Two men stand side by side inside an ornate hall with marble-patterned walls and a gold-framed throne at left. The man on the left is bare-chested, with a rudraksha mala around his neck, a red-orange sheet draped at his waist, and a red-orange tilak on his forehead. The man on the right wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, a long gold-and-flower garland, a rudraksha mala, and beaded bracelets, and smiles toward the camera. A third person in white dhoti stands at the far right edge, hands folded in greeting. A red-orange flag with an emblem hangs at upper left, and a shrine niche with a white arch is behind them. Whether either man is a person cannot be determined from appearance alone.2012-05-11May 14 20122012-05-14 +2 copiesMay 11 20122012-05-11Photograph inside a temple doorway of two men.
