April 14 20142014-04-14A photograph inside a temple shrine with red carpet and painted pillars. In the foreground, a bald man in a rust-red robe and rudraksha beads, seen from behind, holds a tiered silver aarti lamp with lit flames. Two seated boys in white and saffron sit to the left. Behind the shrine, two gilded deity murti flank a framed portrait of a man in an orange turban and saffron robe, labelled as a portrait. Brass oil lamps stand along the sides. Only the three visible people are counted. The priest is a presumed candidate only by setting, so the appearance is too uncertain to name him.2014-04-04June 10 20142014-06-10June 02 20142014-06-02A shaved-headed priest in saffron robes and a rudraksha mala stands with his back to the camera, holding a tiered silver aarti lamp with many lit oil lamps before a temple shrine.
