Two priests in white dhotis stand at center; the one on the left, holding a tall brass vessel, and the one on the right, bare-chested with a white cloth over one shoulder, raise a lit lamp or ritual object toward the deities. Both are garlanded with white and red-green flower garlands. Behind them stand two ornate deity murti decorated with flower garlands in red, green and white, seated on red velvet and gold thrones, with a gold kalasha-style canopy. In the foreground is a square yagna/homa fire-pit of brick with offerings, brass pots, a small bell and flowers. At left a cameraman films, and several people in white ritual clothes stand in the background near a poster on the wall. A green banana plant and a hanging bell frame the scene.2012-05-02December 24 20142014-12-24March 26 20172017-03-26September 09 20162016-09-09August 14 20162016-08-14February 06 20132013-02-06May 02 20122012-05-02November 06 20112011-11-06November 29 20112011-11-29
