A photograph of a single barefoot person in a red silk wrap and red dhoti edged with gold zari border, bending forward with forehead pressed against a carved grey stone ledge of a temple structure. Dark rudraksha beads hang at the neck, hair is tied in a topknot, and a white marking shows on the forehead. He stands on a leopard-print mat on a wet stone floor. Behind him are orange draped cloth, a carved stone pillar, and a small brass lamp stand. The bowing gesture suggests devotional reverence at a shrine.

His hair is tied in a topknot, and he wears red-beaded rudraksha-style necklaces and matching red beaded bracelets on both wrists. Behind him are stone carved temple pillars with figures and an orange-and-red wall with a pink curtain. The gesture resembles a devotee's reverent obeisance at a temple shrine.2011-12-24A woman in a red silk sari with gold zari stripes and a gold border leans forward at a carved granite railing in a temple courtyard, her long dark hair falling forward as she bends low and touches the stone edge with one hand. Beside her, a blue-robed seated statue with a blue turban and a rudraksha mala raises one hand in blessing on a white pedestal. Behind the railing stand carved granite pillars, a kalasha-style offering tray with marigold flowers, and an orange-walled building. A leopard-print mat lies on the floor.2011-09-01A man in orange saffron robes bows forward with his forehead pressed against a grey stone ledge at a temple, his hair tied in a topknot and a rudraksha mala visible at his neck. His right hand rests on the carved stone. Behind him stand an orange and red painted wall, a carved stone pillar, and a brass lamp and offering tray on a ledge to the right. A red-and-white striped curtain hangs at the left edge. The figure is a single devotee in prostration, and the appearance-based identity cue is not sufficient to name him as a person.2011-01-21A photograph of a person in an orange saffron garment bowing forward with forehead pressed against the edge of a grey stone structure carved with floral relief.
