Photograph taken in a dim, unfinished room with exposed concrete-block walls. A wooden ratha-style chariot with large spoked golden wheels and carved panels stands on the right. In the foreground, a bare-shouldered man with a rudraksha mala and white dhoti with green border faces the chariot; a woman in a white top with a green cloth lifts a hand toward it, and another person in white stands behind. A figure in a brown robe with a headdress stands near the centre. A woman in a red sari with beads sits at left beside a metal vessel. Several people are visible, watching the chariot.2013-10-05October 05 20132013-10-05August 24 20142014-08-24August 06 20142014-08-06August 06 20142014-08-06August 06 20142014-08-06August 06 20142014-08-06August 06 20142014-08-06July 13 20092009-07-13July 13 20092009-07-13Photo of a large workshop filled with gilded temple furniture, including ornate golden arches, a gold-painted throne-like frame, and carved deity statues on shelves and tables. In the foreground a man in a rust-orange robe with a long beard, long dreadlocked hair, and a thick orange-beaded mala necklace stands at a table draped in a pink cloth, speaking with a group. Nearby a man in a white shirt bends over the table, a woman in a yellow top and others in casual clothes listen, and a shaved-headed man in orange beads is seen from behind. A man in white dhoti-style clothing and an orange-robed attendant with a white-and-red shawl stand at left. A wall poster shows a group painting in the background.2017-03-26A photo taken inside a covered storage or preparation hall with corrugated metal roof and orange drapes hung along the right wall. A gilded golden vahana, a carved swan or hamsa-style mount on wheels with a red cushioned seat, stands on the concrete floor in the foreground. Several men gather around it: a man in a white shirt and dhoti with his back to the camera on the left, a barefoot man in a long orange robe with orange shawl in the centre, and a man in orange robes with an orange shawl beside him. Others in white dhotis, a yellow-shawled man, and a man in a light blue shirt stand nearby. Ceremonial banners and poles hang on the left wall. The gilded vahana resembles a hamsa vehicle for procession.2009-12-29
