A photograph of a shaved-headed man in a white dhoti and white upper cloth, with white horizontal tripundra lines on his forehead and a small red dot between them, wearing a dark wooden rudraksha mala. His eyes are closed and he appears absorbed in ritual or meditation, possibly during a puja. A young boy with a white forehead marking and red bindi sits with eyes closed beside him, and a partly visible person in white with yellow-edged cloth stands at the left edge. A gold-framed mirror or frame is visible at the right edge against a pale wall. The man's appearance does not clearly match the page's claim of a person's presence, so he is described by role only.2010-10-10A photograph of a ritual scene in a temple-like hall. A shaved-headed man in a white dhoti with a bare upper body wears white horizontal tripundra markings and a red bindi, and a rudraksha mala hangs at his chest. He holds the hand of a young boy in a white embroidered kurta, whose forehead bears white and red marks. Beside them a woman in a white sari with a red border and a dark beaded mala looks down, and an orange-clad figure with a gold necklace stands at the upper left. Brass vessels and pink flowers sit in the foreground, and a gold ornate panel fills the right edge. The setting suggests a puja or ritual with offerings.2010-10-10November 24 20102010-11-24A seated group performs a ritual with silver vessels on a brass tray in the foreground. A man in a white shirt with dark rudraksha-style beads and wire-rimmed glasses holds a small silver cup, while beside him a woman in a light blue salwar and a man in white with a red-brown bead mala and tilak hold silver items. Behind them a woman in a yellow shawl stands with palms joined, a young boy in a pink striped shirt watches with hands clasped, and a priest in white with a sandalwood tilak speaks into a microphone while holding a blue book.
