Behind the altars, a raised platform is decorated with flower garlands and a red-draped canopy. A man in a bright orange robe with long hair stands centrally with arms outstretched, flanked by several men in white dhotis and orange shawls and women in white saris. A bald man in white kurta and dhoti stands at left, and a partially visible figure holding a small object stands near the center. Banana plants and trees frame the scene. Visible people number around ten.2006-12-22September 29 20062006-09-29March 11 20172017-03-11July 15 20112011-07-15September 03 20072007-09-03March 11 20172017-03-11July 11 20062006-07-11September 09 20162016-09-09December 02 20072007-12-02Outdoor ritual under a tarpaulin canopy on grass, with many women and girls seated in rows on mats behind small brick fire pits. Most wear white clothes with orange shawls draped over their shoulders, and several hold brass bowls or ladles over the pits, apparently for a homa or yagna. Some participants wear white saris with orange shawls, while others in white kurtas sit further back. Bamboo poles hold the canopy, and parked cars and trees are visible in the background. A person in the far back sits under the canopy.2008-11-11
