A photograph of a temple ritual indoors on a tiled floor. A central man in a rust-brown dhoti-style garment wears heavy gold necklaces, gold armlets and bangles, and a dark turban-like head covering; he looks down while cupping something small in his hands. To the right, a bare-chested man in an orange cloth with rudraksha beads and a forehead marking stands with his hands extended. Behind them, devotees in white dhotis with gold borders and rust-coloured shawls stand with palms pressed together. The a person candidate is the central figure; the match rests on his adornments and turban, but his face is not visible, so the label is uncertain.2018-05-08May 11 20162016-05-11 +1 copiesSeveral men and a few women stand in a temple hall with pillars, many wearing gold-bordered white dhotis or saffron and rust-brown robes. A central man in a rust-brown robe, a dark turban-like headwrap, heavy gold garlands and gold armbands bows his head and holds small objects in cupped hands near his chest. To the right, a man with a dark headwrap and rudraksha malas over bare skin holds his hands together in prayer. Devotees with white and gold garments and gold necklaces stand behind, some with palms joined in anjali. A young boy in white with a gold garland appears in the background. The setting suggests a temple ritual.2018-05-08May 08 20182018-05-08January 24 20162016-01-24May 08 20182018-05-08May 11 20162016-05-11 +1 copiesSeptember 17 20172017-09-17 +1 copiesA photograph of a bearded man with eyes closed in a crowded temple setting.
