A photograph of a ritual scene in a hall with red drapes and a wooden wall backdrop. Several young people wearing orange saffron dhotis and shawls with gold borders stand in a line, many with rudraksha malas and beaded necklaces, some with sandalwood or ash marks on their foreheads. Several of them hold food offerings in their hands. Along the foreground, banana-leaf plates of food and water bottles are laid out on white cloths. A large golden trident stands against the wall at right, and a golden ornamental object is visible behind the group.2016-03-30February 23 20162016-02-23May 25 20132013-05-25May 25 20132013-05-25August 14 20172017-08-14February 23 20162016-02-23July 03 20172017-07-03 +1 copiesSeptember 19 20172017-09-19 +1 copiesA group of saffron-robed young monks and older sannyasis stand in a long line inside a hall with cream-coloured draped ceiling fabric and tall decorative striped pillars. Several boys with shaved heads wear orange dhotis and rudraksha malas, and they hold small portions of food in their cupped hands, lifting them toward the mouths of the men beside them who are feeding each other in turn. Several banana leaf plates with rice, sweets and fruit sit on the floor in front. An older man in an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala stands at the right edge smiling, and the men wear white tilak markings on their foreheads and arms. Multiple people in the scene, nothing appears to be a portrait or screen.2012-04-23 +2 copiesAnnadhan in 20132013-01-01 +1 copiesA line of shaved-headed men in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls stands barefoot on a mat in a temple hall, several holding banana-leaf plates of food, apparently preparing to offer naivedyam. Many wear rudraksha malas and white markings on their chests and arms, and one wears an orange turban. A small child in orange stands among them. Other saffron-clad attendees are visible at the right, and a large red-orange backdrop and a golden shrine canopy frame the scene. Floor trays with small brass cups and food portions lie in front of the line.2017-08-14A photograph of a crowded hall during a Maheshwara Puja style offering, with a long white cloth laid along the floor holding leaf plates, small cups and water bottles. Many devotees in saffron and orange robes, some with gold borders, rudraksha malas and bangles, stand and bend along the cloth. A man in maroon and gold dhoti-style cloth and bare-chested devotees fill the frame, and a woman in yellow kneels at the left. Several devotees are foreground, with orange shawls and rudraksha beads, and a young man in the lower right wears a white necklace. No single identifiable a person figure is clearly visible, so the a person field is set to unsure.2016-02-23
