A photograph taken through a glass door of a temple interior with motion blur. In the foreground a smiling man in a saffron-orange robe wears a crown-like gold headband, a long multi-strand gold and rudraksha mala, a tilak mark, and a wide smile, gesturing with one hand. To the left an elderly man with a shaved head wears a white and gold headband, a white floral garland, a rudraksha mala, gold chains and rings. Several other men in orange and white dhoti-style clothing stand behind them. Overhead lights and carved wooden panelling are visible.

April 29 20122012-04-29Indoor photograph in a marble-walled corridor where a smiling man in orange-saffron robes, a gold ornate necklace, a gold-and-red floral headband and a flower garland stands beside an older bald-headed priest with white and red forehead markings, also in a flower garland and red-gold headband. Another man in white dhoti and shawl, with a red tilak, places his palms together in greeting at lower left. Several attendants in white dhotis stand behind. One saffron-robed figure wears a gold necklace and bangles, and the older priest wears a rudraksha mala; their appearance is not sufficient to confirm an identity, so the candidate is marked unsure. Garlands of white flowers and orange blossoms hang on both figures, and a light fixture hangs in the background.2012-04-29Three smiling men stand in a doorway of a light-coloured interior with wooden panelling. The central figure wears white and red ash markings on the forehead, a bare upper body with a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant, and a wide-tied saffron dhoti, with a flower garland and a gold crown-like headband. Beside him, a man in a saffron-and-red cloth wears a long gold necklace, a rudraksha mala, a gold headband and a white flower garland. A man in white with a dark rudraksha-style mala crouches at the lower left with hands pressed together. Behind them, a man raises one arm and other attendants in white and saffron stand close by. Appearance-based cues suggest a person in the central figure with the crown and ornate gold necklaces, though this is uncertain.2012-04-29June 04 20122012-06-04 +1 copiesMay 16 20122012-05-16 +1 copiesPhoto of a procession inside a dim temple corridor. At centre, a smiling man in a rust-orange dhoti-style robe wears a gold crown-like headband, a red bindi and a thick gold-bead necklace, with a multi-strand garland of white jasmine, marigolds and green leaves. Beside him, an elderly bald man in orange robes wears a gold headband, white vibhuti stripes, a gold ornamental necklace and a similar garland. Behind them, men in white shirts and dhotis, one with a rudraksha-style mala, walk among devotees. Two people in orange robes stand at the left edge, and several others are visible in the background. Hence the people count, with the centre figure presented in the garland procession.2012-04-29 +2 copiesApril 29 20122012-04-29April 29 20122012-04-29May 16 20122012-05-16 +1 copiesJune 05 20122012-06-05Four men stand together in a dim temple doorway, all in orange-saffron robes. On the right, a smiling man with long dark hair, a gold crown-band, red and white flower garlands and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace raises one hand in greeting; the person on the far right looks like Swamiji (probable), based on the long hair, crown, saffron clothing and ornate gold necklace. Beside him, an older man with a white-painted forehead, a red-and-white garland and dark rudraksha beads smiles. A bald man in orange with a gold chain and red forehead mark stands behind them, and a partly visible person is at the edge. The page lists the setting as a Kanchanoor temple visit, but nothing visible establishes that place.2012-05-16Interior of a temple doorway with dark stone walls and painted pillars. A smiling man in the centre wears an orange-saffron robe, a long gold-beaded necklace, a white and red flower garland and a gold headband, and raises his hands in greeting. Beside him an elderly woman in saffron cloth wears a white and red garland, rudraksha mala and gold pendant. Behind them men in saffron robes and gold chains stand near the doorway, and a bare-chested priest on the left wears rudraksha malas and a white dhoti. The appearance of the central figure with distinctive ceremonial gold necklace, garland and headband is consistent with a person, though the identification is uncertain.2012-05-16 +1 copies
