Women in saffron-orange sarees with yellow borders and rudraksha malas sit in a row on red stone steps, performing a Rudrabhishekam-style ritual. Each holds a small brass oil lamp or bell-like vessel while seated before rows of black stone shivalinga with pink flower offerings on top. White tilak marks decorate some foreheads, and a pink marker and blurred figures appear in the background.2013-06-08July 17 20172017-07-17 +1 copiesAugust 02 20132013-08-02June 04 20132013-06-04June 03 20132013-06-03Several women sit closely together indoors in orange and rust-red saris with gold-bordered edges, many wearing long rudraksha malas.

Several women in saffron-orange robes sit in a row, holding long brass horns or trumpets; one woman in the foreground-left has long dark hair and wears rudraksha malas. A grey-haired woman in orange with a yellow border and rudraksha mala sits quietly with her eyes lowered, a brass horn resting on her lap. Before them are metal pots, a silver vessel, and rows of grey conical sacred stones or lingams on round stone bases. Activity suggests a puja or abhishekam; a child in orange is partially visible at left.2013-06-04May 10 20132013-05-10May 25 20132013-05-25
