Behind him, several people sit close together, including a younger boy with white and red ash markings and a woman with a red bindi and dark hair. Some attendees wear saffron-orange cloths and rudraksha beads, and a shelf of framed photos is visible in the background. The man shows no clear cues of the a person presentation and is described only by role.2016-12-18December 18 20162016-12-18Close photograph of a shaved-headed man in profile, bare-shouldered with a rudraksha mala around his neck, looking to the right under warm pink-purple stage lighting. Behind him, a person in orange-brown clothing wears a long rudraksha mala and a pendant, with arms raised and a white cloth or flower in hand. Yellow fabric is visible at the top. The setting suggests a devotional gathering with dark background.2018-04-03August 03 20172017-08-03A close photo of a shaved-headed, bearded man with his eyes lowered and a faint smile, bare-shouldered and wearing brown rudraksha mala necklaces and a gold arm band over white cloth.

A rudraksha mala with brown beads hangs around his neck, and a dark vertical mark is applied to his forehead above white ash lines. An orange-red cloth with printed script rests across his lap. Behind him, blurred people in white and a colourful cloth-covered surface suggest a seated gathering.2017-08-03A photo of a bare-chested man seated in a hall, with both hands behind his head and eyes lowered. He wears multiple strands of rudraksha beads and a small pendant on a white cord, and has white and red tilak marks on his forehead. Blurred figures in white and saffron stand and sit in the background, with yellow-cushioned chairs visible. The scene suggests a Shiva Deeksha initiation session. The man appears to be a devotee participating in the practice rather than a clearly identifiable a person, so identity is uncertain.2017-04-26
