A photograph taken inside a plain whitewashed room with barred windows, a red refrigerator on the left and a stainless steel side table with a steel vessel and a water jug on the right. A man in white dhoti and shirt with a red-orange shawl draped over his shoulders stands in a doorway at left. Beside him a woman in a white sari with a yellow border and a yellow shawl, hair tied back, stands facing a small framed wall plaque. A small round purple-and-white logo appears in the top left corner and a copyright line runs along the lower right. No clear identification of a candidate can be made from appearance, so the figure is described by role only.

December 29 20102010-12-29July 08 20092009-07-08A plain, whitewashed kitchen with a red-tiled floor. On a white-draped table against the back wall sits a framed portrait of a smiling man wearing a white turban and white clothing, garlanded with marigold flowers and a red garland, with an umbrella placed beside it. Above the table hang a small framed image and a round emblem. On the right, a man in white dhoti and orange shawl and a woman in white sari with orange border stand at a counter with steel vessels, a gas cylinder, stacked plastic crates and baskets. A calendar-style picture of a seated sadhu hangs on the wall.2007-08-09A photograph taken indoors through a doorway with red-painted metal grill doors open to trees outside. A man with long, dark, swept-back hair and a dark-red bindi, wearing an orange-saffron unstitched robe and multiple rudraksha malas, walks forward with bare feet, looking to his left. A second man in an orange-saffron cloth and matching orange head wrap walks behind him, also barefoot and wearing rudraksha beads. The room has white walls, a red-tiled floor, a light blue refrigerator, a green folding chair with folded cloth on it, a red-framed window with bars, and a wall-mounted electrical box with a poster. The cues for the front figure are long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha malas, which are consistent with the Swamiji (probable) label.2007-08-09A photograph of a bare, whitewashed room with a teal door and a barred window. A young man in a saffron-orange robe and matching orange turban sits cross-legged on a red floral-cushioned iron cot, one bare foot raised, smiling and resting his head on his hand; a blue cloth lies on his lap. Beside him a steel tumbler sits on the floor. A bearded man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands at the right near a green-and-red striped cot, with a black bag beside it.2003-01-01A photograph of a whitewashed hall with a red-tiled floor and red-framed windows, where a group of people in white and saffron clothing move about. In the foreground, two men in orange saffron robes walk across the room; the figure on the left wears a long rudraksha mala and bare shoulders, while the one beside him wears an orange robe draped over his shoulder. Behind them, people in white dhotis and saris, some carrying steel plates, stand near a stainless steel table holding large pots and bowls, and plastic chairs line the room.2009-07-08Interior photograph of a small whitewashed room with a green-framed window on the left and a green door standing open on the right. A red-and-brown patterned bed with a green metal frame sits at the lower left, beside a red plastic stool holding two water bottles. A standing electric fan is at the lower right. A man with dark hair and a red-and-gold-bordered dhoti or wrap, with a rudraksha mala and red arm bands, smiles while standing at the doorway. Facing him is an older man with glasses and a watch, wearing an orange saffron robe, standing in conversation. A distinctive appearance-based candidate is the man in the red-and-gold wrap with the long hair and rudraksha mala; the printed page supports the presence of a person, but the appearance cues are not conclusive enough to confirm identity.2014-07-03A photograph inside a large, plain industrial-style kitchen with a corrugated metal roof, white walls, and red-brown floor. Several people in saffron-orange robes stand in a group on the left-centre, while a single man in orange robes stands alone near steel counters and a blue plastic chair. On the left, people in white clothes with yellow shawls stand near white refrigerators. Steel cooking pots and a stainless-steel prep table occupy the room, and small framed pictures hang on the back wall. Ceiling fans and fluorescent lights are visible.2009-11-16July 08 20092009-07-08A photograph of an interior room with white walls and a dark red-brown floor. On the left, stainless steel pots, pans and containers are stacked on open metal shelving. A figure in a saffron-orange robe stands in the centre facing a doorway, with long dark hair and bare feet; a second man in white clothes and an orange shawl stands beside the door. Orange drapes hang over the doorway and a framed portrait hangs on the far wall beside a dark cabinet and a table with an orange cloth. A round wall clock is visible above the shelves.2007-12-07August 18 20062006-08-18Inside a bare white-walled room with a tiled floor and a barred window, a man in saffron dhoti and orange head cloth with a long beard and a white-and-red flower garland stands barefoot with palms raised in blessing, facing a seated or kneeling figure. A white-clad man with his back to the camera and a gold necklace watches. A woman in a white sari with a bowed head holds a basket of fruit and folds her hands in prayer beside a brass oil lamp, a plate of fruit and flower petals on the floor. An attendant in orange holds a tray of flowers at the left edge. The scene reads as a blessing or puja performed during the inauguration of a new room.2008-07-28
