A small red-orange deity murti sits in a niche beside the doorway, and an Om symbol is painted in red on the wall. On the left, a person in an orange robe and a man in a blue shirt stand at the doorway. On the right, a bare-chested man with a long swept-back hair knot, wearing a rudraksha mala and an orange-and-gold shawl, looks toward the shrine. Swamiji (probable): this figure shows long hair in a knot, rudraksha mala and orange shawl, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.2014-01-30Photograph of devotees descending the marble steps of an ornate white temple entrance decorated with coloured floral borders and a peacock motif. Several saffron-robed monks in orange and red garments walk out from the arched doorway. The foremost figure wears a white-and-red flower garland, a trident-shaped tilak on the forehead and a rudraksha mala, and carries a folded cloth. Another monk behind him holds a small object. A signboard above the door reads Mandir Sri Sri Dasha Mahavidya. Trees stand at the right edge under a bright sky. No candidate's appearance meets the distinctive-cue threshold for an identification, so the a person field remains unsure.2014-01-22January 30 20142014-01-30A photograph of a temple entrance with a painted arched doorway decorated with gold stars and an ornate border. Above the arch, a yellow band carries Hindi script. Several people in orange and maroon robes descend the marble steps. In the centre, a man in maroon robes wears a white and red flower garland around his neck. A man in front carries a striped cloth. Behind them, a person in an orange shawl holds a long silver staff, and another in orange stands on the steps. A woman in an orange shawl stands at left. The scene appears to be a temple visit or ritual procession.2014-01-22January 30 20142014-01-30January 22 20142014-01-22A group of saffron-robed sannyasis walks barefoot along a white marble pathway in front of a temple complex with white and gold spires and pillars. The central figure wears a red-orange robe with a gold-edged dhoti-style wrap and a long rudraksha mala, and holds a trident. Beside him a shaved-headed monk in matching saffron carries a long staff and a striped cloth over one arm. Behind them a man in a fitted red-orange kurta and sandals walks with the group, and a woman in white is visible further back. Marble plaques with printed text line the walls on either side of a gateway.2014-03-16
