A photograph of a man in a white dhoti and white shawl standing at right in profile, palms pressed together in namaskar near his chin, eyes lowered in prayer. He wears a rudraksha mala at his neck and matching beaded bracelets on his wrists and upper arm, with a tilak on his forehead and hair swept back. Behind him is a large black stone deity murti, decorated with yellow and green cloth and red garlands, framed by an arched white stone niche draped in orange cloth. Orange-red offerings are heaped in the foreground and green foliage fills the background. The man's appearance shows rudraksha malas and a swept-back hairstyle but no crown, saffron robe or ceremonial gold adornment, so the identity is uncertain.2011-11-14A photograph of an outdoor shrine set among trees. On the left, a deity murti in a white arched niche is draped with garlands of yellow, red and green flowers and a green cloth backdrop. On the right, a bare-chested man in a green and orange dhoti with gold armlets and a gold necklace stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, facing the shrine in quiet prayer. Overgrown tree branches fill the blurred background.2011-12-04November 13 20112011-11-13 +1 copiesA man in saffron-orange draped clothing with gold borders stands in profile at the right, hands pressed together in anjali mudra at his chest, eyes closed, facing a deity murti in a stone arch. He wears a rudraksha mala around his neck and a white forehead mark. Behind him, an orange cloth backdrop and a blurred orange-clad figure with raised arms stand on a dark pedestal, with red flower offerings piled in front. The scene reads as a devotional darshan or prayer. The man's appearance is consistent with the page's reference but uncertain from the image alone.2011-09-11November 11 20112011-11-11 +1 copiesA man in profile with long dark hair and bare upper body, wearing a white cloth and a white jasmine garland with red flowers over his shoulder, stands with palms pressed together in anjali mudra in front of a deity murti.
