Behind him, several deity murtis are dressed in colourful silks and heavy jewellery, with gold crowns, a trident, and garlands of yellow and white flowers framing the altar. A black Shivalinga stands at the front. Someone appears to be performing the aarti. The figure has a forehead marking and a beaded rudraksha-style bracelet. The man bears a visible resemblance in dress and presentation to the a person candidate, with appearance cues including the distinctive turban and ceremonial attire; identity is uncertain and no face-based identification is made.2018-02-13 +1 copiesA photograph of a bearded man standing in front of a grey stone shrine, smiling with his palms pressed together in greeting.
