A photograph of an indoor hospital-style lobby where a man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban, wearing layered white jasmine and pink flower garlands and a rudraksha mala, touches a small black metal statue of a standing deity on a white-draped table. A brass oil lamp burns in front, with scattered pink rose petals. Behind him, a woman in a white sari with a red bindi and a woman in a white coat stand near a carved wooden door, and several other women in saris and glasses are visible. The orange-robed man shows cues consistent with the page's claim of a person's presence, including a turban, rudraksha mala and flower garlands, though the appearance is not certain enough to confirm identity.2003-07-27Photograph of a crowded indoor darshan gathering. A long-haired man in orange sleeveless clothing sits at right, reaching forward to hold the hand of an elderly bald man in white who bows toward him. Around them, devotees in white shirts and dhotis press close; a woman in a red bindi and a woman with a ponytail in white with a gold border stand nearby. A man in an orange shawl with rudraksha mala stands at upper left. Small blue and white brochures sit on a white-covered table in front. The orange-clad man shows the distinctive long, swept-back hair and orange saffron clothing, so the appearance-based label applies.2008-03-28April 16 20082008-04-16A seated man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange saffron robe, a rudraksha mala and a red tilak, sitting on a maroon quilted cushion and holding a black walking cane. Around him people sit on orange and yellow cloth in a plain room: several in white with yellow or orange shawls, hands folded in namaste, and bearded men in orange robes behind him, one holding a microphone on a stand. Fruit offerings are visible at the lower right edge of the frame.2008-03-22Photograph of a darshan scene inside a tent hall with a red curtain backdrop and colourful painted panels. A long-haired figure in a saffron-orange robe sits on a white cushioned seat, holding a tray of offerings with flowers and fruit, while a man in an orange-and-saffron robe with a shaved head stands before them. A young man in white with an orange scarf stands behind the seat. Devotees in white shirts and kurtas line up at left, some wearing garlands and orange scarves, while a woman in a white sari and a girl with a braid look on. A white flower garland lies in the foreground.2008-03-26March 26 20082008-03-26October 14 20082008-10-14March 28 20082008-03-28April 04 20082008-04-04Outdoor photo beneath a large spreading tree at a rough stone-rimmed shrine. In the left foreground, a dark stone deity murti stands within an arched metal frame, draped in orange cloth and with white flower garlands at the neck. A man in an orange robe stands centre-right with his hands folded, with long dark hair and a bead necklace. Around him are white-clad devotees: a woman in white holding a tray of flowers, two men in white kurtas with bead malas, a bespectacled man in white with folded arms, and a man in white holding a book. A red cloth is spread on the ground at right. Several people in white are at the edge of the frame.2003-07-13March 26 20082008-03-26March 26 20082008-03-26
