A young person in a red-and-maroon garment wears a long red and white flower garland and is being showered with petals and receiving pada puja-style attention from devotees. Foreground, a shaved-headed man in an orange-saffron garment with a long rudraksha mala holds a brass plate of flowers and a kalasha-style offering with leaves. Around them, women in saffron and red saris and men in white shirts press forward, some holding camera equipment and a small offering tray. A dark car with partial lettering stands behind the crowd.

A central figure wearing a rust-red turban and red-orange robe, with white and red flower garlands around the neck, is being approached by devotees and clasped hands. Shaved-headed men in saffron and orange cloth with rudraksha malas stand nearby. Several people in white clothes press forward, an elderly woman bows with a white flower bouquet, and an older man in a white shirt presses his palms together. Parked vehicles, a white van and a police officer in khaki stand in the background, and a photographer holds a camera. The scene shows a devotee visit and darshan. The central figure's turban and robe match the description of a person, but the appearance is only partially visible from behind and the cues are not conclusive, so the identity is uncertain.2014-07-01July 04 20142014-07-04 +1 copiesMay 05 20122012-05-05June 24 20142014-06-24 +1 copies
