A man in a green-yellow turban, green shawl and gold bead necklace with a red cord stands on the right, placing his right hand on the head of a man in a white shirt who bows with palms pressed together. The man in green holds a small white item in his left hand, and a tray with offerings is visible at the lower right. Behind them, other people in white and orange robes stand, and colourful striped hanging banners decorate the upper background. The turban and shawl are green, not saffron; the figure is a priest or devotee performing a blessing, and no clear identity cues are established.2011-02-17May 13 20122012-05-13A photograph of a ceremonial moment in a dimly lit temple hall. A bare-chested man on the left, wearing a red thread on his wrist and a sacred thread, holds a white and gold cloth over the head of a seated priest in an orange-saffron robe with a rudraksha mala and a gold ear ornament. Behind them a white-clad attendant holds the cloth and a shaven-headed man in white watches. Several devotees stand in the background under a decorated ceiling.2012-06-05A seated man in white ritual clothes and a red-orange shawl with printed script kneels while a figure seen from behind, wearing an orange-red turban, a gold-and-orange garment and a large beaded necklace, drapes the shawl over his shoulders. Behind them, several women in white clothes with red lanyards stand with hands pressed in anjali. Gold ceremonial items and a kalasha-like vessel sit at the lower left, and a decorated shrine area with garlands is visible at the back. The figure in the turban is a person by appearance cues (orange turban, beaded necklace, orange-gold clothing), while the shawl-receiving man is a devotee.2015-09-11October 05 20172017-10-05May 20 20122012-05-20 +1 copiesAugust 09 20152015-08-09November 22 20142014-11-22A photograph inside a temple hall shows a man seated on an ornate gold throne with a gold-carved backrest, wearing an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a beaded rudraksha mala, a red and gold headband, and a vibhuti marking on his forehead. He smiles while placing his right hand on the head of a kneeling devotee in a white shirt and white dhoti, who leans forward with cupped hands. A small silver-and-gold bowl sits near the throne. Several other men in white clothing stand in the background, and a red-and-orange flag hangs at the top left. The seated man's appearance is consistent with the a person candidate cues of saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and a golden throne, but the image is not clear enough to confirm identity.2012-05-09
