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 23 20062006-09-23A photograph under a white tarpaulin tent outdoors, with trees behind. A man with long, swept-back dark hair and an orange saffron dhoti and shawl stands barefoot at left, his hand resting on a large bronze sculpture. Seated before him is a bronze pair of deity murtis: a male deity with a tall crown and crescent ornament, and a female deity with a tiered crown and jewelled necklaces. The bronze figures are unfinished and dull in places, sitting on a wooden platform amid construction debris. Another person in pink headwear is partly visible at the right edge. The tarpaulin bears a purple logo and a faded printed image.2006-09-18A smiling man with long dark swept-back hair, wearing an orange saffron garment over his shoulders and a forehead marking, stands beside a large gilded deity murti in the foreground. A gilded ceremonial vessel and a red cloth are visible near the murti, and two other men in white shirts stand nearby in a dark setting. The man in orange has distinctive long hair and saffron clothing, matching Swamiji (probable), and appears in person beside the golden murti.2006-09-23A photograph inside a temple shrine. On the left, a man with long dark hair and an orange-saffron shawl draped over his shoulder stands in profile, looking toward two golden metal deity murti. The left murti wears a tall golden crown-like headdress with a white and gold cloth wrap and a golden necklace; the right murti wears an ornate golden crown and a red garment. Behind them are a red curtain, gilded carved wooden panels and a ceiling light. A partially visible hand at the right edge touches the red cloth of the right murti. The man's appearance (long swept-back hair and saffron shawl) is consistent with the page's description of a person, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone, so he is described as a person in orange, with the in-person candidate marked unsure.2006-09-23
