Photograph of a temple scene where a bare-chested man with long, swept-back dark hair, a white forehead mark and white marks on his arms, wearing a rudraksha mala, a ceremonial gold necklace and a white flower garland over an orange-and-yellow shawl, extends his hand to bless a line of devotees who bow with folded palms and bent heads. Behind him, a priest in white ritual dhoti with gold border and a saffron-robed monk stand near a red-draped altar, arches and pillars frame the hall, and a small deity picture hangs in an arched niche.2012-05-21May 12 20122012-05-12A photograph inside a hall with red curtains and a gold-and-red throne on a stage at the back.
