A man on the left wears a white shirt, black dhoti with a gold-bordered edge, and a dark shawl over his shoulder. Beside him a woman in white clothes and a red shawl leans forward to touch the water, and another woman in white with long dark hair bends toward the surface. Red-painted steps with white railings and pots of plants frame the pool, with other people in red robes visible on the steps behind.2013-11-18Night photograph of devotees seated in a long row along the stone edge of a water tank, performing tharpanam-style offerings with their hands over the water. Most wear white or cream clothing, several wear saffron/orange sarees and dhotis, and a few have red-and-yellow borders. An elderly woman in orange sari sits near the center, with a woman in white with a red bindi beside her. A woman in a red-and-white outfit leans forward at right, and a man in a red garment stands at the far end of the row. Terraced stone steps with potted plants and empty stadium-style seating appear in the background, with lights reflecting on the dark water.2013-12-26August 29 20162016-08-29 +1 copiesDecember 03 20162016-12-03August 14 20172017-08-14February 27 20142014-02-27August 29 20162016-08-29December 26 20132013-12-26January 13 20152015-01-13September 19 20162016-09-19Outdoor ritual scene at a red-brick stepped structure lined with rows of black Shiva lingams on small pedestals and dark stone sculptures. A line of devotees in white and cream dhotis and saris climbs or descends stone steps beside a still water pool, many with palms pressed together in anjali. One figure in a bright orange robe stands at upper right with hands folded, and a child in a yellow sari walks at the lower right edge. Red flags and a white railing run along the steps, and reflections of the white-clad procession shimmer in the water.2017-08-14
