Annadhan in 20142014-01-01A seated devotional gathering in a carpeted hall where a shaved-headed priest in a saffron-orange cloth kneels before a silver bowl of food placed on a banana leaf. A man in an orange-red robe with a gold necklace, seated on a low wooden chair beside a silver-framed backrest, extends his hand toward the bowl while a yellow fringed umbrella stands at right. Several saffron-clad monks sit with hands folded in namaste on mats behind rows of banana-leaf thalis, and about a hundred devotees in white and orange clothes sit cross-legged in the background. The chair occupant is a seated figure with a presentation consistent with the page's reference to a person, though not with distinctive enough cues to confirm.2014-03-15Annadhan in 20142014-01-01 +1 copiesInterior hall during a seated ritual meal offering.
