Photograph inside a narrow, dimly lit corridor of an old palace with a tiled floor and a row of large painted murals on the left wall showing elephants, a royal figure seated in an arcade, a court scene, a lake with bathing figures and a tree against mountains. Six men stand before the paintings, several bare-chested and wearing white dhotis, one in a long orange robe with a yellow-beaded necklace on the far right, and one older man with white hair in the middle. Their attention is on the murals, and a small arched niche with a flower offering sits in the right wall. a person candidate: the orange-robed man with a beaded necklace has no distinctive long hair, crown or ornate ceremonial cues, so identity is uncertain.

A photograph of a corridor inside a palace, with a long wall covered in painted panels showing scenes of royal life, an elephant, figures in courtly settings, and a riverside scene with people bathing beneath trees. Four men walk along the tiled floor, the three on the left shirtless with white dhotis and sacred threads, one older man in white dhoti, and at the right a smiling man in a saffron-orange robe with a long orange-and-gold bead necklace and long dark hair, walking with hands folded. A window niche with a yellow flower stands on the right.2006-11-10A photograph taken in a narrow tiled corridor of a palace with a dark wooden ceiling and painted murals along the left wall showing an elephant, figures in a colonnaded courtyard, people bathing in a pool and a tree. Four men walk in a line toward the right. The front man on the right wears an orange saffron robe, a long gold necklace and has long dark hair, smiling as he looks ahead; he is a person in orange robes, and the appearance-based cues are long hair, saffron clothing and a gold necklace, so he is a person candidate. Beside and behind him, the other three men are bare-chested with white dhoti-style cloths and walk barefoot; one has a moustache and a mostly bald head, one is white-haired, and one is partly hidden behind them in white. A small wall niche with an oil lamp is visible on the right.2006-11-10A photograph of a long, narrow corridor with arched openings on the left and a wall of painted panels on the right depicting palace scenes, processions and figures in orange and yellow. A hanging lantern is visible overhead and the floor is tiled. Three men walk toward the camera: a man in white dhoti and shirt holding a long wooden staff, a central man in a saffron/orange robe with a long ceremonial gold necklace and long dark hair, and a bare-chested man in a white dhoti with a pink border. A small wooden stool with a red item sits against the wall. The central figure wears a saffron robe and a gold necklace with long hair, a combination of cues, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate walking in the palace corridor.2006-11-10November 10 20062006-11-10November 10 20062006-11-10November 09 20062006-11-09November 09 20062006-11-09A man in a flowing saffron-orange robe and a thick gold necklace stands at right, long dark hair swept back, pointing up toward a wall of large painted panels. Beside him a bare-chested man in a white dhoti and a white sacred thread looks on. At far right a partly visible man in white gestures toward the paintings. The mural panels depict Hindu epic scenes: a figure with a golden crown and blue skin embraced by a forest-dwelling pair in a cave, a bow-wielding blue-skinned hero with a winged attendant beside a palace, and a group of figures in saffron dhotis before a thatched hut. Warm orange drapery and pillars frame the left edge.2006-11-10November 09 20062006-11-09November 10 20062006-11-10July 29 20082008-07-29A photograph of a long, narrow corridor in an old palace with a wooden-beamed ceiling and a tiled floor.

Arched niches are set into the left wall. A small round light fixture hangs from the ceiling. Three people are visible.2006-11-10
