Beside him a bald man in orange robes and gold beads holds a silver oil lamp with a lit flame toward him. The setting appears to be an indoor ceremonial or aarti moment.

A photograph of a seated figure in an orange sleeveless robe and orange dhoti with long dark swept-back hair, a red bindi and a gold bead mala draped at the chest, hands pressed together in anjali in front of the chest with eyes lowered. Silver-tinged pink and gold brocade cloths drape the cushioned seat. Below, a silver tray holds pink and white flower petals in which the seated figure's feet rest, while a bald attendant in glasses and an orange garment pours or offers from a silver vessel with a lit wick on a spouted stand. This is padapuja-style foot worship, and the seated figure is shown as a devotee-style subject in a ritual setting, so the appearance cues are strong but not conclusive.2009-10-11A photograph of a seated figure in orange sleeveless robes and orange trousers, with a red bindi, long dark hair and a gold bead necklace, hands pressed together in prayer namaskar with eyes lowered.
