A photograph of a man with long dark dreadlocked hair, wearing a saffron-orange cloth and multiple rudraksha bead malas, bowing forward with palms pressed together in namaskar beside a bright blue doorway. Inside the doorway a small shrine area with a green-and-brown offering stand and yellow flowers is visible. The man's face is partly turned away from the camera. The appearance-based cues of long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas are present, but a clearly identifying frontal view is not, so the identity is uncertain.2018-03-01March 01 20182018-03-01A man with long dreadlocked hair and a short beard stands in profile in a narrow temple corridor, hands pressed together in front of his chest in an anjali gesture. He wears a rust-red wrap over his shoulders and bare upper body, with rudraksha mala beads around his neck and on his upper arm. Beside him a dark stone deity murti stands against a white wall, and a blue-framed doorway opens to the right, with a green offering tray and a lit lamp visible nearby. A second person with long hair is partly visible at the left edge. The scene suggests devotional worship at a shrine.2018-03-01March 01 20182018-03-01Side profile photograph of a bare-chested man with eyes closed, palms pressed together in anjali mudra near his chest. He wears a large swept-back turban of twisted dark hair, a white vertical forehead mark, a gold stud earring, and multiple rows of rudraksha malas on his neck and forearms. A rust-orange shawl drapes over one shoulder and a tiger-striped cloth is wrapped at his waist. A blurred audience of a few people sits at the lower left against a dark background.
