November 04 20132013-11-04Photograph of a large tiered brick amphitheatre lined with rows of black stone lingam-shaped pedestals, with saffron-robed participants seated on the steps playing long wind instruments held upright. Many rows of seated people in orange and red-orange robes fill the upper and lower tiers, and a chain-link fence with metal posts runs across the foreground. The scene appears to be a ritual musical performance, with the seated players arranged in neat rows along the stepped seating.2013-07-29July 22 20132013-07-22A large outdoor photograph of many saffron-robed devotees seated on red-painted stepped terraces, each step holding rows of black stone shivalingams on square bases. Many of the seated people, including children with shaved heads, play long brass horns (shankhas or trumpets) held to their mouths. Some older adults in orange and maroon robes sit among them. A metal railing and potted plants appear at the left edge. The scene suggests a ritual abhishekam or shiva puja with the lingams being honoured by the assembled group.2013-11-06October 28 20132013-10-28November 11 20132013-11-11October 28 20132013-10-28June 07 20132013-06-07November 04 20132013-11-04A photograph of a large red-brick tiered structure lined with many black stone shivalinga-style bases, with a metal chain-link railing in the foreground.
