Outdoor photo beside a carved wooden temple chariot or ratha with a relief panel of a tree and gold-tipped pillars at left. A man in an orange saffron dhoti and shawl, with a rudraksha mala around his neck, stands under palm trees and a pale sky, holding and pulling a long orange rope tied to the chariot. At the lower right a hand holds a copper plate or pot. The scene suggests a chariot-pulling ritual. The man's face is partly turned and his hair is short, so he does not show the cues needed for a probable identification, and the image offers no clear name or caption tying him to a person.

October 18 20102010-10-18Photograph taken from a low angle of a man in a saffron-orange robe and rudraksha mala standing beside an ornate carved wooden structure with a tree motif and turned pillars. He holds an orange-wrapped object and a long orange cord that hangs down from above, and his face is looking downward at his hands. Palm trees and a bright sky with clouds form the background, and another person's hands holding a copper or brass plate appear at the right edge. The setting suggests a temple procession or ritual, with the man appearing to be a priest or sannyasi performing an act with the cord and object. The man is not clearly identifiable as a person, so the a person field is unsure.2010-10-18 +1 copiesOctober 18 20102010-10-18Low-angle outdoor photo of a shaved-headed man in an orange-saffron robe and an orange-beaded rudraksha-style mala, holding an orange cloth bundle tied with orange cord that hangs upward from it, face lifted toward the sky. Beside him stands an ornate copper-brown temple-style pillar or kalasha-topped column carved with a tree motif and small shrine niches. Tall coconut palms and pale sky fill the background, and a hand holding a metal tray appears at the right edge. The orange cord and robe suggest a ritual in progress, though the exact rite is not visible.2010-10-18 +1 copiesOctober 18 20102010-10-18Outdoor photo of a flag-hoisting ceremony beside a tall ornate red stone pillar wrapped in yellow and magenta flower garlands, with carved relief panels.
