On the right, a man in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange head wrap wears a long rudraksha mala with a golden pendant, gesturing toward the deity with one arm extended.

October 14 20082008-10-14Outdoor procession scene in front of a white brick wall. A golden canopy palanquin, its frame draped with orange, red and white garlands, shelters a central figure seated in ceremonial white dress with a gold-and-orange turban, ornate jewelled necklaces, a green gem pendant and a long white garland. Two women in orange-saffron saris with maroon borders stand beside the figure, one offering a tray of oranges, the other reaching toward it. A woman in a red patterned sari is seen from behind at left. A silver kalasha-like vessel sits on a tray at lower right, and a white flag and tall tree appear behind the canopy. The figure's face is not discernible for appearance-based identification, so the a person value remains unsure with no printed name visible.2008-05-04Indoor room with pale green walls, a waterfall wall mural at left, white sheet-covered sofa, floral upholstered armchair at right, and barred window with striped curtains. A woman in orange robes at left drapes a rust-orange shawl over the shoulders of a shirtless man in white dhoti, who holds a book. At right, a bearded priest with tripundra vibhuti on his forehead, hair in a topknot, wears an orange and gold shawl over bare shoulders, a yellow dhoti, and a wristwatch, holding a yellow booklet. Three people are visible in the scene.2008-04-06April 06 20082008-04-06October 22 20082008-10-22Indoor photograph in a plain room with pale green walls, grey curtains and a barred window at right. A long-haired man in an orange saffron wrap stands centre-left, extending a silver tray of fruit, including oranges and apples, toward a man in a gold-bordered orange-and-maroon wrap. A third man in a yellow dhoti with a gold-bordered shawl bends forward to receive a book from the tray side. A shaven-headed man in orange robes stands at the left edge, and a patterned sofa is at right. Possible ritual offering of fruit and a book. The long-haired man wears saffron clothing and long swept-back hair, a cue consistent with a person, though the appearance is not certain.2008-04-06Three men stand side by side in an indoor room with pale green walls, a wall mural of a waterfall and forest on the left, a white-covered sofa and a brown patterned sofa on the right, and a bowl of fruit on a low table. The man in the centre wears a long orange-saffron robe with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi, with his hands clasped in front; the figure's appearance is a probable match to the a person cues in the page, with long hair, saffron clothing and a rudraksha-style necklace, and the image is not a clear identification. The man on the left wears a white dhoti with a gold-and-red patterned shawl, a dark rudraksha mala and a red sash, and holds a small booklet. The man on the right wears a gold-and-red shawl over yellow garments, multiple beaded and metal necklaces, a white forehead marking, and holds a booklet.2008-04-06Outdoor ritual at a white brick wall beside a golden canopied palanquin decorated with red and yellow marigold garlands and peacock feathers, carrying a deity murti in a purple and gold garment with a golden crown.
