Outdoor photo of a bearded man with long dark hair, a vertical tilak and white forehead marking, wearing a maroon-brown robe and a long double-strand rudraksha mala. He wears a thick white and red-rose garland and stands with palms pressed together, gazing upward. Behind him, figures in orange and white clothing carry a silver tray and a yellow-orange flag with floral embroidery hangs at left, under a colourful tasseled canopy of red, blue, white and orange. Green trees form the background. Appearance-based candidate: a person, a central figure with long hair, rudraksha mala and garland, though the appearance is not conclusive and his role is the central devotee in a procession. Other attendees appear as priests and devotees.

He wears a rust-brown robe with gold border, a rudraksha mala, and long garlands of white jasmine and red flowers, with white tripundra on his forehead and a red bindi. Behind him, attendants in orange and gold dhotis with bare chests, white ash markings and gold necklaces stand, one holding a tray of offerings at right, under shady trees.2017-01-01January 01 20172017-01-01January 01 20172017-01-01January 01 20172017-01-01A man stands in folded-hands namaste with a long garland of white jasmine and orange and red roses around his neck and shoulders, wearing a rust-brown draped cloth and rudraksha malas on his arms and chest. A sandalwood tilak marks his forehead. Behind him on the right, a man in cream dhoti with a gold-bordered shawl stands beside a large drum, and on the left a person in orange cloth holds a tall golden staff while another holds a brass plate. Smoke or incense haze fills the dim night setting with a crowd behind. The scene reads as a ritual gathering. Appearance-based cues: long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and garland, but no crown, throne or ceremonial gold necklace visible, so identity is uncertain.2017-10-19
