Outdoor photograph of a man in orange-saffron robes standing on a white metal platform beside a large grey stone lingam draped in bands of red, pink, yellow, white and green flower garlands. He raises his right hand in a blessing gesture, wears a rudraksha mala and a tilak on his forehead, and has long dark hair. Above him a golden parasol with multicoloured tassels shades the platform. A second person in orange clothing stands at the right railing holding a flower garland, and a few more orange-clad attendants are visible on the lower steps. The sky is pale and overcast. Identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.

An ornate fringed canopy with a yellow pole shelters the scene against a pale grey sky. A second person in orange sits behind him on the platform, and another orange-clad figure is partly visible at the right edge. The man has long dark hair, a beard and a forehead tilak. The setting suggests a ceremonial abhishekam or puja offering on a monumental stone form.2018-01-01 +1 copiesA bearded man with long swept-back dark hair sits cross-legged on a raised white metal platform beside a large grey stone sphere draped with garlands of marigolds in red, yellow, white and green. He wears a rust-orange sleeveless top, an orange lower cloth, a rudraksha mala and a thin gold necklace, with a vermilion mark on his forehead, and looks calmly to one side. Behind him, attendants in orange robes and one in a white dhoti stand on the railed steps holding ceremonial items, under a golden umbrella with multicoloured tassels against a pale sky. The scene appears to be a ceremonial outdoor event, and the man is a person in person.2018-01-01 +1 copiesJanuary 01 20182018-01-01January 01 20182018-01-01 +1 copiesJanuary 01 20182018-01-01 +1 copiesA photograph of an outdoor procession on a flower-covered float.
