A photograph cropped at the torso of a man in an unadorned white dhoti with a golden-yellow border, worn tucked at the waist. He holds two long green blades of grass or leaves in both hands, twisting them together. Behind him is a rough outdoor site with a pile of brown earth and loose grey stones, and a white-painted slab edge at the right. No face is visible, no a person candidate can be assessed from appearance, so the a person field is none. The image shows one person, so the count is 1.2018-02-02February 22 20182018-02-22Close-up photo of a person's arm and hand raised holding a long narrow green leaf strip upright against a blurred background of a dark blue wall.

The hand holds the leaf with a ring on one finger.2013-07-13December 14 20112011-12-14Close-up photo of two hands stringing green mango leaves together with white thread. The person wears a white embroidered garment with a white lace-like pattern. The leaves are glossy and serrated, hanging in a bundle on the right, a typical preparation for a toran garland used in temple or festival decoration. No people's faces are visible and no person is identifiable as a person in this frame.2009-06-09Close-up photograph of a hand holding a small folded green leaf between thumb and fingers. The wearer is dressed in white draped cloth with a gold-bordered edge visible at the lower left. A gold bangle with engraved lettering is on the wrist. The background is a soft-focus white fabric, and the setting appears to be a ritual or darshan space. No face is visible, so the person's identity cannot be determined from the image.2011-12-31October 26 20162016-10-26 +2 copiesJanuary 02 20172017-01-02Close-up photograph of a priest's hands breaking or preparing a green leaf or pod over a ritual setting.
