A photograph of a ritual scene under a canopy with a tall wrapped pillar. A seated figure in orange-saffron robes with gold borders and a white forehead band sits on a raised mat, wearing a long garland of white and pink flowers, and holds his hands together over a small offering. Around him lie marigold garlands, bowls of rice and small lamps on a bed of green grass. Standing behind are about a dozen men in orange and saffron robes; one older man on the left wears a red-and-gold beaded necklace and a white forehead marking, and a bearded man in a white turban and orange shirt stands nearby. On the right, a man in white with praying hands and a man with folded hands are visible, and a basket of apples and bananas sits at the lower left.

Marigold flowers, a brass plate, small clay dishes, fruit, and red powder are arranged on the grass before her. Around her, standing men in orange and saffron robes, one with a white turban and another with a beard and rudraksha malas, watch closely, while a man in white holds a tambourine and another in a pink shawl films with a camera at lower right. This appears to be a puja or padapuja scene under a tent-like canopy, with devotees gathered around.2013-02-22February 12 20132013-02-12February 12 20132013-02-12February 22 20132013-02-22February 12 20132013-02-12February 12 20132013-02-12February 12 20132013-02-12February 12 20132013-02-12February 12 20132013-02-12 +1 copies
