Close-up photo of a shaved-headed man with white horizontal tilak lines and a red dot on his forehead, wearing rudraksha mala strands and a rust-brown robe. He holds a lit brass oil lamp in his outstretched right hand, flame clearly burning, and appears to be speaking. A gold bracelet and beaded wrist mala are visible. The blurred background shows a red-and-white floor with a soft-focus object. Appearance-based label: a person is not supported here, since the figure lacks the long swept-back hair, crown or turban and ornate saffron clothing cues; he reads as a priest or devotee holding an oil lamp during a satsang or puja.2013-05-31A shaved-headed man in saffron-orange robes and a long rudraksha mala sits smiling and holds a small brass bell and a lit oil lamp, with his right hand extended. A white sandalwood band marks his forehead with a red bindi, and white paste covers his upper arms. Behind him, several people in maroon robes with gold borders sit on the floor, some holding small lamps. The man is a priest or sannyasi and his appearance does not clearly match the page's a person claim.2013-07-09A shaven-headed man wearing an orange-saffron shawl draped over bare shoulders sits in front of an orange-walled room, holding a silver oil lamp with a lit flame in both hands. He wears a long necklace of dark rudraksha beads alternating with gold-coloured bead spacers, a gold bangle and a beaded armband, with white and red tilak markings on his forehead, and a small microphone clipped near his mouth as he speaks.
