The foreground priest in the right of frame wears a rudraksha mala, a white forehead mark and white body markings, and holds his palms together in a gesture of prayer. Others in the row wear white dhoti cloths and orange-saffron cloths over one shoulder, with rudraksha malas, white tripundra marks and white ash on their bodies, some with hands raised or folded in worship. A brass lota and small brass vessels sit near the front. The priests are seated, not facing the camera directly, and no one in the scene is clearly identifiable as a specific presiding figure.2016-11-11November 26 20162016-11-26A row of men seated on red-and-white steps in an outdoor temple setting, with their hands folded in anjali mudra in prayer. The nearest man in front wears a rudraksha mala, a white horizontal tilak with white body markings on his bare upper torso, and an orange cloth draped over his lap. Behind him, other men in white dhotis and orange cloths sit similarly, some with white vibhuti streaks on their faces and chests. Several black stone lingam-shaped objects stand in a line along the left side of the frame, and brass vessels rest near the bottom. No one in the scene is identifiable as a person by the cues described, so no candidate is marked.2016-11-11December 31 20162016-12-31November 21 20162016-11-21
