He has long dark hair tied in a high bun, white vertical markings on his bare chest and upper arms, and wears an orange-saffron dhoti with a red sash, a saffron beaded necklace with gold-coloured beads, a rudraksha-style bracelet and gold earrings. Behind him are garlands of yellow marigolds, red and white flowers, green and gold drapery, and a tall brass lamp decorated with yellow flower garlands.

He wears white horizontal stripes across his forehead, chest and upper arms, orange and brown rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, a thick gold bead necklace, a small pendant and a round medallion with a portrait on his chest, and hoop earrings. Behind him are a gold and silver ornate seat and a blurred figure in red and gold clothing. Figure is an in_person candidate with compatible presentation cues only partially visible, so identity is uncertain; setting appears to be a ceremonial hall with decorated furnishings.2016-12-19A young man in an orange dhoti-style garment with gold border stands on a red carpet holding a multi-flame brass aarti lamp in one hand and a brass handbell in the other. He wears a rudraksha mala, a gold-beaded necklace and gold-beaded armlets, with white horizontal stripes on his arms and a white tilak on his forehead, his long hair knotted up on his head. Blurred seated devotees in the background suggest a ritual arati performance during an event.2016-05-02September 05 20162016-09-05
