A photograph of a temple deity inspection under a white cloth canopy outdoors. A young man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red tilak wears an orange saffron robe and stands at right, touching the metal surface of a large bronze deity murti with a carved, ornate crown. Beside him, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti, with a rudraksha mala, leans in and holds the murti. Another man in white clothing is partly visible at left, pressing on the bronze. Stacked red bricks, dirt ground and green trees are visible behind. Only the a person identity cue of long hair, saffron robe and tilak is present on the standing figure, so the appearance match is probable, but the face is not visible and identification is uncertain.

A white tarpaulin canopy overhead and a group of onlookers in shirts, vests and a red turban behind them suggest an outdoor temple-workshop inspection. Brick rubble lies at lower left. Two appearance cues (long hair and saffron wrap) with a shown-in-person role as the person inspecting the deities fit the page's candidate, so this is a probable match.2006-09-18A long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe stands among large brass or bronze temple sculptures under a white tarpaulin canopy.
