A photograph inside an ornate temple hall with carved pale stone pillars and a wooden railing in the foreground. A man in a rust-red sannyasi robe with a red and white floral garland and a long gold-and-bead necklace stands centre, eyes lowered, with a white and red tilak on his forehead. To his left a priest in a brown-orange wrap holds a metal tray with flower offerings and wears a rudraksha mala. To the right a bearded man in an orange shawl over a grey-green jacket gestures toward the garlanded man, and a bearded man in a grey jacket and white kurta stands at the far right. Several other people stand in the background.

Facing him, a person with long dark hair and a tilak wears a maroon-red shawl over a rust-brown garment with a gold border and a long beaded rudraksha-style necklace, holding out a red-and-green cloth or tray. Two shaven-headed attendants in orange-gold dhotis and rudraksha malas stand behind, one holding a red bowl. A wooden stand with small carved figures is in the background.2014-10-12Indoor photo of a welcome ceremony. A seated man with long dark hair, wearing a red-pink flower garland with gold necklaces and a reddish-brown shawl, smiles toward an older bearded man in orange robes who holds a brass tray of white flowers and petals, bending forward to offer them. Behind them, several saffron-robed monks and a man in white stand watching in a pillared room. The shaved-headed monk in orange holds the tray area; the robed figures are sannyasi and devotees. The seated garlanded man is a person by appearance cues: long hair, gold necklaces and a garland, but this is uncertain given the blur.2014-03-14May 07 20122012-05-07 +1 copiesJune 03 20162016-06-03January 08 20142014-01-08June 03 20162016-06-03August 09 20072007-08-09
