Outdoor ritual scene under a open-sided pavilion with a striped canopy and hanging tassels. A bare-chested man with long dark hair and beard, wearing a red-orange dhoti and a thick red-and-white marigold garland, stands with hands pressed together in namaskar beside a square fire pit (homa kund) with a yellow-trimmed edge. Behind him, rows of devotees in saffron and orange robes and white dhotis stand with folded hands, several holding brass plates of offerings. Young girls in orange and a woman in a purple sari with a handbag stand among them. Decorative parasols in red and yellow hang overhead, with a decorated yellow cart and a kalasha-like pot at right.

A bare-chested man with long dark hair, wearing a rust-red dhoti, a long red-and-white flower garland and a gold pendant, stands at the edge of a stone fire pit with hands folded in namaste. A man in a long rust-red robe and a rudraksha-style mala holds a tall ceremonial parasol. Around them, many devotees in orange and saffron robes, a woman in a purple sari, and a woman in white stand with folded hands; some carry brass plates with flowers and offerings. Colourful decorated umbrellas and fringed banners frame the scene. The man with the long hair and gold pendant matches the page's Swamiji (probable) cues of long hair, ornate clothing and mala, and is shown as the central figure receiving honour during the procession-style ritual.2016-08-27August 27 20162016-08-27March 01 20162016-03-01 +1 copiesOctober 11 20162016-10-11March 01 20162016-03-01October 11 20162016-10-11October 11 20162016-10-11January 01 20172017-01-01October 11 20162016-10-11October 11 20162016-10-11
