Standing around them are devotees in white dhotis with gold borders, one holding a bouquet of yellow and orange flowers in a maroon cloth, others in orange saffron robes with bare upper bodies and rudraksha beads, and a person in a turquoise jacket and blue track pants. A seated woman in orange at left has ash marks on her forehead. Grey stone pavement and carved stone pillars frame the scene.2017-02-06April 05 20122012-04-05February 06 20172017-02-06August 17 20122012-08-17August 06 20092009-08-06A photograph of a person prostrating face-down on a stone floor in a temple setting, wearing a rust-orange dhoti and long dark dreadlocked hair with a white flower garland. Standing around them are devotees in orange and white ritual clothing, some bare-chested with ash and sandalwood markings and rudraksha malas, holding white cloth and a floral garland. A man in a teal top and blue trousers stands at left, and a photographer with a camera is visible at right. The stone floor and granite walls suggest a temple precinct during a visit with prostration.2017-02-06December 23 20162016-12-23A close side view of a man with long dark hair falling loose and a bearded face, bowed low with his forehead pressed against a grey stone ledge. His right hand rests flat on the stone edge. He wears a thick multi-strand rudraksha mala of brown beads across his bare upper body, and a red-orange cloth is visible at his shoulder and waist. The background shows weathered grey stone blocks and a step. The posture suggests reverent prostration at a temple structure. Only one physical person is visible. Identity is not established from appearance: the rudraksha mala and long hair are present, but the face is turned away and the cues are insufficient, so the person is described by role as a devotee.2016-08-24A man with long dreadlocked dark hair bends forward, pressing his forehead against a rough grey stone surface. He wears a rust-red garment with gold zari border draped over one shoulder, a heavy gold bead necklace, and a gold hoop earring with coral beads. The setting appears to be a temple or hall with blurred red and gold fabric in the background. The pose suggests reverence or prostration at a sacred stone.2017-09-05A person in orange and saffron-toned clothing lies prostrate face-down on a stone floor, arms extended forward with palms pressed down, in a full-length prostration. The figure wears a wide beaded waist belt, orange bracelets, a gold and orange headpiece, a rudraksha-style mala and gold necklace, with long dark hair in a knot. A leopard-print and striped cloth lies beneath the body, and a black fringed cloth sits near the head. Behind, several people in orange robes and white dhotis stand barefoot. Scattered colourful powder marks the floor.2012-08-17
