A close photograph of a man with closed eyes, seated among others in red and white clothing. He wears a red shawl printed with dark script and a white-and-striped garment, and a mala-like bead bracelet with yellow and purple beads. He lifts a small clear bottle or vessel toward his forehead, as if applying liquid. Other seated participants in red shawls and white cloth are partly visible at the edges, with a white patterned garment at the right. No one visible has a clear appearance cue for the named a person, so no candidate is identified.2015-09-16Photo 11712473 +2 copiesMay 24 20152015-05-24September 12 20152015-09-12Photograph of seated devotees in white kurta-style clothing with red-orange shawls printed with script, during a ritual gathering.
