Outdoor photograph of a large ceremonial ratha or temple-chariot structure covered in a bright garland of marigold-like flowers in yellow, orange, red, purple and green, with a grey dome-shaped element at the base. On the left, a raised metal platform with railings holds a bare-chested man with long grey-streaked hair and a mala of beads around his neck, wearing a white garment, and beside him a man in orange clothing; smoke or incense drifts in the air. Clear blue sky and trees fill the background.

Above it, on a metal platform with silver railings, a man with long dark hair and a rudraksha-style necklace sits in orange-brown robes with a white-and-pink flower garland, hands near the lingam, seemingly performing abhishekam or puja. Beside him on the steps, two attendants in orange garments stand; one has long hair tied back and is also touching the platform. The setting is an open courtyard at dusk with a low wall and a tree at right. The candidate's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, though the features are not clear enough to confirm.2017-05-24January 01 20182018-01-01 +1 copies
