A procession moves through a narrow lane in Varanasi lined with weathered buildings, shop awnings and hanging signs. A man in ochre-red robes with a long orange-yellow garland and a rudraksha mala, his body painted with yellow markings, walks forward and carries a trident-like staff. Devotees in white kurtas and red shawls follow and line the lane, several with palms pressed together in namaste. Seated women on the left in red and white sit along the wall, and a child is visible among them.

Several people walk toward the camera. In the centre, a man in ochre-saffron robes with a long rudraksha mala and a gold pendant walks beside a shaved-headed man in orange-red robes and a bead mala. Behind them, men in white kurtas and a woman in a patterned sari walk along the lane. A man in a beige shirt and checked lungi stands at left near a pillar, and posters are pasted on the walls at right.2015-05-04A photograph of a narrow city street with shuttered shops, signboards, parked motorbikes and pedestrians. Four prominent people walk toward the camera. In the centre, a man with long dark hair wears an orange dhoti, an orange-and-brown leopard-print shawl and a long rudraksha mala, with a tilak on his forehead, and he has an appearance-based cue consistent with the page's a person label, but the cues are insufficient for a confident identification. To his left, a man in white kurta and dhoti with a tilak and an orange-red shawl walks beside him. To the right, a bald man in white with an orange-red shawl and a crossbody strap. Behind them, a woman in white sari with an orange-red shawl and a man in white walk along. A pedestrian on the far left wears a white shirt and dhoti.July 10 20162016-07-10May 19 20142014-05-19February 13 20132013-02-13A photograph in a narrow alley lined with peeling walls and a blue tarp overhead, showing a procession moving toward a small shrine with a framed deity picture and hanging ornaments. At the centre, a man with a swept-back hairstyle wears a rust-red robe, a leopard-print waist cloth, a long black and gold bead necklace and a dark rudraksha mala, holding a trident and making a raised hand gesture. A shaved-headed man in a saffron-orange robe with an orange mala and a yellow head band walks in front of him. Around them, women in orange, yellow and red saris and a man in white kurta stand close, some with palms pressed together in greeting. The face-level cues are clear enough to count as an appearance-based candidate, so the central figure is labelled a person and placed in person.2014-05-19June 23 20132013-06-23 +1 copiesJune 23 20132013-06-23July 10 20162016-07-10February 13 20132013-02-13
