A man in an orange-brown ochre garment stands at a stone temple pillar, eyes lowered, holding a bunch of yellow and white flowers in one hand. He wears layered red-and-pink flower garlands, a heavy gold chain necklace with a pendant, a gold bangle and gold earring, and has a red bindi and sandalwood marks on the forehead. In the foreground a large brass oil lamp with a tall ornate stem is blurred, and a stone carved wall sits at the left.2013-01-01 +1 copiesA seated figure in a red-brown dhoti-style garment with gold trim and a pink and white flower garland holds a gold and green-ribboned vessel up at chest height, smiling broadly. A red bindi is visible on the forehead and gold bangles are on the wrist. Behind, a large throne-like backdrop is densely covered in rows of red, yellow, purple and white flowers, with gold lion-head armrests in front and a gold ornate temple gopuram structure above. A hand with a silver tray enters from the lower left. The figure has long hair and a bare upper body with a shawl draped over one shoulder; the figure appears consistent with the a person presentation cues of long hair, saffron-toned garments and ceremonial gold ornaments, though identity is uncertain from appearance alone.2013-04-21A smiling man in a rust-orange silk dhoti and matching shawl stands at an outdoor temple entrance, wearing layered rudraksha malas, a gold ornamental pendant, a long red and yellow flower garland, gold armlets and bangles. He has a white sacred ash band and red kumkum on his forehead and gestures with his right hand toward his chest. Behind him, a red cloth hangs beside a carved stone pillar with yellow flower strings, and shirtless attendants in white and saffron dhotis stand near stacked stone blocks and palm trees. The scene appears to be a temple ceremony.2015-04-21 +1 copiesJanuary 04 20152015-01-04A smiling man in saffron-orange clothing sits in front of a golden deity murti with a black face, wearing a saffron head covering and gold armlets, holding ceremonial objects.
