He wears a red-orange cloth wrapped at the waist with gold borders, a dark rudraksha mala with gold beads and a large gold pendant, a red-brown bead headband, gold hoop earring, gold bangle and rings, and white sacred ash markings on the forehead and shoulders. The shaven-headed figure looks to the side. Outside the frame, a blue-and-white vessel is partly visible at right.2012-05-11A bald, bare-chested older man in an orange-red dhoti with gold borders stands beside a glass partition, leaning forward toward a small black screen on a granite counter. He wears layered rudraksha malas and a gold ornament on his chest, with white ash marks on his forehead and arms. A blurred hand reaches toward the screen on the right, and a water dispenser and a small cup sit on the counter beside a blue-and-white bundle.

He wears an orange-saffron dhoti with gold borders, a rudraksha mala with a ceremonial gold-toned necklace, a white forehead band with a red mark, and a rudraksha-bead headband. He holds a silver tray of flowers before a brass lamp stand and a gold kalasha-like vessel on the right. Fresh flower petals lie on the floor and a brass oil lamp sits nearby. The page indicates a person, but the visible appearance (shaved head, priestly white markings, no long hair or crown) does not clearly match the expected cues, so the identity is uncertain and the figure is described by role as a priest performing an offering.2012-05-14 +1 copiesMay 09 20122012-05-09 +1 copiesMay 15 20122012-05-15 +1 copiesMay 11 20122012-05-11Photograph of a man in saffron-orange monastic cloth standing indoors beside a stone pillar and a blue wooden door.
