A smiling man stands barefoot on a polished floor in a temple-like hall, wearing a rust-orange dhoti and matching orange shawl with gold border. He wears a long white and red flower garland, a heavy gold bead necklace with a central pendant, a red tilak on his forehead and a beaded headband. His hands are raised in front of him in a gesture of speech. Behind him are a white carved doorway, an illuminated arch, a brass oil lamp stand on the left and a wall clock. Scattered pink petals lie on the floor.

May 12 20122012-05-12A standing man in an orange-red saffron dhoti and shawl with gold borders stands on a marble step before a shrine niche. He wears a gold necklace, a rudraksha-style headband and a red tilak mark on his forehead, smiling to the side. Behind him is a white carved lion-form niche with pink flower garlands, a lit oil lamp and a small brass lamp. Two tall brass oil lamps with flowers flank the niche, and a black stone carving sits above. Swamiji (probable): long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha and a gold ceremonial necklace suggest the swamiji presentation, though the face is not identifiable from the image.2012-06-05Photo 11733551May 09 20122012-05-09June 05 20122012-06-05 +1 copiesA smiling man in rust-orange ascetic robes walks through a stone temple hall with polished floors and carved pillars, palms pressed together in greeting.

He wears a long white flower garland with dark maroon accents and a multi-strand gold bead necklace with a gold pendant. He holds his hands together near his waist and smiles toward the camera. Behind him a shrine holds a white deity murti with a red cloth, decorated with white and purple-yellow flower garlands, and brass vessels and oil lamps sit on a blue-grey altar.
