A photograph through a doorway of a shaved-headed man in a red-orange garment with gold border, bending forward with his hands together holding flowers or offerings. He wears a beaded head band, a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant necklace, and a gold bangle on his wrist. Behind him is a small shrine with a gold arch, a white flower garland, a brass oil lamp with a lit flame and a silver bowl of offerings on a stand. A grey speaker box stands on the right and a white grille covers the left edge. Appearance is consistent with a ritual worshipper; the page associates the event with a person, but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity.

A photograph of a shaved-headed man standing in a stone doorway inside a temple. He wears a red-orange garment with gold border, a dark bead rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, with a red tilak on his forehead and gold bangles on his wrist. He holds a small bundle of flowers or leaves in his hands. Behind him a brass oil lamp burns on a stand beside a gilded arch and a metal vessel. A white grille and a black equipment box occupy the foreground. The garments and malas are visible but the face-based identity is not established, so the role is described as a temple attendant or devotee.2012-06-02May 10 20122012-05-10May 10 20122012-05-10A shaved-headed, bare-chested man stands on marble steps in a temple doorway, holding a silver tray of pink flowers and green leaves. He wears a rust-orange dhoti tied with gold-bordered cloth, a rudraksha mala with a gold chain, a dark rudraksha head band, and white and red forehead markings. Brass oil lamps flank the entrance. Behind him an arched, orange-lit shrine holds a small deity murti, silver vessels and a flickering lamp.
