Before him on a dark brown patterned mat sits a brass puja thali with red flowers, brass katoris, a brass spoon, a small brass kalasha-style vessel and white grains. A striped woven mat lies beside him and a white plastic-lidded jar sits in the background. The setting appears to be a ritual puja.2017-01-22January 22 20172017-01-22January 22 20172017-01-22January 22 20172017-01-22January 22 20172017-01-22Close-up photo of a priest performing a puja at a black stone Shivling on a leaf-and-flower-strewn base. The priest, shown from the chest down, wears a white dhoti with a gold-edged sash, a red-and-white rudraksha mala, a gold bangle and a brass bell at his waist, and is pouring from a brass vessel with a small ladle over the offerings. Nearby on a red cloth are brass cups, a small brass lamp, a white conch-shaped vessel, banana leaves and a small figure of a deity. A red-and-beige cloth bag with a printed portrait sits in the background beside brass pots.2016-12-17January 24 20122012-01-24A brass puja setup on a red cloth with a hand placing a flower on a coconut at a ritual. Brass plates hold rose petals, yellow flowers, cooked rice and a rudraksha mala. Brass oil lamps, a kalasha-style cup, bells and lit incense sticks surround them. Only a bare forearm in an orange-clad sleeve and a hand are visible, with a rudraksha bracelet on the wrist. The setting appears to be a temple ritual with offerings arranged for puja.2017-01-06January 22 20172017-01-22
