A hand in an orange sleeve pours water from a silver conch-shaped vessel onto a golden Sri Chakra meru, a tiered pyramid-shaped yantra on a round golden base. Beside it stands a gilded standing deity murti holding a lotus-like object, with a white flower at its feet, all set on an ornately carved wooden tray. A red flower lies on the tray. Seated devotees in orange robes and other clothing are blurred in the background.2008-07-03June 01 20062006-06-01 +1 copiesMay 21 20062006-05-21A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a matching orange head covering and a long necklace of rudraksha beads and gold pendants performs a ritual at a copper-colored metal yantra-shaped structure set on a wooden stand with red trim.
