A central figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe stands barefoot on red-and-white steps, with a white tilak on his forehead, smiling and gesturing with one hand; his orange sandals rest on the step below. Around him stand devotees in orange and white clothing, one holding a small white object, and a man in white kurta with an orange shawl bowing at right. Printed copyright text is visible at the lower left edge.

He wears a sleeveless orange saffron wrap draped over his body and holds a fold of it at his side, eyes lowered. Behind him, a man in white dhoti and kurta with a red-orange shawl holds a small book. At left, a figure in orange robes stands on a raised platform with a yellow and red border, and a palm frond and garland hang at the top. Green palms and foliage fill the background. The wearer's appearance, with long swept hair, saffron wrap and tilak, is consistent with a person, though his identity is uncertain.2010-02-04A photograph of two men walking on a striped red-and-white stage edge beneath a canopy decorated with banana leaves, hanging mango leaves and orange marigold flowers. The man in front wears a red-orange dhoti and shawl, a gold ceremonial necklace, a rudraksha mala and a white forehead marking, and holds his hands loosely at his sides. Beside him a younger man in an orange-saffron robe and shawl holds a small object and walks barefoot. Behind them a standing attendant in white and a woman in a pink top with a yellow necklace watch, and a woman at the right edge holds her hands together in namaste. Marigold garlands hang along the railing and a dark statue of an elephant-headed deity stands at the left edge. Several people are visible in the background.2009-06-15Photograph of a crowd of devotees on white and red striped temple steps. A central figure in orange ochre robes wears a long white and red flower garland, a gold pendant necklace, a red headband and sandals; his long hair falls past his shoulders. Around him, men in white kurtas and white dhotis, several with orange shawls and red headbands, stand and crouch; one man in white bends low at the lower left. Behind them stand more men in white shirts and dhotis, some with rudraksha malas, beneath hanging green leaves and a golden trident.2007-12-25A photograph at a doorway of a cream-coloured building with panelled doors. A bald man in saffron robes with a matching orange head covering and a gold bead necklace walks barefoot, his hand raised to his face, while a man in white dhoti and shirt guides him. Behind them a long-haired man in orange robes smiles and a man in a white shirt and dhoti with a rudraksha mala walks at right. Several other men in white and grey shirts stand in the dark interior behind. Two red-and-white items are visible at the left edge. The saffron-clad bald man is an appearance-based candidate for a person, but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm.2009-12-20A photograph of an outdoor courtyard entrance with a pink and white decorated facade and a lattice-screened wall behind.
