A man in orange sannyasi-style clothing stands barefoot on a patterned mat in a temple courtyard, bent forward at the waist and reaching toward a grey granite plinth carved with floral and scroll motifs. A dark carved stone niche with a deity figure stands behind him, and a red-and-white painted wall and a hanging red-orange cloth curtain frame the scene. His dark hair is swept back and he holds a dark rudraksha-style mala in one hand.

A man in a saffron-orange sleeveless top and orange dhoti stands barefoot, bowing forward at a waist-high grey granite ledge carved with floral and animal reliefs. He holds a dark rudraksha mala in his right hand and rests his head against the stone edge in deep reverence. Beside him stands a red and gold brocade-covered cylindrical pedestal topped with a silver finial, with a red-and-orange drape and a red-and-white striped wall behind. The setting suggests a temple courtyard. Only one person is visible.2010-09-12July 20 20102010-07-20November 15 20102010-11-15Photograph of a bare-footed man in an orange sleeveless top and orange dhoti-style wrap bending forward at a grey stone shrine plinth with carved lion and floral motifs.
