A photograph of a man bowing forward with his forehead pressed to the carved stone edge of a temple plinth, one hand resting on the stone. He has hair tied in a high bun and wears a white dhoti-style cloth with an orange border, orange and gold bead bracelets, and a long orange-and-gold rudraksha mala hanging from his neck. Behind him is a red and white wall and a partly visible orange-clad figure. The scene suggests a devotional gesture of reverence at a temple structure.2011-11-14November 25 20112011-11-25 +1 copiesFebruary 24 20132013-02-24March 07 20132013-03-07December 14 20112011-12-14 +1 copiesNovember 23 20112011-11-23A man in orange saffron robes and a gold-beaded rudraksha-style necklace bends forward with his forehead pressed to the edge of a pale stone step, one hand resting on the stone.

He is performing a prostration or reverent gesture; no clear crowd is visible.2011-01-21April 20 20122012-04-20A person in an orange saffron garment with gold-edged border bends low and presses their forehead against a grey stone step or plinth of a temple structure. A long rudraksha mala with gold spacers hangs from the neck, and gold bangles are worn on the wrist. The hair is tied in a topknot. The stone surface shows carved moulding, and a small red petal lies on the step. The posture is one of reverence or prostration at a sacred stone.2011-12-10A close side view of a man bowing low and touching his forehead to a carved grey stone step or plinth.

His right hand rests flat on the stone edge in a gesture of reverence, and an orange-red wall is visible in the background.
