May 19 20082008-05-19A photograph taken outdoors on a hillside with a cloudy sky, green shrubs and rocky hills behind. In the foreground a person seen from behind, shaved head, wrapped in a flowing saffron-orange garment with a maroon sash tied at the waist, stands at a dark boulder dusted with white flower petals and pours or offers something from a small cup held in one hand. A camera operator stands partly visible beside them. The figure's appearance is not clearly distinctive enough to identify, so the role is a devotee performing an offering at a rock.2008-05-19May 19 20082008-05-19May 19 20082008-05-19A person in orange-saffron robes with a maroon-edged border stands with their back mostly to the camera, bending over a large grey boulder in a hilly, tree-dotted landscape under a cloudy sky. They hold a small metal or brass vessel and appear to be pouring or offering something onto the rock, with a thin stream visible. Shaved or short-cropped dark hair is visible. Green shrubs and a hillside rise behind, and a small reddish-orange cloth is on a bush at right.2008-05-19May 19 20082008-05-19May 19 20082008-05-19A photograph outdoors at a hillside shrine with a rocky, scrub-covered mountain behind. A man in an orange saffron dhoti and shawl stands at right, pouring water from a brass vessel over a large dark boulder, with water streaming down the rock. Green palm fronds and leafy trees fill the foreground. At right edge, a small shrine with colourful bunting and a framed picture of a figure is visible. The man is an appearance-based candidate for a person with only a few cues (orange clothing, a sannyasi-style wrap), so identity is uncertain.2008-05-19May 19 20082008-05-19May 19 20082008-05-19Outdoor photograph of a hillside landscape with scrubby trees, a palm plant and large boulders. On the right, a man in orange robes holds a small ornate shrine or palanquin-like structure with a decorated canopy and a framed portrait garlanded with red flowers, while holding a handbell in his other hand. The shrine stands on a rock amid greenery. He appears to be performing an offering or worship in the open landscape.2008-05-19May 19 20082008-05-19
