Standing beside him, a man in a white shirt and rudraksha mala presses his palms together in greeting, while a shaved-headed priest in orange robes and a gold necklace stands nearby. Another man in white ritual clothes with a rudraksha mala holds his hands together, and more people are blurred in the background near stone pillars and a golden throne at right. The appearance-based label of the seated figure is Swamiji (probable), based on his orange turban, saffron robes, garlands and gold ornaments, though his identity is not certain.2012-05-12September 16 20152015-09-16 +1 copiesOutdoor temple-courtyard ritual under a corrugated roof decorated with hanging paper lanterns and mango-leaf garlands.
