He wears an orange-saffron dhoti and matching shawl draped over his bare upper body, with rudraksha beads around his neck and arm, a gold-toned armlet and bangles, and a vibhuti mark on his forehead. His long dark hair falls down his back. He stands on a folded red-and-blue mat in a courtyard with a red compound wall, a white pole and a small shrine with an orange-clad structure in the background.2013-02-22 +1 copiesOctober 31 20162016-10-31June 20 20132013-06-20 +1 copiesSeptember 13 20122012-09-13A person in saffron-orange robes with a gold-edged dhoti and sash stands barefoot on a small red and blue patterned mat beside a large banyan tree, one hand resting against its aerial roots. He has long dark hair, a white forehead band, rudraksha malas across the chest, a beaded armlet and a gold pendant necklace, and his eyes are lowered in quiet contemplation. A sandy ground and blurred trees form the background.2013-01-28A barefoot man with long dark hair stands on a small red-and-blue patterned mat, his back to the camera and forehead turned toward a large banyan tree trunk with aerial roots. He wears a rust-orange cloth wrapped around the body with broad gold-bordered edges, a rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders, and is bare-chested above the wrap. Sandy ground and rocks surround the tree. The posture suggests reverent contemplation at the tree.2013-05-30A photograph of an outdoor ritual at a tree trunk. A bare-chested man with long dreadlocks and a full beard, wearing a rudraksha-style mala and an orange-red cloth wrap, reaches out to press a dab of orange-yellow paste onto the bark. Behind him, a second person in white is partly visible holding a small plate. Pink and green threads are wound around the trunk, and a red-washed wall and a green gate stand in the background. Appearance-based identity is uncertain, so the man is described by his role as a ritual participant.2016-10-31A photograph of a man standing outdoors beside a grey concrete block wall, with a leafy tree at the left and patchy green grass and freshly dug earth at the bottom. He has very long dark hair hanging down his back, a full beard and moustache, and wears a rust-orange cloth wrapped around his body, leaving his right shoulder and upper chest bare. A red thread is tied on his right wrist, and his right hand is raised near his mouth. The lighting is natural daylight. The appearance matches the page's a person claim only partially, so the identity is uncertain and he is described by role as a sannyasi wearing orange cloth.2018-05-22May 27 20132013-05-27
