A photograph of a man in a saffron-orange shawl and robes, with a shaved head and white tilak markings, reaching up with his right arm to adjust a richly decorated deity murti. The murti wears a gold crown and a white cloth, draped with a long garland of red, yellow, green and white flowers, with beaded mala strands hanging below. A gold-framed backdrop stands behind, and a printed sheet rests in the lower left corner. The man's features are not clear enough to confirm identity, and his visible cues are a shawl and tilak only.2008-05-03May 09 20122012-05-09 +1 copiesA shaved-headed man in an orange-saffron dhoti with gold border walks across a glossy marble floor past an ornate gold throne on the left. He wears a long rudraksha mala and a white band across his forehead, and a fresh white marking is visible on his brow. A second man in the background, wearing an orange shawl and gold necklace, stands near a white temple-style archway, and a partially visible person stands behind him. The setting appears to be a temple hall with carved stone pillars.2012-05-12A man in saffron and maroon ceremonial robes performs abhishekam on a large black stone lingam, holding a white cloth to the top of the lingam while a gold-necklace and rudraksha-style beaded mala hangs at his chest. He has a shaved head and a tilak mark on his forehead. Behind him stands a gold ornate arch framing a deity murti decorated with flower garlands, and a dark backdrop. The scene is a temple-style Shiva puja at an event.2008-05-03A figure in saffron-orange robes with a red-and-saffron head covering and a long gold-beaded necklace stands at right, draping a white cloth over a large dark stone or metal deity murti. Gold ornaments and a lit gold prabhavali-style backdrop appear at left. Possible abhishekam or decorating ritual; the figure's distinctive ornate necklace and saffron attire form the cues for an appearance-based candidate, labelled as such.2008-05-03May 03 20082008-05-03May 09 20122012-05-09 +1 copiesMay 12 20122012-05-12May 03 20082008-05-03A photograph of a ritual abhishekam at a temple-style hall. In the foreground a large dark stone Nandi bull is seen from the side. Behind it, a man in saffron-orange robes with a red-edged cloth draped over his head and shoulders wears a multi-strand white beaded necklace and a large pendant, with a tilak on his forehead. He holds a small metal vessel in his right hand. Behind him are a decorated deity murti garlanded with flowers and a gilded throne-like seat with draped fabric. A lamp glows at the left edge. Visible identity cues of saffron clothing, a head covering, ornate necklace and ritual setting match the a person candidate; the appearance is consistent with the page's claim.2008-05-03A shaved-headed man in saffron-orange robes with a red-banded shawl stands at left with palms pressed together in namaste. Beside him, water is poured over a dark stone deity murti, with a stream of water visible at centre. Behind, a deity image garlanded with marigolds and a kalasha-like brass vessel sit in a temple shrine, with coloured murtis of standing figures and a red EXIT sign on the wall. The scene suggests an abhishekam at a temple shrine. The man is a person candidate in appearance, though a shaved head and orange robes alone are limited cues, so identity is uncertain.2008-05-03May 03 20082008-05-03
