A photograph of a long-haired young man in a saffron-orange dhoti-style wrap and plain orange shawl standing at left, gesturing with his right hand toward a large bronze deity murti with a tall ornate crown, a trident-like staff, multiple arms and heavy bronze necklaces, beside a second bronze image with a conical crown. A white tarpaulin canopy overhead and a group of onlookers in shirts, vests and a red turban behind them suggest an outdoor temple-workshop inspection. Brick rubble lies at lower left. Two appearance cues (long hair and saffron wrap) with a shown-in-person role as the person inspecting the deities fit the page's candidate, so this is a probable match.

September 18 20062006-09-18September 18 20062006-09-18A long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe stands among large brass or bronze temple sculptures under a white tarpaulin canopy. He is looking down at the metal figures, with one hand resting near a gilded piece. In the foreground are the heads of two large gilded deity figures with tall ornate crowns, carved detailing and decorated necks. Several onlookers, including children and a man in a red head cloth, stand behind him beside a rough outdoor work area with bricks and timber. Palm trees and a thatched shelter are visible in the background. Appears to be a site inspection of temple sculptures; possibly a person (long hair, saffron robe) present in person.2006-09-18September 18 20062006-09-18September 18 20062006-09-18A photograph of a temple workshop under a white tarpaulin, where a long-haired young man in saffron-orange robes stands beside a large bronze deity murti of a goddess with an elaborate headdress and ornate collar, the metal polished gold-brown. In the foreground, an older man in white clothes with a rudraksha mala and a bindi, and another man with his hand pressed against the bronze figure's cylindrical pedestal or base. Behind them, a man in a pink head cloth and striped shirt stands near a stack of red bricks and a wet mortar bed. The orange-robed man appears to be a person by appearance, with long hair and saffron clothing, but his identity is uncertain. The setting shows a temple inspection of metal deity figures.2006-09-18September 18 20062006-09-18A photograph of two large bronze-coloured deity murti seated side by side under a white tarpaulin, a crowned male figure with raised hand and a crowned female figure beside him. Around them stand about six men and boys. The man second from right wears a long-sleeved white-and-grey striped shirt; to his right a man in orange robes with long swept-back dark hair stands bare-shouldered with an orange wrap, appearing to be a sannyasi in saffron clothing, and the appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, though the face is not visible enough to confirm. A man in white dhoti and shirt gestures at right. Thatched and tiled structures and greenery appear behind.2006-09-18 +2 copiesSeptember 18 20062006-09-18A bronze-toned seated deity murti of Shiva and Parvati, with a tall crown on the male figure and an ornate headdress on the female figure, is being inspected outdoors under a white tarpaulin. A man in a saffron-orange robe with long, dark, swept-back hair stands at the left, one hand resting on the statue's arm, while a second man in a light shirt and a checked lungi stands behind. Another worker is visible at the far right near a brick structure, and bare earth, bricks and trees fill the background.2006-09-18A long-haired man in an orange saffron wrap stands under a white tarpaulin at an outdoor work site, reaching out to touch the hand of a large bronze-coloured deity murti with multiple arms and an ornate crown. A second man in a white shirt and dark trousers stands behind, raising an arm beside a pile of sand and construction material. The murti wears a tall crown, ornate jewellery and armlets. The man in orange has distinctive long, swept-back hair and saffron clothing, a compatible presentation, but the face is not clearly visible and identity is uncertain.2006-09-18September 18 20062006-09-18
