A man with a tied-back hair bun, bare-shouldered in saffron-orange cloth, stands at left, holding a small oil lamp flame and a bell over the figure, with a lotus-like flower nearby. Red and white flower garlands and a red curtain frame the altar beneath an ornate gold arch. The figure in saffron wears no crown, shawl or malas that clearly establish an identity, so no identification is made.2012-04-30 +2 copiesPhoto 11738322 +1 copiesDecember 14 20112011-12-14 +1 copiesDecember 14 20112011-12-14 +1 copiesA photograph of a temple shrine decorated with flower garlands in yellow, orange, red and white.
