A photograph in dim light shows a man in profile standing before a dark backdrop, smiling with both hands pressed over his chest. He wears a thick garland of red and white flowers with gold-toned beads, a bare upper body, gold bangles on his upper arm and wrist, and a small gold earring. A white horizontal line marks his forehead. Yellow and white flower garlands hang on a pillar at left, and a few other people stand faintly in the background at right.2014-12-05A bare-chested man stands in dim, night-time light against a dark background, wearing a long orange-brown cloth draped over his shoulder and a dense set of gold and yellow flower garlands over multiple rudraksha malas. He has a red bindi on his forehead, a large gold ceremonial pendant at his chest, gold armlets and bangles, and wears small round earrings. His eyes are lowered and his hands are held together at his waist. A shadowy figure in an orange garment stands behind him on the right, and a gilded decorative edge is visible at the left.
