Interior photograph of a temple or hall showing a row of white statues on a raised wooden beam structure against a blue wall with a green band. The white figures wear red floral garlands and red beaded necklaces, with some showing dark hair and an upraised hand gesture. Rough wooden poles and logs frame the scene, with exposed wiring and fluorescent lights overhead. The statues are sculpted figures rather than living people.2007-12-12December 12 20072007-12-12July 07 20092009-07-07December 12 20072007-12-12December 12 20072007-12-12A stage tableau at an outdoor tented event, with a central seated figure in saffron-orange robes, a red-and-orange turban, a rudraksha mala and bangles, holding a mala in one hand and a prayer gesture in the other. Four smaller sculpted or painted figures in orange garments with folded hands sit around him, arranged amid green leafy branches and rock-like grey platforms. The figures appear to be life-size painted statues or effigies rather than living people, and the central figure is depicted rather than physically present.2009-07-07July 07 20092009-07-07July 07 20092009-07-07A photograph of a staged tableau under a white tent canopy with green leaves overhead. A large seated figure in the centre is a painted statue with a red turban, orange-saffron robe, rudraksha beads and a red-and-gold garland, holding a rudraksha mala and a short staff-like object. Four smaller painted statues of bearded seated figures in orange robes sit around the base in anjali mudra, hands folded in greeting, on a rocky mock-up platform. The statues are figures in a display, not physical people, and the tableau is a decorative set for a Gurupoornima celebration.2009-07-07A photograph of a temple exterior wall with a row of painted plaster deity figures set in niches against a bright blue backdrop. Several colourful figures are visible: a multi-armed goddess in red and gold on a lion, a figure in green and white riding a white bull holding a trident, a standing female figure in yellow, and a multi-armed goddess in red seated on a mount, with a fierce face at the right. Below, a large painted deity murti with a garland and gold necklace is partly visible behind scaffolding and bamboo poles. No physical people are present in the scene.2007-12-12August 09 20102010-08-09Two painted sculptures of seated sannyasi figures sit side by side on a ledge in front of green leaves. Both have long dark hair piled up, orange-yellow skin tone, white and red tilak markings on the forehead, and white stripe markings on the arms. They wear rudraksha malas around the neck and wrists and have orange-saffron dhoti cloth draped over their legs. Both hold their hands in anjali mudra, palms pressed together at the chest. The figures are statues, not living people, and no identifiable a person is pictured, so the a person field is none.2009-07-07
