A photograph of an outdoor courtyard beside a red-painted building with a corrugated metal roof. On the right, a man in an orange saffron dhoti and shawl, with rudraksha malas hanging to his chest and a red tilak on his forehead, stands with one hand raised near his chest and his gaze lifted. On the left, a white statue of a seated figure with hands folded in anjali mudra is decorated with a yellow and purple flower garland, and a red cloth covers a surface in the foreground. A framed picture of a deity hangs on the wall, and a red signboard reads about more than 20,000 people and 347 countries. The person is in the orange-clothed sannyasi style with malas, but the appearance is not conclusive enough to confirm an identity.

Behind him a bald man in a white dhoti and white shawl with a gold chain holds a silver tray of offerings, and a woman in a brown sari stands further back. A wall plaque in English and a red wall sign are visible, with a tall speaker mounted on the wall and potted plants at the left.2010-11-13A photograph of a man in orange saffron robes and a rudraksha mala standing with palms pressed together in namaskar, smiling and gazing upward beside a seated white and red statue of a robed figure with clasped hands. He has a red bindi on his forehead and a gold-bordered orange shawl. Behind him are a framed deity picture, a hanging brass bell, and a red wall with printed signage. A brass lamp stands in the lower left foreground. The man is an appearance-based candidate for a person but the identification is uncertain, so he is described by role as a devotee in orange robes.2011-09-20A man in an orange saffron shawl with a gold border and a rudraksha mala draped across his chest stands at a stone counter, touching his forehead with his right hand in a salutation gesture. Beside him on the left, a statue of a seated figure in red robes and a red turban has its hands folded in prayer. Behind them is a red-orange wall with a framed picture and a small brass oil lamp in the lower left foreground. Signage on the wall is partly visible, and a microphone stand is at the right edge.2011-09-20November 13 20102010-11-13November 13 20102010-11-13A man stands at the edge of a stone-rimmed water tank in a temple courtyard with hands pressed together at his chest in namaskar. He wears a saffron-orange shawl wrapped over his shoulders and bare-shouldered, with a long rudraksha mala of brown beads with silver spacers hanging to his waist, and a red bindi and white tilak on his forehead. Behind him an orange wall displays a framed picture of a deity seated in meditation, and a small notice is pinned beside it. A red-and-yellow structure and the water surface fill the foreground. Visible cues are a rudraksha mala and saffron wrap, but the appearance is not distinctive enough to name him, so he is described by role as a devotee at the tank.2011-10-12A photograph of a shaved-headed? no — a man with hair tied back in a bun stands at a stone basin or tank, hands pressed together at chest level, gazing upward. He wears a white dhoti-style garment with a gold-bordered shawl, a red tilak on his forehead and a long rudraksha mala. Behind him, a second man in white with a gold border stands with hands folded. Orange curtains, a carved stone pillar and a red wall frame the setting; a brass vessel sits at the lower left. Appearance-based cues are limited to white ritual clothing and rudraksha, so identity is uncertain; the page does not confirm a person at this event.2011-09-13A photograph in a temple courtyard shows a man in saffron-orange robes with a gold-beaded necklace and gold armbands standing with hands clasped at his waist, with a red-and-white tilak on his forehead and smiling. Beside him, a white marble statue of a seated figure with raised hands stands on a stone plinth. Golden oil lamps on tall stands and garlands of yellow marigolds and red flowers hang on a carved grey stone wall behind. The statue is a statue, not a person. The man has distinctive saffron robes, rudraksha-style beads and ornate gold jewellery, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity, so he is described only by role as a devotee in ceremonial attire.2011-11-21November 15 20112011-11-15 +1 copiesA photograph of an outdoor gathering with a man in the foreground wearing an orange saffron shawl, a long rudraksha mala with large beads, and a yellow-orange tilak on his forehead; his long, dark, swept-back hair falls to his shoulders and he holds his palms together in anjali. Behind him, devotees in white dhotis with gold borders and a man in a teal checked shirt stand with hands folded in prayer. Blurred orange and red structures and greenery form the background. The appearance of the foreground man, with long hair, saffron shawl and rudraksha mala, is a person candidate.2011-10-07
