Outdoors among rocks and green shrubs, a man in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl pours water from a white vessel onto a large grey granite boulder, water splashing across its surface. Behind him stands a small shrine canopy with a multicoloured striped top and a framed portrait or image garlanded with red flowers, set on an orange base. A red flag flutters at the upper right. The scene reads as a ritual bathing or abhishekam of a sacred rock. The garlanded portrait is a printed picture, not a physical person, and the pouring man's face is not clear enough to support an appearance-based identity claim.

A man in saffron-orange robes stands at right, pouring liquid from a brass vessel onto a large smooth grey boulder that is splashing with water. Behind him, a small canopied shrine holds a framed portrait of a robed figure with a red garland draped over the frame, and red flowers lie among the foliage. The scene is a devotional abhishekam at a stone worship site, with the portrait honoured as a murti-like object. No candidate for a person is visibly present in the man's appearance, so the person is described only by role.2008-05-19May 19 20082008-05-19May 19 20082008-05-19May 19 20082008-05-19May 19 20082008-05-19Outdoors among green trees, palms and rocky hills, a man in saffron-orange robes pours water from a brass vessel over a large dark boulder.

The scene suggests an abhishekam-style offering at a roadside or hillside shrine.2008-05-19Outdoors among rocky hillside terrain with green shrubs and palm fronds, a man in an orange saffron dhoti and wrap performs a ritual offering. He stands behind a large grey boulder, leaning forward with both hands holding a round brass plate or tray above the rock. A small decorated shrine or palanquin-like structure with a colourful canopy and red garlands sits on top of the rock behind him, with scattered yellow flowers on the boulder surface. Orange flags flutter in the background. The figure's appearance is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm a candidate identity.2008-05-19
