He wears a white turban with gold sequined trim, an orange saffron-coloured cloth wrap over the shoulders, a long white flower garland, gold armband and bracelet, and red beaded necklaces. Behind him a dark blue curtain and a large painted cutout of a figure's face and hand with red bangles appear. The setting suggests an aarti ritual with a lamp.2008-12-29December 29 20082008-12-29December 25 20082008-12-25 +1 copiesA photograph of a man in a saffron-orange robe standing outdoors beneath a stone temple canopy, holding a tall brass standing lamp whose cup carries a lit flame. He wears a long white and red flower garland, with a vertical mark on his forehead and long dark hair swept back. Beside him stands a painted wooden cutout of a fierce deity face with red and yellow colouring and bared teeth. Red cloth hangs behind the lamp and green foliage fills the background. Appearance-based cues of long hair, saffron clothing and a garland match a person candidate performing an aarti-style lamp ritual, though the image is uncertain.2008-12-25 +1 copiesJuly 07 20092009-07-07December 28 20082008-12-28December 28 20082008-12-28December 25 20092009-12-25June 09 20092009-06-09
