A row of men in white dhoti and shawl sit cross-legged on mats in a hall, performing a puja. Several have white and red tilak markings on their foreheads, and some wear rudraksha malas. Brass plates and bowls with flowers, yellow powder and fruit, oil lamps and a small brass kalasha are arranged on mats in front of them. Some people hold their hands in anjali, others hold a small lamp or bowl. Behind them, people in yellow and white clothing sit in the background, and a banner or sign is visible at the top left. The scene reflects a ritual padapuja-style ceremony.2010-11-24December 02 20102010-12-02October 13 20102010-10-13 +1 copiesNovember 24 20102010-11-24 +1 copiesSeveral men in plain white dhoti and shawl sit cross-legged on orange mats in a ritual setting, performing puja with small brass oil lamps and brass plates holding flowers, rice and marigold petals on orange cloths.
