A photograph of a ritual at night before a large seated audience. A standing man in a red-maroon robe and orange shawl holds a red cloth over his head with both hands, his face partly covered. He wears a long necklace of gold and beaded strands with a pendant, and bangles on his wrists. In front of him is an altar draped in white and silver cloth, topped with coconuts, mango leaves, straw bindings, marigold and rose garlands, and rudraksha malas. More coconuts sit in brass bowls at the front and on the right. Behind them, many people sit closely in the dark, including an elderly woman in white with orange tilak at the left. This appears to be a coconut-and-garland puja or abhishekam offering, shown from a close angle.

Night ritual at an outdoor fire pit. A central figure with a shaved head, red-and-gold vibhuti marking on the forehead, a large yellow-and-white flower garland and a red shawl over a red-and-leopard-print garment sits on a low gilded stool, holding a ritual implement toward the flames. Flames rise from a yellow brick fire pit in the foreground. Behind, a seated audience in white and red-brown shawls and saffron clothing listens, some with hands folded in prayer. To the right, a red-draped table holds decorated coconuts, garlands and ornamental offerings. The scene suggests a homa or fire ritual.2014-05-20A man in an orange-red turban and matching saffron-red dhoti-style wrap with a gold border tends a large fire at a homa. He wears a rudraksha mala and heavy gold beaded necklaces, with bead bracelets on his wrists and a red bindi on his forehead. Bright flames rise from a brick fire pit in front of him, and a copper pot sits to the side. The setting is dark and smoky, with the figure lit mainly by the fire.2014-01-05May 12 20142014-05-12May 21 20142014-05-21July 18 20162016-07-18A photograph of a ritual at a ceremony. In the centre, a figure in a deep red turban and dark red robe, wearing a long gold-beaded necklace and bangles, kneels and reaches toward a brass plate holding a coconut and flower petals. Several coconuts wrapped in blue, green and black cloth lie on the ground with scattered flowers and grains. Around them stand people in saffron and orange robes with hands folded, a figure in white dhoti and kurta, and a person in a pink dhoti and yellow cloth at the left edge. This appears to be a coconut puja offering within a ritual gathering.2015-01-13April 11 20182018-04-11 +1 copiesNovember 25 20152015-11-25October 29 20162016-10-29Night outdoor ritual on a lawn in an evening setting.
