A photograph taken inside a workshop with teal walls and blue shelving holding many unfinished grey stone and clay sculptures of deities, including seated and standing figures, a Nandi-like bull and small elephants. In the foreground a figure in a saffron-orange turban and saffron robe, with long dark hair and beard, stands with hands folded in front of the chest, turned toward the shelves. To the right, an older man with grey stubble and a tilak mark on his forehead, wearing a white cloth, faces the shelves beside him.

A standing man in an orange-saffron unstitched cloth draped over his shoulders and body, bare-armed, with long dark wavy hair and white and red tilak marks on his forehead. He holds a black wooden staff with reddish-orange bands and gold tips in his right hand, and stands barefoot on a coir doormat at the threshold of a dark doorway beside a pale yellow wall. Orange sandals rest on the marble step. A wall switch plate is visible. The page flags a person at this event, and the appearance cues (long swept hair, saffron cloth, tilak) are present, so this is a probable in-person candidate, though his face is not used for identification.

A barefoot man with long, swept-back black hair walks on a concrete floor, wearing an orange saffron robe draped over his shoulder and body. Around him, several men in white dhoti-and-kurta clothing move about, and at right a cameraman films with a large video camera on his shoulder. The scene appears to be a temple or ashram floor during an evening consecration event.

Photograph of an interior room with a thatched roof and plain white walls, where a figure in an orange saffron wrap and orange headwear stands with their back to the camera, facing a group of gold-coloured metal deity statues and other bronze figures on the floor and a low ledge. Several men in white dhotis and shirts, one holding a red cloth bundle, stand at the left near a wooden door. Metal tripod-like stands and equipment sit among the statues. The figure's back is bare above the wrap, with long dark hair visible, and the scene is dimly lit.

A photograph inside a temple under construction. A smiling man in a loose orange saffron robe, draped over one shoulder and gathered at the waist, stands barefoot beside an open sunken pit with concrete edges. Behind him a worker in a blue t-shirt and dark trousers, barefoot, stands near stacked tiles and a dark stone lotus-shaped base. Gold-coloured deity figures, white statues, a broom, hammers and wooden planks lie on the bare floor. The man in orange has distinctive long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, consistent with the a person appearance cues, presented as a visitor observing the work.
