March 28 20182018-03-28 +1 copiesMay 25 20132013-05-25A close photograph of a ritual lit with a flame. Hands in orange saffron robes and red-and-gold garments hold a lit wick or lamp over a metal plate heaped with rose petals and yellow marigold flowers, with a red cloth beneath. Orange cloth dominates the left side and a red garment with gold border the right. Offerings and a flame suggest an aarti or puja. No faces are visible; the figures are seen only from the hands down.2015-09-14December 26 20112011-12-26December 26 20112011-12-26Close view of a shrine niche densely decorated with red flowers, orange marigolds, white and yellow blossoms strung into garlands, and loose red petals heaped over a dark red stone surface. In the right foreground, the blurred forearm of a person wearing a beaded rudraksha bracelet is visible. No face is shown and no readable names appear on the shrine itself, so this is a flower-decorated deity or altar setting.2018-03-28 +1 copiesSeptember 14 20152015-09-14Close-up photograph of a person's bare feet in a ritual setting. The feet bear a red dot, possibly a kumkum or sindoor mark, and toes with reddish nail polish or henna. Above, a golden-yellow silk garment with a red border and gold embroidery is visible. In the foreground, a silver puja thali holds a large red hibiscus flower, a yellow-orange rose, red flower petals and blades of green grass, alongside silver ritual vessels and dishes. The setting suggests padapuja, a ritual honouring of the feet, though no person's face is shown.2013-09-08 +1 copiesSeptember 08 20132013-09-08 +1 copiesDecember 14 20132013-12-14November 23 20092009-11-23Close-up of a puja tray in silver with a red hibiscus flower resting on a silver conch or shell-shaped vessel, a small orange rose and green grass blade beside it.
