A man with a shaved head and teal-framed glasses stands in shallow water at the base of a dark stone structure, with water pouring down over him from above. He wears a white dhoti-style garment with gold-coloured borders across the shoulder and waist. Behind him are red and white painted walls and a red-edged ledge. The setting appears to be an outdoor temple-style pool or abhishekam area. The man is a single physical person and the page does not confirm a person's presence, so no appearance-based candidate is claimed.

A photograph of a shaved-headed man in white dhoti and white upper cloth edged with gold borders stands in water beneath a flowing stream of water, looking downward with a smile. He wears a red tilak on his forehead and a red-and-gold beaded necklace; he holds a pair of eyeglasses in one hand. Behind him are red-and-cream painted walls and a dark stone structure above. The clothing is white with gold borders and red accents, and the setting appears to be a temple tank or abhishekam-like water ritual. The person is a devotee in ritual dress; no visible cues establish a specific identity.2015-11-16November 16 20152015-11-16Three men stand waist-deep in water at the edge of a temple tank, wearing unstitched white dhotis with gold borders and bare upper bodies. The man on the left, with his head shaved except for a small tuft, bends forward while water is poured over his head from above. The man in the centre, bald, holds his hands out in front of him, and the man on the right, bald and wearing blue-tinted glasses, holds his hands together near his chest. Behind them a dark stone structure, red-painted stone walls and a metal railing frame the tank. The scene appears to be a ritual bath or abhishekam-style purification.2015-11-16November 16 20152015-11-16November 16 20152015-11-16December 19 20102010-12-19 +1 copiesDecember 23 20162016-12-23October 11 20162016-10-11December 19 20102010-12-19 +1 copiesOctober 17 20102010-10-17December 19 20102010-12-19 +1 copiesA photograph of a temple ritual at a stone shivalinga-style pedestal with a wide basin. A man with long swept-back dark hair and a small red forehead mark, wearing an orange-saffron cloth draped over his shoulders, pours water from a brass vessel over the lingam, with water streaming down. A man in white clothing lies prostrate on the wet stone floor in front of the pedestal. Behind them an orange-robed monk stands, and another orange-robed figure is partly visible on the right near brass lamps and a gold kalasha. A red cloth hangs from a pillar. Stone pillars, a concrete wall and a metal roof frame the scene. Swamiji (probable): the long-haired man in orange performing abhishekam shows long hair and saffron clothing, consistent with the page's reference.2007-02-23
