A long garland of red roses hangs around the neck. Behind the platform are a brass vessel and brass lamps at the left, a white and red striped wall, and a hanging orange curtain on a red pillar. The floor is wet and reflective. The figure's face is turned down and not visible. Appearance does not clearly match the a person candidate cues, so the person is described by role as a devotee performing obeisance.2010-08-25December 28 20082008-12-28A man in an orange saffron garment and a long rudraksha mala leans forward, pressing his forehead against the carved stone edge of an ornate sandstone structure with lion and floral relief carvings.
