Photograph from behind of a bare-backed man with long dark dreadlocks, wearing a rust-brown turban and a white and multicoloured beaded garland over his shoulders, with a brown sash draped diagonally across his back. Ahead stand gold-coloured deity murti with a crown and ornaments, surrounded by gold kalasha-like ornaments and a wall of marigold and rose garlands in yellow, red, purple and white. The figure has distinctive long dreadlocks, a turban and a beaded garland, a presentation that may match the page's a person reference, so the appearance-based label is probable.

February 24 20172017-02-24A man with long swept-back dark hair, a rust-brown turban and a gold armlet, wearing a brown-orange shawl over the shoulder, bows over a garlanded deity murti with his hands, adjusting gold ornaments and pink, yellow and red flower garlands on a golden figure. Behind him another priest in a deep red turban stands beside floral garlands, and a golden decorated figure appears at right. The setting is an ornate temple sanctum with a gold-framed backdrop. The man has long hair and a shawl, and the page attributes this event to a person, so the appearance-based label applies: a person, performing a puja and garlanding the murti.2016-12-14February 13 20182018-02-13January 09 20182018-01-09December 23 20162016-12-23May 31 20182018-05-31May 31 20182018-05-31Photograph of a person seen from behind in a rust-red sannyasi-style wrap, bare-shouldered, with a large coiled dark topknot bound by a band of rudraksha beads and a rudraksha mala draped diagonally across the back, plus a rudraksha armlet. Behind him are blurred deity murtis or ritual figures decorated with yellow and orange marigold garlands and red ribbons. The scene suggests a temple ritual setting, with the figure standing before the decorated murtis.2018-03-03September 10 20172017-09-10 +1 copiesPhotograph from behind of a person in a maroon wrapped turban and maroon dhoti-style garment with gold-embroidered border, long dark dreadlocked hair falling down the back with rudraksha beads, and a white jasmine garland over the shoulders.
