He wears a multi-strand rudraksha mala and his hands rest on his knees. Behind him stands an orange-red stepped pedestal holding a black stone shivalinga draped with a white and orange garland, with a tall orange ritual pillar rising above it under coconut palms. A brass kalasha sits before him on a woven mat, and a single red flower lies near the platform. Dark stone deity murtis and figures stand along the sides, and colourful striped tassel banners hang from tall posts at the edges. Kolam-style white chalk patterns decorate the ground. Appearance-based candidate, shaved head and saffron robes with rudraksha, but with no crown, long hair or ornate gold cues; identity uncertain.2010-11-10October 24 20102010-10-24 +1 copiesOctober 24 20102010-10-24 +1 copiesOctober 28 20102010-10-28A figure in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits cross-legged in meditation on a raised mat within a circle of grey gravel, eyes closed and hands folded in the lap. A small brass kalasha or vessel sits at the left edge of the mat. Behind is a red-orange stepped platform holding a dark stone lingam-like form with a red garland, flanked by grey stone deity murti and a tall wooden pole with fabric-wrapped flags. Palm trees and greenery fill the outdoor ashram courtyard, with colourful pink and green powder marks on the ground. The person appears to be seated in meditation; identity is uncertain from appearance alone.2010-10-19October 25 20102010-10-25November 10 20102010-11-10 +1 copiesOctober 24 20102010-10-24 +1 copiesOctober 18 20102010-10-18
