A photograph of a shaved-headed man in white dhoti and white upper cloth edged with gold borders stands in water beneath a flowing stream of water, looking downward with a smile. He wears a red tilak on his forehead and a red-and-gold beaded necklace; he holds a pair of eyeglasses in one hand. Behind him are red-and-cream painted walls and a dark stone structure above. The clothing is white with gold borders and red accents, and the setting appears to be a temple tank or abhishekam-like water ritual. The person is a devotee in ritual dress; no visible cues establish a specific identity.

A man with a shaved head and teal-framed glasses stands in shallow water at the base of a dark stone structure, with water pouring down over him from above. He wears a white dhoti-style garment with gold-coloured borders across the shoulder and waist. Behind him are red and white painted walls and a red-edged ledge. The setting appears to be an outdoor temple-style pool or abhishekam area. The man is a single physical person and the page does not confirm a person's presence, so no appearance-based candidate is claimed.2015-11-16November 16 20152015-11-16Three men stand waist-deep in water at the edge of a temple tank, wearing unstitched white dhotis with gold borders and bare upper bodies. The man on the left, with his head shaved except for a small tuft, bends forward while water is poured over his head from above. The man in the centre, bald, holds his hands out in front of him, and the man on the right, bald and wearing blue-tinted glasses, holds his hands together near his chest. Behind them a dark stone structure, red-painted stone walls and a metal railing frame the tank. The scene appears to be a ritual bath or abhishekam-style purification.2015-11-16December 19 20102010-12-19November 16 20152015-11-16Three shaved-headed men in white dhoti and white upper cloths edged with gold border stand in shallow water beside a red-and-cream stone bathing platform with metal railings. The man on the left, with a red neck cord, cups water in his hands; the two beside him stand close, one wearing blue-framed glasses. Water runs down the stone wall behind them, and a fourth person in red is faintly visible on the steps at right.2015-11-16A shaved-headed man in plain white ritual cloth, draped over one shoulder, stands speaking into a handheld microphone he holds with both hands. He wears a heavy gold bead necklace with a large pendant and gold bangles, and smiles while looking to the side. Behind him are orange walls with white-and-red striped panels and a red curtain, with a carved stone pillar at the left edge. The setting suggests a satsang discourse.2010-12-19A single man walks along a red-carpeted corridor with steel handrails, past a red-brown wall and a teal information board. He wears a white dhoti and white upper cloth with orange-red edging, a rudraksha-style bead necklace and a large gold pendant, copper-coloured armlets, and a red bindi on his forehead. A tall colourful woven banner with floral and bird motifs hangs beside the doorway.2011-11-14 +1 copiesNovember 16 20152015-11-16November 16 20152015-11-16October 29 20112011-10-29 +1 copiesA photograph of a shaved-headed? no — a man with hair tied back in a bun stands at a stone basin or tank, hands pressed together at chest level, gazing upward. He wears a white dhoti-style garment with a gold-bordered shawl, a red tilak on his forehead and a long rudraksha mala. Behind him, a second man in white with a gold border stands with hands folded. Orange curtains, a carved stone pillar and a red wall frame the setting; a brass vessel sits at the lower left. Appearance-based cues are limited to white ritual clothing and rudraksha, so identity is uncertain; the page does not confirm a person at this event.2011-09-13
