A close photograph of a priest in a rust-orange dhoti and draped cloth with a gold border, wearing a large gold ceremonial pendant and a braided hair ornament. He holds a small silver spouted cup in one hand and a silver vessel in the other, pouring liquid during a ritual. Blurred foreground stalks and a gold-trimmed altar with a white cloth are visible, and an oil flame glows at the lower edge.

He is bare-chested with a sheer orange shawl draped over one shoulder, wearing long rudraksha malas across the chest, bangles and rudraksha bands on his arms, and gold-rimmed glasses, and his head is shaved. Behind him stand a red and gold ornate throne and a figure in red and white robes beside flower garlands, in a warm-lit temple-like room. Appearance-based candidate for a person: his saffron clothing, extensive rudraksha malas and ceremonial adornments are the cues, and he is the one performing the aarti.2015-04-30September 28 20172017-09-28 +1 copiesJanuary 08 20122012-01-08June 15 20132013-06-15 +1 copies
