A close photograph of a bare-shouldered man in profile with swept-back dark hair and a short beard, eyes lowered, receiving a heavy garland of purple globe amaranth, pink lotus buds, yellow marigolds and white flowers with green leaves draped over his shoulders. A blurred second man in a white dhoti and shawl with a red tilak stands behind on the left. Warm lamplight glows in the soft background. The garlanded man is bare-chested with a ceremonial necklace-style garland and no visible saffron robe or rudraksha mala, so the cues are insufficient to suggest a person.

Close profile photograph of a bare-chested man with long swept-back dark hair and a white forehead mark, wearing a large garland of white flowers, purple and magenta blooms, yellow marigolds and orange blossoms draped over his shoulders. A blurred white-clad priest with a beaded necklace stands behind him in an indoor ceremonial setting with a warm orange backdrop. The man is the central figure, appearing to be receiving the garland during a temple ritual. Appearance cues are compatible with a person given the long swept-back hair, distinctive ceremonial garland and adornment, though identity remains uncertain.2016-10-09September 22 20162016-09-22May 22 20182018-05-22Close-up photograph of a bearded man with long dark wavy hair pulled back, wearing a red vertical tilak on his forehead and a garland of pink lotus blossoms and white jasmine-like beads draped over his shoulders.

He presses his palms together in anjali namaskar with eyes lowered, a white vertical tilak with red kumkum on his forehead. Two or three people stand blurred behind him, including a man in a light shirt on the right. The setting is an indoor temple-like space.
