A painted or printed illustration showing a bare-chested, white-haired man in a red-orange cloth wrapped at his waist, pouring or offering liquid from a vessel over a row of brass or metal pots on a ledge. The figure's body is marked with pale ash, and the background is a warm orange wash. The figure carries distinctive adornments but the appearance is too uncertain to confirm a specific identity, so the figure is described by role as a ritual officiant.

May 09 20122012-05-09 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated ceremonial scene in a temple-style hall with gold-coloured ornate decor behind. A man in saffron-orange robes with a shaved head and a long ceremonial gold necklace sits on an elevated gold seat, extending his hand over a gold-coloured vessel on a low table. Facing him, a young boy in a white dhoti kneels with his hands together. Another saffron-robed attendant sits in the background. The setting suggests a puja or abhishekam ritual. The man shows distinctive saffron clothing and ceremonial gold adornment, consistent with the page's reference to a person, but appearance alone is uncertain.2012-05-09May 07 20122012-05-07 +1 copiesMay 10 20122012-05-10 +1 copiesMay 14 20122012-05-14Photo 11725480 +1 copiesMay 09 20122012-05-09 +1 copiesA photograph of a shaven-headed priest in an orange-saffron cloth seated before an ornate golden shrine with a small deity murti, arms extended over a lit oil lamp and brass vessels on a wooden stand.
