Beside it stands a man in a reddish-brown ochre robe, a long rudraksha-style bead necklace, and a garland of white and red flowers, with long dark hair and a beard, smiling and looking down. A hand holds a brass plate toward him, and a palm tree and oil lamp stand in the background. The scene looks like a temple or ashram ritual, but the man's face is not visible enough to confirm identity; his appearance shows a rudraksha mala and ochre robe with long hair, a shawl-like wrap and garlands, which gives only partial cues.2017-01-01January 01 20172017-01-01January 01 20172017-01-01January 01 20172017-01-01Outdoor photo beside a large carved wooden kalasha-style pillar with a tiered top, wrapped with white and red garlands and yellow marigold strands and topped with green leaves.
