A photo of a single person standing in profile at night, hands pressed together in namaskar in front of a stone temple wall carved with ornate scrollwork and a lion relief. The person wears a red dhoti-style garment with broad gold-coloured borders, a gold necklace and a gold-and-flower garland, and stands barefoot on a small red mat. To the left, a tall brass oil lamp with a flame sits on a stone ledge, and a red cloth hangs on the right. Appearance is not clear enough to establish the person's identity, so the role is given as a devotee performing prayer.

September 05 20172017-09-05Night photograph of a temple shrine. A man with long dark hair and a white flower garland with gold bead strands stands in profile, wearing a rust-red dhoti with an orange-gold waistband and bare upper body, both palms resting on a carved stone ledge as he looks upward toward a stone lion-faced carving. A tall brass oil lamp stands at left beside a small painted deity figure and red and green decorations. A red and pink cloth hangs behind him and other people in saffron clothing are faintly visible in the background. Pada puja appears to be taking place at the shrine. The man's appearance does not clearly establish an identity, so he is described by role as a devotee at the shrine.2014-08-05Outdoor photo of a person in profile with palms pressed together in anjali mudra, eyes closed in prayer.

He wears a rust-red turban with a gold ornament and a feather, a rust-red wrap and dhoti, a gold waist chain, gold bangles, and a garland of white jasmine and pink flowers. Long dark dreadlocks fall down his back. Behind him hang pink and orange draped cloths and a carved stone pillar with relief sculpture. He stands on a leopard-print cushion over a striped mat. The setting resembles a temple shrine, and the man is a devotee-style figure performing worship; the appearance cues are a long-haired man in saffron-red robes with a turban and rudraksha-style adornments, though this is not a confident match.2017-09-05January 20 20132013-01-20A photograph of a woman in an orange-and-gold sari and a long gold necklace bowing deeply, pressing her forehead to the grey carved stone ledge of a shrine.
