A photograph of a bare-chested man with long swept-back hair, a white vibhuti line on his forehead, multiple rudraksha malas and a gold chain, wearing a tiger-striped shawl, seated smiling beside a young boy with shaved head and white sacred thread who has his hands joined in respect. Behind them stands a silver-toned deity murti with a dark face and crown, adorned with red and white garlands, next to a silver trident and gold lion-shaped decorations, with palm fronds at right. The man's distinctive long hair, rudraksha malas and tiger-striped shawl are visible cues for a person presence, shown in a ceremonial setting with a child receiving a blessing or offering respect.

May 23 20172017-05-23 +1 copiesMay 23 20172017-05-23A photograph in a dim temple-style hall shows a bearded man with a wide smile and red-and-gold-trimmed rudraksha beads on his arms and neck, wearing a tiger-striped or patterned cloth at his waist, standing before an ornate silver-framed deity murti with a dark face, red tilak, red and white garlands and a silver arched halo. He raises his right hand to the forehead of a bare-shouldered man with short dark hair who wears a white sacred thread, leaning in toward him. A palm frond and a brown-and-white cloth appear at the right edge. The bearded man is not clearly a distinctive a person candidate by cues, so the identity is uncertain.2017-05-23May 23 20172017-05-23May 23 20172017-05-23May 23 20172017-05-23 +1 copiesMay 23 20172017-05-23May 23 20172017-05-23May 23 20172017-05-23A photograph of a seated man with long dark braided hair, a white vertical tilak on his forehead, and a red-orange cloth wrapped around his body, with a leopard-print cloth at the waist and rudraksha beads and gold chains at his neck. He rests one hand on the head of a young boy kneeling before him with palms joined in namaskar, the boy wearing a white cloth and beads. Behind them a golden ornate throne or peetha with brown rudraksha-textured backing and a golden deity murti stands near a brass oil lamp, and a silver-handled staff leans in the foreground. Two people are visible. The sequence suggests a blessing given to a devotee.2017-06-01May 23 20172017-05-23August 10 20172017-08-10
