He wears an undraped white shawl over a bare chest, a white dhoti with gold borders, a red tilak mark on his forehead, a pendant and rudraksha-style beads at his neck, and gold earrings. Seated devotees in white clothes and orange-red shawls fill the floor around him, some with hands raised holding small items, and a striped rug lies to the side. A wall clock and a few dark wooden doors are visible in the background. Appearance cues such as long hair, ornate adornments and the tray role are suggestive but not conclusive, so the identity is uncertain.2017-03-17 +1 copiesApril 23 20172017-04-23A large hall with rows of seated devotees performing a group ritual on mats, many bare-chested in white dhoti-style cloth with gold-bordered edges and rudraksha malas, with white sacred ash markings on their foreheads and arms.
