He faces left with his hand extended. Beside him a man in white-and-gold ritual cloth has a red and white tilak on his forehead and holds a hand out. Other devotees stand behind with dark hair, red tilak marks and gold beaded necklaces. The Swamiji (probable) cues are the dreadlocks, flower crown, shawl and garland, placed as the central figure receiving honour during the temple visit.

He holds a green leaf plate toward a priest and is surrounded by devotees in saffron and orange cloth with rudraksha malas. A woman in white with hands folded watches from the left, and a bell hangs at the top of the frame. The man's distinctive pink crown and garlands are the only visible identifiers; his identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so the a person candidate is recorded as unsure.2018-05-08Photograph inside a temple hall with a tiled, thatched roof and wooden pillars. A central man in a dark maroon dhoti and shawl wears a large gold-and-red floral garland and a dark turban, smiling as a man beside him places a hand on his shoulder. Around him, several men in saffron-orange dhotis and wrapped cloths, some bare-chested with white sandalwood marks on their arms and chests, wear rudraksha malas and stand close together; one holds his hands in namaskar. Brass lamps and a red-wrapped object are visible at the edges. The setting suggests a temple visit with devotees gathered around a central figure receiving honours.2018-05-08June 05 20122012-06-05
