A man with short slicked-back hair, a red bindi and a long rudraksha mala stands with hands folded in prayer beside a golden oil lamp. He wears a white dhoti and white sleeveless upper cloth edged in red. Beside him, a white statue of a deity wears a purple turban and purple garment. Behind him, a framed picture of a seated figure hangs on an orange wall, and a small brass lamp is mounted above it. The setting is an outdoor temple courtyard with carved grey stone pillars at the left.2011-10-14October 14 20112011-10-14October 14 20112011-10-14October 11 20112011-10-11A photograph of a shaved-headed? no — a man with hair tied back in a bun stands at a stone basin or tank, hands pressed together at chest level, gazing upward. He wears a white dhoti-style garment with a gold-bordered shawl, a red tilak on his forehead and a long rudraksha mala. Behind him, a second man in white with a gold border stands with hands folded. Orange curtains, a carved stone pillar and a red wall frame the setting; a brass vessel sits at the lower left. Appearance-based cues are limited to white ritual clothing and rudraksha, so identity is uncertain; the page does not confirm a person at this event.2011-09-13December 27 20112011-12-27November 23 20112011-11-23A photograph of a man in white ritual dress standing with palms pressed together in front of a shrine, beside a tall brass oil lamp on a stone ledge.

Beside him, a brass kalasha pot, a small brass bowl, a conch shell and a brass spoon sit on a white marble tray. To the left, a white statue dressed in pink and purple with a pink turban sits on a pedestal in front of carved stone pillars. Pink and red walls and a palm plant frame the scene.2011-11-14A photograph of a man in white ritual dress standing barefoot in an open pavilion with red pillars, palm trees and greenery behind him in soft morning haze. He wears a white dhoti and white shawl edged with red, and a long dark rudraksha mala. His hands are pressed together in anjali mudra and his head is bowed. To the left, a golden deity murti with a yellow and red garment and floral garlands holds a raised ceremonial object. The man has short dark hair and no visible crown, turban or saffron robe, so his identity as a person is uncertain.2011-10-14A photograph of a long-haired man in a white dhoti-style cloth with a gold-bordered yellow shawl, wearing a long rudraksha mala around his neck and holding the beads in his hands. He has a red tilak on his forehead and gazes upward beside a carved stone pillar. Behind him, a blurred man in an orange robe stands with palms pressed together in namaskar near a red wall.
