A shaved-headed man in a reddish-brown wrap stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, head bowed in prayer, beside a large smooth dark black stone sphere. He wears a layered rudraksha mala and gold beaded necklaces, with red and yellow flower garlands draped over his shoulders and arms, and gold bangles on his wrists. A long multicolour garland of red, yellow, purple, green and white flowers hangs over the top of the sphere. Behind him are a red-roofed building, a low white railing and a pile of grey stones. The appearance is not enough to confirm the a person candidate, so the figure is described by role as a devotee at the shivalingam-style stone in prayer.

A bare-chested man with short dark hair stands with palms pressed together in namaskar before a large smooth black stone linga. A long garland of red, white, yellow, purple and green flowers drapes over the linga and around the man's neck, and he wears rudraksha malas and gold bangles. A red-roofed building with a framed sign stands behind, a white railing and stone wall separate the scene, and at lower right two people in white sit on red steps. The man's appearance does not clearly match the a person candidate cues, so the role is given as devotee and the identity is marked unsure.2013-06-03 +1 copiesJune 03 20132013-06-03June 03 20132013-06-03A man with long swept-back dark hair stands with palms pressed together in namaste before a large smooth black dome.
