A photograph of two men standing in a temple doorway with a gold-coloured arched frame and warm lights above. The man on the left wears an orange-red dhoti and shawl with a long beaded garland and a second garland at his chest. The man on the right is bare-chested, wears an orange-red dhoti and holds a long rudraksha-style mala and a ceremonial object in his hands, with long dark hair swept back. Behind them are a brass lamp stand and an altar area with a small shrine structure. A partially visible person is at the lower right edge of the frame.2012-05-07Photo 11725798 +2 copiesMay 09 20122012-05-09 +1 copiesMay 07 20122012-05-07May 12 20122012-05-12 +1 copiesTwo men in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls walk out of a temple shrine doorway with an ornate arch lit by a row of warm lamps.

A man stands in the centre wearing a saffron-orange dhoti and matching shawl, with a rudraksha mala across his bare chest and a small crown-like headpiece. He holds a silver tray with a lamp and offering items. Behind him stands a second figure in orange, and at the lower right a bent-over person in white clothes touches the floor near a stone step.
