He is bare-chested with his hair tied in a bun, wearing a red and white dhoti-style cloth with a red-and-gold bordered shawl over one shoulder and gold bangles and a gold necklace. Before him is a black stone deity murti seated and draped in red cloth with yellow garlands, set within a white arched niche framed by a red curtain. A mound of red kumkum or vermilion powder lies at the base, with trees behind the shrine. The man's appearance is not confidently matched to any candidate, so a person is unsure.2011-10-22December 07 20112011-12-07September 03 20112011-09-03A barefoot man with long dark hair stands in a red-and-gold dhoti and matching shawl, hands pressed together in anjali before a black deity murti. The murti wears an orange garment and a red headband and holds raised ritual objects in its multiple arms, set in a yellow-curtained arched niche with white ornate framing. In front, a mound of red kumkum or vermilion offerings rests on a dais, and a kalasha sits nearby. Trees and leafy greenery fill the open outdoor shrine behind a dark stone floor. A rudraksha mala hangs at his neck. The man's appearance is not clearly identifiable as the a person from the image alone, so he is described by role as a devotee performing prayer.2011-09-16April 05 20122012-04-05 +2 copiesA man in saffron-orange draped clothing with gold borders stands in profile at the right, hands pressed together in anjali mudra at his chest, eyes closed, facing a deity murti in a stone arch. He wears a rudraksha mala around his neck and a white forehead mark. Behind him, an orange cloth backdrop and a blurred orange-clad figure with raised arms stand on a dark pedestal, with red flower offerings piled in front. The scene reads as a devotional darshan or prayer. The man's appearance is consistent with the page's reference but uncertain from the image alone.2011-09-11March 06 20122012-03-06September 14 20112011-09-14
