A bare-chested man in an orange-red dhoti with gold border stripes stands on granite steps at a temple shrine doorway, holding a silver tray of pink flower petals. He wears a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, has white vibhuti marks on his forehead and a beaded headband, and is barefoot. Behind him, a second man in orange stands within a shrine arched with warm lights, with an oil lamp and small deity murti visible. A framed printed portrait of a robed figure in red hangs on the left wall. Appearance cues are consistent with the page's reference to a person in a temple ritual context, but identity is uncertain.

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 10 20122012-05-10
