up photo of ritual puja items on a red cloth with an orange silk runner.
