A man in a dark green dhoti with a gold border and a gold-bordered shawl over his bare upper body, wearing red and beaded necklaces and bangles, holds a lit oil lamp in one hand and a small bell in the other while walking forward. Behind him, a second man in a white dhoti and white shawl with a white forehead band and beaded necklace carries a metal plate of white offerings. Tie to the page: a person cues are the central figure's dark swept-back hair, red beaded necklaces and adornments, and gold-bordered green attire, but his face cannot be confirmed from appearance, so this is an appearance-based candidate only. The scene depicts a lamp-and-bell procession, consistent with a ritual walk.2011-12-13December 16 20112011-12-16January 01 20132013-01-01December 17 20112011-12-17January 1st 2013March 07 20132013-03-07A photograph of a man standing outdoors among trees with eyes closed in a calm, meditative pose.
