Front-row priests with shaved heads wear white dhotis with maroon borders and rudraksha malas, hands folded in namaste or pressing palms together in prayer. Brass plates, small oil lamps and flower offerings sit on the mats in front of them. Behind them, seated lay devotees in white shirts, kurtas and casual clothes watch with hands joined, and a few standing men stand at the back near a doorway. No a person candidate is clearly visible, so the a person field is none.2011-02-13A large group of devotees sits cross-legged on a glossy white floor during a ritual gathering. Most men wear white dhotis and shawls with maroon-and-gold borders and rudraksha malas, and several have white sandalwood or vibhuti marks on their foreheads. Brass lamps, small brass plates with offerings, and open books or papers lie before them. Many women in white and coloured saris sit in the background, and the hall is filled with people. A bald man in front, wearing a gold-bordered shawl and a mala, works at a small brass item.2010-10-08A photograph of a large indoor puja gathering seated on the floor of a tiled hall. In the foreground, several men in white dhotis with maroon and gold borders sit with palms pressed together in namaskar, some with bare upper bodies and tripundra marks on their foreheads, one wearing a rudraksha mala.

Behind the front row, many seated devotees, including children and women in colourful clothing, face the same direction. Red curtains hang at the back of the room.2011-08-01October 25 20102010-10-25December 22 20102010-12-22September 12 20102010-09-12October 09 20102010-10-09
