A man in an orange-saffron dhoti-style wrap walks barefoot-to-sandals past a half-built structure of grey concrete blocks under a thatched palm-leaf roof. He has long, swept-back dark hair and a bare upper body draped with the orange cloth, and wears brown sandals. The doorway frame is carved and decorated, opening onto an unfinished interior with stacked blocks. A low block wall and scattered blocks, bamboo poles and sand surround the dusty construction site under an overcast sky. The scene reflects ongoing ashram construction work.

A single person in an orange-saffron robe with dark shoulder-length hair stands at the centre-left, one hand raised near the chest, looking toward the side. Beside them stand a blue plastic drum and a grey cylindrical container, with a broom leaning on the ground and puddles on the floor. Light comes through a window opening at the far end.2006-09-19Photograph of a rural construction site with thatched-roof huts and partly built cinder-block walls under an overcast sky. A bare-chested man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron dhoti wrap and sandals, walks away from the camera across dirt ground past stacked grey concrete blocks and a heap of gravel. A partially visible man in white stands at the left edge. The scene is an ashram building area. Green shrubs and small trees surround the huts.2006-09-16A photograph taken from inside a dim, unfinished concrete-block room, looking out through a doorway opening onto a dirt yard. A single person in a loose orange saffron robe draped over the shoulders and wrapped around the body, with a tall thin cane in one hand, steps out of the doorway. Long dark curly hair falls past the shoulders and the feet wear simple sandals. Behind the figure stands a thatched palm-roof open shelter on wooden posts under bright daylight. Bamboo poles frame the left and right edges of the wall, and rough construction debris and cement blocks lie on the ground in the foreground.2006-09-21A photograph taken from inside an unfinished concrete-block building, looking through a doorway frame toward an outdoor construction yard. A figure in an orange saffron wrap with long dark curly hair walks through the doorway, holding a walking stick, barefoot on dirt ground with scattered concrete blocks. Behind him, another person in white clothing with an orange shawl walks in the yard, and a thatched-roof shelter stands beyond. The walls are grey cinder blocks with a dark interior. The figure's appearance (long swept hair, saffron wrap, walking stick) shows a shawl-clad, distinctive presentation consistent with a person candidate, so the identity is probable.2006-09-21September 19 20062006-09-19A photograph of a construction site with bare red-brown earth strewn with grey concrete blocks and a thatched-roof shelter behind a block wall.
