Smoke rises above him. He is smiling and looking down at the flame. Behind him hangs an orange-red curtain, and tall brass lamp stands with oil lamps are at the right edge of the frame. The setting suggests a temple ritual, with the man performing an aarti. Swamiji (probable): long, swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a gold neck ornament identify him as a probable candidate, performing the aarti in a temple ritual.2010-01-02 +1 copiesA photograph of a ritual performed at night against a dark background. In the foreground, a man in an orange saffron shawl draped over his head and body, with a gold multi-strand necklace of beads, holds a brass aarti lamp with a flame in one hand and a brass bell in the other, with white sacred ash markings on his forehead and arms. Behind him, a younger man in white clothes with an orange shawl stands with palms pressed together in anjali mudra. Smoke or incense haze is visible in the background. The scene reflects an aarti offering.2009-12-16September 06 20122012-09-06A man in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl performs aarti with a lit ornate silver lamp held in his right hand, flames rising from the wick.
