Outdoor photo of a man standing with hands clasped in front of him on a dusty reddish-brown ground beneath leafy trees. He wears a white dhoti-style wrap with a broad gold-yellow border, bare-shouldered with a draped white shawl, and multiple strands of red rudraksha beads around his neck and upper arm, plus a gold-toned pendant. A white-and-red sacred mark is on his forehead and his dark hair is swept back into a bun. Another person in orange clothing stands at the right edge of the frame, partially visible. Buildings and blurred greenery fill the background.

He wears multiple strands of rudraksha beads with red coral beads, rudraksha armlets and wrist bands, a silver ornamental necklace with a gold central piece, and a silver disc pendant. A white and red tilak marks his forehead. Behind him are large tree trunks and roots, with a red and patterned mat and an ochre earthen ground at left. The clothing and adornments are distinctive, but the appearance alone does not clearly establish a specific identity, so the person is described by role as a devotee in ceremonial white.2012-04-26September 07 20112011-09-07July 02 20132013-07-02March 10 20122012-03-10February 16 20122012-02-16April 26 20122012-04-26A man stands under a covered open pavilion with a red pillar and red hanging ring frame, palm trees and foliage behind him.
