A smiling man with long dreadlocked hair and a beard sits on a red-and-white striped mat in front of an illuminated deity shrine. He wears a rust-orange wrap over bare shoulders and a gold chain with a pendant, and rudraksha-style beads hang at his waist. Behind him, colourful garlanded deity murtis and a golden lamp stand on a yellow-draped altar, with a white and blue information board to his left. Pillars with curtains frame the temple interior.

He holds a red cloth and sits before a brass tray with a steel tumbler and a bowl of yellow flowers. Behind him, an illuminated deity murti decorated with garlands and colourful drapery stands within a temple hall, and a tiger-skin-like fabric hangs on a seat to the right. The page identifies this as a person, and his long swept hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and gold necklace are consistent with that claim, so this is an appearance-based probable identification.2018-04-15A smiling man with long dreadlocks and a beard sits in front of an ornate golden deity display in a temple hall. He is bare-chested, wearing a rust-orange cloth wrap with a golden border, a gold pendant on a chain, and a rudraksha mala. Behind him, multiple golden and colourful deity murti are decorated with garlands and cloth. A dark maroon curtain frames the left side, and a brass lamp stand and a blue-and-white information board are visible in the foreground.2018-04-15April 15 20182018-04-15April 15 20182018-04-15April 15 20182018-04-15April 15 20182018-04-15April 15 20182018-04-15Close photograph of a smiling man with long dark hair swept back and a short beard, bare-chested apart from a rust-orange shawl with a gold border draped over his left shoulder. He wears a gold pendant necklace and a rudraksha mala, with a sandalwood mark on his forehead. Behind him are white metal railings and a blurred purple-and-white board, with an indistinct golden deity murti in the background. The man appears to be seated at a ceremonial event. The appearance cues of long swept hair, orange shawl, ornate gold necklace and rudraksha beads are consistent with the page's reference to a person, so this is a probable match.2018-04-15
