A barefoot man in a saffron-orange sannyasi wrap stands facing a stone shrine at a temple. Inside the arched, red-backed niche, a deity murti with a trident and garlands of yellow and red flowers is adorned, with brass lamps and vessels set before it on the granite platform. Red and white curtains hang at the sides of the open pavilion, and palm trees are visible beyond. The man's presence is a practitioner's stance at the shrine, and the page's a person claim cannot be confirmed from his appearance, so his identity is not asserted.2010-10-21October 22 20142014-10-22 +1 copiesNovember 14 20102010-11-14 +1 copiesOctober 29 20102010-10-29A barefoot man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl stands on a stone platform in front of a shrine, gazing up at the deity murti.
