A photograph of a bare-chested man seated on red stone temple steps with eyes closed and hands joined at his chest. He wears a white dhoti, long multi-strand rudraksha malas, a red pendant, and a white horizontal tilak with a vertical mark on his forehead; white paste marks appear on his upper arms. Behind him are black stone pillars, brass pots and an oil lamp, with other white-clad people seated higher up.

He has a white vertical tilak with a red bindi on his forehead, long matted hair, and wears multiple strands of rudraksha malas, a rudraksha bracelet, a small red-and-gold pendant, and a white dhoti with an orange-bordered cloth. Behind him, other figures in white dhotis sit on the steps, and a dark stone shivalinga sits in the foreground beside brass pots, pink flower petals and a smoking incense stick. The setting suggests an outdoor puja or aarti, and this man presents as a person by his rudraksha malas, ornate adornments and ritual setting.2017-07-17February 02 20172017-02-02February 02 20172017-02-02May 13 20182018-05-13A photograph of a shaved-headed man in the foreground, eyes closed, palms pressed together in anjali mudra, seated among a row of other devotees in white dhotis and bare-chested. He wears a rudraksha mala around his neck and bead bracelets on his wrist, with white vertical tilak marks on his forehead, nose and arms. Several other men sit blurred behind him, some in white and yellow cloth.
