A white sandalwood band marks his forehead with a red bindi, and white paste covers his upper arms.

The priest on the right, bare-chested with rudraksha mala necklaces and beaded bracelets, holds up a lit oil lamp in his raised hand while speaking. Another bare-chested priest beside him holds a lit lamp and wears a rudraksha mala; a third priest sits at the left edge. White sacred ash marks cover their foreheads and shoulders, and one wears a red tilak. Behind them, seated devotees in orange and yellow clothing fill the blurred hall, and framed banners line the walls.2017-01-03A photograph of a shaven-headed man in saffron-orange monastic cloth, wearing layered rudraksha mala necklaces and beaded wrist bands, with white sandalwood or vibhuti markings on his forehead and arms and a red bindi between his brows. He looks to the side with his arm extended. Behind him, other shaven-headed devotees in orange robes sit in a hall with red curtains and a white wall. The setting suggests an ashram satsang or ritual gathering. Appearance does not clearly establish whether he is a person, so identity is uncertain.2013-06-19July 10 20132013-07-10A shaved-headed man in saffron-red robes wears long rudraksha mala strands across his chest and multiple rudraksha bracelets on his wrists, with a red bindi and white ash markings on his forehead and arm. He sits with palms pressed together in anjali mudra, gazing forward, while blurred figures in orange robes and a seated person in white are visible at the edges. A red curtain forms the backdrop. Appearance is consistent with a sannyasi in an ashram satsang setting, but the page does not establish that this man is a person, so no identification is made.2013-05-31
