Outdoors beside a river ghat, a man in an orange-red dhoti and shawl stands with palms joined before a white altar heaped with marigold and rose garlands and a brass plate and bowl. He wears a red-and-pink flower garland around his neck. To his left, a young boy with a shaved head and glasses wears a cream padded vest over pink robes, arms folded, with saffron-clothed monastics beside him. Behind them a man in a grey jacket and white trousers photographs the scene with a camera, and a stray dog walks along the path beside a railing overlooking the water. This appears to be a padapuja at a riverside location.

A man in a rust-red shawl and dhoti with a gold-bordered yellow cloth stands at a white marble platform, hands placed on a heap of marigold, white and pink flower petals. A pink-and-white flower garland hangs around his neck and a small tilak mark is on his forehead.

The central man wears an orange saffron shawl over a red long-sleeved top and a black turtleneck, with a long dark rudraksha mala hanging to his waist, a red tilak on his forehead, and a leather pouch in his hand. Eyes lowered, he walks with composed posture. To the left, a man in orange robes with a wristwatch walks alongside. Behind them, a man in white dhoti and orange shawl films with a camcorder, and a man in white kurta stands nearby. A woman in an orange sari with hands folded stands at the right edge, with a bright sky and hillside behind.2008-07-01Photo 11733940 +2 copiesFebruary 12 20132013-02-12 +2 copiesFebruary 12 20132013-02-12 +1 copiesJanuary 22 20142014-01-22 +1 copiesA seated man in a maroon-red turban and bare shoulders, wearing a maroon and gold-bordered cloth wrap, is adorned with a long marigold and white jasmine garland. A tall silver staff rises behind him. Behind, a man with a shaved head and glasses, in maroon robes with gold borders and a rudraksha mala, holds a small silver pot. Another person in maroon stands at right, and a woven red patterned mat lies beneath the seated man beside stone steps overlooking a river. The seated man's appearance is consistent with a person identification based on his turban, bare-shouldered maroon attire, and garland, but the cues are limited to these, so the identity remains uncertain.2015-10-03
