Dozens of seated participants on striped mats wear white dhotis, saffron and orange robes, and some have bare upper bodies with sacred threads. A priest in saffron robes stands at the right beside an ornate golden throne draped with garlands and a red cloth. Behind the altar, a decorated deity murti stands on a raised dais, with brass lamps and offerings. Hanging oil lamps light the back of the pavilion, and a large dark stone or metal figure with a patterned shawl sits in the right foreground.2016-02-22 +1 copiesSeptember 17 20172017-09-17
