Standing behind him are devotees in orange and white robes and a woman in a green saree, all with hands folded. In front are silver plates, a pot, incense sticks and a banana-leaf offering; to the right a gourd-shaped object is garlanded with yellow marigolds and draped with a beaded necklace, set in a wicker basket. The scene appears to be an outdoor puja or ritual. The young man's identity is not established by appearance here, so no a person candidate is asserted.2016-09-15December 23 20102010-12-23A photograph of a shirtless man seated on the ground in a ritual setting, wearing a white dhoti with a yellow shawl draped over his shoulder and a rudraksha mala around his neck. His chest is marked with white sandalwood or ash lines and a white forehead mark. He arranges white jasmine garlands on leaf-wrapped coconut-topped pots, with a brass plate of yellow flowers and rice beside him. Another seated man in white stands to the left, and a carved wooden door with brass studs is behind.

Behind him, standing devotees in white dhotis, a woman in red, and brass pots surround the scene. Dark wet hair and a sunny outdoor courtyard setting are visible.2010-07-21December 23 20162016-12-23January 01 20042004-01-01December 14 20162016-12-14Two young shirtless priests in orange dhotis sit on a colourful striped cloth outdoors, performing a ritual over a low white table. The priest on the left, with long hair and white ash markings on his arms, pours from a small vessel. The priest in the centre wears a rudraksha mala and red-brown bangles and holds a ladle. Behind them, a seated figure in a red-brown robe sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne. Silver plates, bowls, a brass kalasha-style pot, marigolds, a small cup and a folded blue cloth hold offerings.
