A photograph at night of a smiling man in front of a large dark stone arch carved with deity figures and a circular halo. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti and a leopard-print blouse over his chest, layered with gold ornaments, a long gold necklace, and garlands of red flowers with yellow edging. He has white and red forehead markings and a silver trident in his right hand. At the lower left, a hand holds a metal lamp with a bright open flame. Another person in white stands at the right edge, partly cropped. The scene appears to be a temple or ashram entrance with an outdoor lamp offering.

A smiling person stands before a dark stone relief of a deity murti with a crescent-marked head. The person wears a saffron-orange wrap, a leopard-print garment, a heavy gold necklace, and a long red flower garland, with white and red forehead markings and gold armlets. They hold a silver trident (trishul) upright in one hand while another person's hand offers a lit oil lamp (aarti) with a bright flame. A camera operator is visible in the lower right corner, and some small yellow fruits sit on the ground. The appearance-based label is a person, based on the orange clothing, gold ornaments, garlands and trident, and the page identifies this event as involving a person.2013-03-02 +1 copiesMarch 02 20132013-03-02A smiling man with eyes closed stands before a large dark stone carved halo with a black deity murti behind him, garlanded in red flowers. He wears a leopard-print garment, an orange shawl, multi-strand gold beaded necklaces, a red garland and a gold bangle. He holds a silver trident with a silver Shiva-style trident head and a red stone inset. White vertical body markings and a red bindi mark his forehead, and he holds his hip. Swamiji (probable): his long swept-back hair, orange shawl, rudraksha-style adornments and ceremonial gold necklaces fit the page's identification, though the appearance cues are not conclusive. Marigold garlands and a red flower are visible on the wall and the base of the murti.2013-03-02 +1 copiesMarch 02 20132013-03-02 +1 copiesMarch 02 20132013-03-02 +1 copiesA photograph of a man standing outdoors at night beside a temple structure with a large dark circular arch behind him.

A yellow-flower offering sits on the ledge in the foreground.
