A photograph of a figure in a sleeveless saffron-orange top and orange cloth, with long dark hair and a white and red flower garland around the neck, holding a lit oil lamp (aarti) toward a deity or shrine. The shrine is decorated with a dense wall of red, yellow, white, green and purple flower garlands. A red cloth hangs at left and green trees are visible through an open pillared hall. The figure's face is turned away, so the person's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance; the event is not stated in the image itself.2009-07-07A photograph of a long-haired man in a sleeveless saffron-orange robe with a matching orange wrap over his shoulder, a white and red garland around his neck, standing and holding a small brass bell and a lit oil lamp with a flame toward a richly decorated altar.

He wears an orange-saffron robe with a gold-bordered shawl and a white and red flower garland around his neck, and holds a lit oil lamp in a small metal dish with a flame. To the right, another man in a dark shirt holds a silver bowl. Green banana leaves and a striped tent roof are visible behind.
