A photograph of a group of people in orange shawls seated outdoors on a white tiled terrace beside a grey rock, appearing to serve food. In the foreground a person bent forward in an orange shawl and white dhoti pours rice from a steel pot into a metal plate held by a man in orange shawl and white trousers. Beside him a smiling man with long dark hair and an orange wrap sits on the ground, with a second orange-clad person to the left. Behind them more people in orange shawls sit on a stone bench and on rocks, some with orange caps, and a red cooler and steel vessels lie on the terrace.2006-06-01March 10 20132013-03-10July 12 20062006-07-12July 21 20102010-07-21Photograph of a homa at an outdoor temple setting. A long-haired person in saffron/orange robes with rudraksha beads kneels by a stone fire pit, pouring liquid from a silver vessel into the ritual area, while a man in orange clothing beside him reaches toward a brass tray filled with yellow offerings. Brass lamps and small metal vessels sit on a wooden stand, and a crowd of devotees in orange shawls and white and red clothing sits and stands behind a row of tall ceremonial poles, some wearing orange caps.
