He wears long rudraksha mala necklaces, a rudraksha armlet and a wrist mala, and has long dark wavy hair. He is outdoors in a sandy ashram-like setting with a low stone platform at the base of the tree. The man is one visible person; the appearance is consistent with the candidate described on the page, but identification is uncertain from the image alone, so the role is given as a devotee-like figure in ritual dress.2011-12-12A man in rust-orange and gold-bordered saffron-toned cloth leans his forehead against the trunk of a large banyan tree with exposed aerial roots. He wears a coral-orange beaded shawl over his shoulder, a long necklace of gold beads, and a gold armlet on his upper arm, with his eyes lowered. His long dark hair is swept back. Behind him are green trees, a tiled stone platform and white pillars in a sandy courtyard setting. Appearance cues include long swept-back hair, a saffron-orange shawl and gold ornaments, but the image shows no clear identifying detail beyond these.2013-05-19A man with long, wavy dark hair stands in profile beside a large grey tree trunk with hanging aerial roots, resting his forehead against the bark with eyes closed. He wears a red silk garment with gold zari stripes and a wide gold-bordered green-edged shawl draped over one shoulder, with a sacred tilak mark on his forehead. Multiple strands of rudraksha beads and dark beads hang around his neck, and rudraksha bracelets and an armlet adorn his arms. The setting is an outdoor garden with blurred greenery and a reddish building in the background. The scene reads as a devotional, meditative posture against the tree.2011-12-12April 06 20132013-04-06 +1 copiesDecember 22 20102010-12-22A man in saffron-orange robes with gold-yellow borders stands leaning his head against the trunk of a large banyan tree with aerial roots, eyes closed in quiet devotion. He wears a long gold-coloured necklace, a gold armband and bangles, and a red-and-white tilak on his forehead. His hair is swept back, and a wrap of orange fabric drapes over one shoulder. Behind him is an open outdoor grounds of red earth, greenery and a small stone platform.

He wears a rudraksha mala necklace, rudraksha bracelets on his arm and wrist, and a flower garland woven into his upturned hair. His eyes are closed and his posture is still and reverent. A pink flower garland hangs on the trunk to the left. Behind him are a white-walled raised platform, bare earth, stone blocks and an orange boundary wall in an open courtyard. The man is shown as a devotee in meditative stillness; no identity is asserted from appearance.2012-05-03May 25 20132013-05-25May 26 20132013-05-26 +1 copies
