A photograph taken in a decorated tent stage with haze in the air. A man wearing an orange and red turban, a long gold-embroidered cream and pink robe with a golden shawl, and red forehead marking stands at centre, holding a small ornate object near a garlanded deity murti. Behind him a cameraman in an orange outfit films with a video camera. To the right stands a tall brass lamp (oil lamp) with a lit flame, beside a yellow and white floral rangoli-style backdrop and an arrangement of orange, pink and yellow flowers. Marigold garlands drape the table and stage.

A smiling man in a multicolour orange-and-yellow turban and an ornate pale-green and pink embroidered sherwani with a sheer orange dupatta stands in a decorated tent. He holds his hands together near his waist in front of a brass oil lamp on a stand, with a garlanded decorated table, marigold and gerbera flower arrangements, and a large yellow-and-white rangoli-style backdrop bearing a dove emblem. Long dark hair falls past his shoulders. Behind him a sheet-covered table holds a decorated cake. Appearance-based candidate: a person, shown with a multicolour turban, long hair and ornate festive dress, standing near the lamp and flower-decorated altar.2009-01-01January 01 20092009-01-01January 01 20092009-01-01Photograph inside a decorated pavilion showing a standing figure in a cream embroidered sherwani with long dark hair, wearing a multicoloured turban with pink and yellow tones and a sheer orange shawl draped over one shoulder. The figure rests one hand on the rim of a tall brass oil lamp (deepam) with a lit flame, set on a red-carpeted stage amid orange, yellow and pink flower arrangements and green palm leaves. Behind is a yellow and black wall panel with a bird-like motif edged in red and gold, and draped pink curtains. Visible physical people: the one standing figure; a partial arm of another person appears at the left edge holding a flower-laden tray. The figure appears to be a person: long hair, a turban and an orange shawl, with the lamp offering as the action.2009-01-01A photograph taken in a heavily tinted green-blue light of a seated figure in a large layered pastel turban and an ornate gold brocade robe with jewelled embroidery, a beaded necklace at the chest and bangles on the wrist. Behind him stand marigold garlands hung along a draped curtain. A partly visible person with a camera on a stand is at the top of the frame, and a white electric fan is at the right edge. The figure's turban, swept-back hair and rich jewelled attire are distinctive, and the page places this at the Jayanti celebration, so this matches a person appearance in person.2009-01-01January 01 20092009-01-01A smiling man in a pale green embroidered silk sherwani with a long matching dupatta stands before a richly decorated backdrop of yellow flower-petal rangoli with red and white arches and green motifs. He wears a multicoloured turban and holds a lit brass oil lamp in one raised hand, while his other arm is extended outward. Behind him, a table is laden with orange and red flower arrangements, palm fronds and garlands, and a golden deity murti is partly visible at the right edge. Whether this man is a person cannot be determined from appearance alone, so this is described by role as a devotee performing an aarti with an oil lamp.2009-01-01A photograph of a standing person in a decorated hall before a flower-and-rangoli backdrop. The person wears a pink and orange turban, a pale gold embroidered long coat over a gold sari-like garment, and a matching pale shawl. They stand on a red carpet beside a lit brass oil lamp on a stand, a blue draped table with a silver-foil covered tray, and a gold ornate throne-like seat decorated with marigold garlands. A white dove motif appears in a dark roundel on the left wall.
