A man with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi stands in an orange temple corridor wearing a saffron-orange sleeveless wrap, a long rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders, and holding a small bronze bowl in his hand. Behind him, a framed picture of a deity (appears to be Shiva with a crescent) hangs on the orange wall beside a notice board, and a person in an orange garment holding a fan is partially visible at the right edge. Swamiji (probable) based on the long hair, saffron wrap and rudraksha mala cues, shown in person during a temple puja setting.2013-05-30Photograph inside an orange-walled temple shrine.

A small brass bowl stands on a stone ledge in the foreground, and a framed devotional picture of a deity with a trident hangs on the orange wall at right.
