A photograph of three men in a narrow carved-wood corridor. On the right, a smiling man in a rust-orange dhoti and shawl wears a gold crown, layered gold necklaces and white flower garlands with red accents, and holds one hand out with a gold ring. Beside him, an older man with a shaved head, white sandalwood paste on his forehead and arms, a gold crown and white and red garlands extends his arm toward him in welcome. At left, a seated man in white clothes with a red kumkum dot and a dark rudraksha mala smiles and claps. Other men stand behind in white garments. Two of the central figures have distinctive adornments matching the a person cues, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.

Indoor photograph in a marble-walled corridor where a smiling man in orange-saffron robes, a gold ornate necklace, a gold-and-red floral headband and a flower garland stands beside an older bald-headed priest with white and red forehead markings, also in a flower garland and red-gold headband. Another man in white dhoti and shawl, with a red tilak, places his palms together in greeting at lower left. Several attendants in white dhotis stand behind. One saffron-robed figure wears a gold necklace and bangles, and the older priest wears a rudraksha mala; their appearance is not sufficient to confirm an identity, so the candidate is marked unsure. Garlands of white flowers and orange blossoms hang on both figures, and a light fixture hangs in the background.2012-04-29April 29 20122012-04-29April 29 20122012-04-29April 29 20122012-04-29April 29 20122012-04-29April 29 20122012-04-29Three smiling men stand in a doorway of a light-coloured interior with wooden panelling. The central figure wears white and red ash markings on the forehead, a bare upper body with a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant, and a wide-tied saffron dhoti, with a flower garland and a gold crown-like headband. Beside him, a man in a saffron-and-red cloth wears a long gold necklace, a rudraksha mala, a gold headband and a white flower garland. A man in white with a dark rudraksha-style mala crouches at the lower left with hands pressed together. Behind them, a man raises one arm and other attendants in white and saffron stand close by. Appearance-based cues suggest a person in the central figure with the crown and ornate gold necklaces, though this is uncertain.2012-04-29A photograph in a narrow temple corridor with carved white and wooden walls. In the centre, a young man in a rust-orange robe with a gold-coloured headband and layered gold necklaces is being garlanded with a long white jasmine garland decorated with gold-coloured flowers. A bald elder in white dhoti and shawl with white forehead marks stands beside him holding the garland, and a man in white clothing reaches in from the lower left to help. Behind them, several men in saffron and white attire stand and watch. The scene reads as a welcome garlanding with a festive, devotional atmosphere.2012-04-29A photo of a doorway in a temple-like interior with polished stone walls and carved white panels. Two saffron-robed figures stand in the doorway, one shaved-headed and bare-chested with a white sandalwood mark on the forehead, wearing a white flower garland with red roses, a rudraksha mala and gold ceremonial necklaces; the other wears a flower crown, gold necklaces and a saffron garment. A man in white in the lower left holds a large curved white flower garland. Several other saffron-robed attendants stand behind in the corridor.2012-04-29Four men stand together in a dim temple doorway, all in orange-saffron robes. On the right, a smiling man with long dark hair, a gold crown-band, red and white flower garlands and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace raises one hand in greeting; the person on the far right looks like Swamiji (probable), based on the long hair, crown, saffron clothing and ornate gold necklace. Beside him, an older man with a white-painted forehead, a red-and-white garland and dark rudraksha beads smiles. A bald man in orange with a gold chain and red forehead mark stands behind them, and a partly visible person is at the edge. The page lists the setting as a Kanchanoor temple visit, but nothing visible establishes that place.2012-05-16May 16 20122012-05-16 +1 copiesA crowded photograph of a temple-type ritual gathering. In the centre, a bare-chested man with long dark hair and a rudraksha headband wears white and orange cloth, a white flower garland with red blooms, a gold chain, and a red bindi with white sacred marks on his forehead and arms. Beside him, a shaven-headed elderly priest with a rudraksha headband, a white and orange garland and rudraksha mala is being adorned by an attendant. Around them, saffron-robed attendants, shaven-headed men with white vibhuti marks, and white-clad onlookers press close. A kalasha-style brass item is held at left. The pictured figure's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, but identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.2012-06-05
