A photograph of a temple courtyard with a man in orange robes standing barefoot with palms pressed together in anjali before a golden ornate chair with a cobra hood, draped in garlands and red cloth, set over a square white platform with a dark fire pit. Behind, white-clad priests stand near a red-orange temple wall with striped red and white trim, while a blue-skinned deity murti in red garments and white crown with garlands is at right, with oil lamps and brass lamp stands on the red-carpeted steps. Hanging decorative banners and a sign reading Sri Ana... hang overhead. The orange-robed man has long hair in a knot and a beaded necklace; he is an appearance-based candidate for a person, though his face and features are not clearly distinctive enough to confirm identity.2010-11-06November 06 20102010-11-06Outdoor temple courtyard with an orange-painted wall and a sign reading Sri Anandeshwari.

A man in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, with a rudraksha mala around his neck and long hair tied up, stands barefoot at left with his head bowed, facing a raised platform. Behind the platform are a dark stone deity murti with a garland, and gold-coloured standing deity statues in yellow and purple garments, with marigold garlands. Orange sandals rest on the ground. A sign at top reads Sri Anandeshwari. The man has distinctive saffron clothing and rudraksha cues, but no sufficient basis to name him, so identity is unsure.2011-09-06 +1 copiesMarch 03 20112011-03-03November 06 20102010-11-06Outdoor temple ritual under a red and gold canopy strung with orange pennants.
