Outdoor shrine scene under shady trees. A standing man in saffron-orange robe with gold-yellow border and rudraksha beads stands barefoot on a tiled platform with palms pressed together in namaskar, head bowed in reverence. Beside him, a black stone deity murti in red garment and crown sits on a raised pedestal, with a red-painted serpent coiled around the base near a small offering stone and a banyan tree behind. Red and white prayer mats lie on the ground. A candidate matching the page's a person reference shows long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala, so he is.

May 11 20132013-05-11Outdoors among trees, a man stands barefoot on a black stone platform with palms pressed together in namaskar. He wears a rust-orange dhoti with yellow borders over a bare chest, and a beaded mala hangs around his neck. Beside him a shrine holds a black stone deity murti dressed in yellow cloth with a yellow head covering and red garlands, set in an arched white frame with a green curtain. In front of the shrine is a mound of red offerings, with a small stone seat and a small rug on the ground. The man is a devotee at the shrine, and the page indicates a person's presence but his appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity.2013-05-13Outdoor temple courtyard shaded by trees with a banyan trunk rising from a round white base. On the left, a black stone deity murti with a gold crown-like band and orange draped cloth stands in a niche with garlands; in front sits a red-tinted rock formation with a small brass bell and a black serpent form curling across the base. On the right, a man with a bare upper body and a long orange-and-gold dhoti stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, a vertical tilak on his forehead and gold bangles on his wrists, on a red mat. Hanging white cords frame the right edge.2012-04-23 +2 copiesApril 01 20132013-04-01January 18 20132013-01-18March 24 20132013-03-24January 17 20132013-01-17A man stands barefoot on a small red-and-white mat in front of a dark stone deity murti of a multi-armed form in an arched silver-framed shrine with orange drapery.
