A street-level photograph outside a colourful multi-tiered temple gopuram with painted deity murti panels above a stone entrance. In the centre foreground a man with a shaved head and a rudraksha mala stands holding a silver trident, wearing a rust-red robe with gold-trimmed edges and palms raised in greeting. To his left a shaved-headed man in rust-red dhoti and bare chest stands on the tiled plaza, and to his right another man in a rust-red robe with a zebra-striped cloth over his shoulder stands near a shop front. Behind them a woman in a blue jacket and an orange-clad figure walk toward stone steps, and a black dog is visible. Shops with colourful ritual goods, prayer flags and garlands line the street. The central figure's appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity from the visible cues alone.2014-01-23A street procession of saffron-robed monks walks along a covered market lane under a blue tarpaulin. The monk in front carries a silver trident and a second monk beside him holds a long staff. The central monk wears an orange cap and maroon robes with gold borders and holds his hands together at his chest. Another monk on the right wears a pink-orange cap and orange robes and carries a small bag. Shops with hanging goods and passersby in striped shirts line the lane.2014-01-13A street scene in a hillside town, with a small shop front painted in red diamonds and yellow scalloped borders. Three men in saffron-orange robes walk along the road: the foreground man wears an orange robe with a long rudraksha mala and carries a small leopard-print pouch, a second man in orange carries a white cloth bag, and a third man in orange with a red cloth walks at left. A photographer in a red shirt with a camera stands at right. Shop signs and a wooded hill appear behind. a person appearance uncertain; the foreground figure has long hair and a rudraksha mala but the candidate cues are not clearly sufficient.2008-07-01January 13 20142014-01-13Outdoor photograph at a temple area surrounded by green trees and a red-tiled roof. A tall man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange saffron shawl, a rudraksha mala and a large gold ceremonial pendant, and he looks to the side. Beside him a second man in an orange shawl with a rudraksha mala holds a silver trident, and a third man in white dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala stands at the right edge. A red fabric banner hangs across a wall at left, and a crowd of onlookers is visible behind the railing. Appearance cues for the tall central figure are distinctive but not conclusive, so the identity is recorded as unsure; a person is not stated.2012-08-12January 23 20142014-01-23January 13 20142014-01-13January 13 20142014-01-13A procession of saffron-robed sannyasis walks along a stone path lined with trees and a roadside shelter. In the centre, a shaved-headed man in a rust-coloured robe with a yellow-striped cloth and a long beaded necklace carries a silver trident. A bald monk in orange walks beside him carrying an orange cloth, and a woman in deep red-brown robes holds a staff on the right. On the left, a man in an orange-canopied umbrella held by a second robed monk stands near spectators in white kurtas and checked shirts. The scene is a temple-area or pilgrimage walkway with crowds behind the railing.2014-03-14January 22 20142014-01-22July 10 20162016-07-10Night photograph at a temple precinct with a colourful gopuram-style shrine in the background, decorated with painted figures and bull statues. Three men walk across a stone pavement. The central man has long dark hair, a full beard and a maroon-brown dhoti and wrap, with a thick rope-like cord over his shoulder. The man on the right wears orange-saffron cloth and a rudraksha mala, and holds a white coconut or sacred fruit. The man on the left, bald and wearing a rust-brown dhoti with a flower garland and a yellow marigold-type offering, carries a bag. A woman in a green sari stands behind them, and a few other figures and parked motorcycles are visible on the left. The a person presence is only an appearance-based candidate: the central figure with long hair, beard and maroon wrap may be the a person, so the entry is marked as probable in person.2017-02-07
