January 02 20102010-01-02A man in a saffron-orange shawl draped over his head and body stands barefoot on a white platform beside a tall copper pillar wrapped in orange cord and garlanded with yellow and orange marigold strings. He wears a beaded wooden-bead necklace and holds a small offering of yellow and orange flowers in his hands, looking down. A straw broom and palm fronds hang near the pillar, with orange and white flower decorations overhead and scattered petals on the platform. Another saffron-clad person is partly visible at the right edge holding an offering tray. The pillar and garlands suggest a ritual pada-pooja or dwajarohanam-type flag-related ceremony. The man's appearance is consistent with a sannyasi in saffron robes, but identity cannot be confirmed from appearance.2010-01-02 +1 copiesJanuary 02 20102010-01-02 +1 copiesJanuary 02 20102010-01-02 +1 copiesJanuary 02 20102010-01-02 +1 copiesJanuary 02 20102010-01-02 +1 copiesJanuary 02 20102010-01-02 +1 copiesA standing man in saffron-orange robes, with his head and shoulders draped in an orange cloth, stands with hands clasped at his chest beside a tall copper ceremonial kalasha-style pillar. The pillar is wrapped with orange cord and garlanded with yellow marigold and orange flowers and purple accents. A red bindi marks his forehead, and a long gold bead necklace hangs over his robes. Behind him hang orange flower sprays and palm fronds. The scene appears to be an outdoor ceremony. The person is shown in an appearance-based candidate match, with the orange robes, gold necklace and red forehead mark as the qualifying cues.2010-01-02 +1 copiesA photograph of a man in orange saffron robes draped over his head and body, wearing a heavy gold necklace of beads and a tilak on his forehead. He holds a small tray of yellow and orange flowers in his right hand while looking down toward a tall copper ritual pillar wrapped in yellow and orange marigold garlands, with a woven straw wrap and orange cord around its top. Dried palm fronds with orange flowers hang above, and palm leaves form the background.2010-01-02 +1 copiesJanuary 02 20102010-01-02 +1 copiesJanuary 02 20102010-01-02 +1 copiesOutdoors beside a tall ornate copper-toned ritual pillar with a carved base and an ornamental shrine-like top. Garlands of white, yellow and red flowers hang from the structure, and palm fronds rise behind it. A man in saffron-orange robes stands with palms pressed together in prayer, wearing a long red and white flower garland and a beaded necklace. Petals are scattered on the pedestal. Stone sculptures are visible at the left edge, and a partly visible person sits at the lower right corner. Appearance cues for the standing figure include long hair and orange clothing with garlands, but the face and hair are not clearly distinctive enough to confirm identity.2010-02-12
