A photograph of a temple ritual in progress. A figure with long dark hair, wearing an orange-red sari and a thick garland of yellow and purple flowers, sits cross-legged on a patterned mat and holds a brass tray of fruit, bananas, coconut pieces and lit camphor-like offerings. Beside them, a man in orange robes with a shaved head and gold neck ornaments sits with palms joined. Several people in white dhotis and white kurtas stand behind with hands folded, some wearing yellow shawls and rudraksha or bead necklaces. A bare-chested priest in the foreground with a green bead necklace extends his hand toward the tray. The scene suggests a puja or aarti at a temple, with devotees watching attentively.2010-01-08January 08 20102010-01-08August 06 20092009-08-06July 21 20102010-07-21June 27 20142014-06-27August 17 20122012-08-17A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a white-and-pink flower garland sits on a raised orange cushioned seat in a small room with floral floor covering.

Standing attendants in saffron and orange robes with rudraksha malas surround them. Women in white and purple saris stand nearby, one photographer in white shirt holds a camera.
