A man with long swept-back dark hair and a beard, wearing white kurta and dhoti with a red border, an orange shawl draped over his shoulders and rudraksha beads at his neck, holds a folded white cloth.

A photograph taken at a doorway of a plain concrete building with a grey metal door and red ribbons tied at the top. A man with long dark hair, a grey beard and a red forehead mark wears a white dhoti and white shirt with a saffron-orange shawl draped over his shoulders and a rudraksha mala around his neck; he holds a white cloth-covered tray with a metal object on it and smiles. Behind him stand several men in white shirts and dhotis, one in a white turban with red stripes and an orange cloth, while a man in a white shirt and black trousers stands at right near the door. Trees and foliage are visible outside. The man in the saffron shawl and mala has an appearance consistent with the page's reference to a person, but the identification is uncertain from appearance alone.2007-05-04A photograph of a doorway at a building entrance with a blue-green frame and a red ribbon tied across it.

Behind them a group of people in white and orange stands watching, including a woman in white with glasses and a woman in an orange shawl. Mango trees and a stone wall surround the entrance.

Around them, many men in white shirts and dhotis, plus men in checked and collared shirts, press close. Two young men in white with orange shawls stand in the foreground, and a cardboard box sits near the bottom edge. Metal rolling shutter doors frame the entrance. The bare-chested figure with orange cloth and long hair matches the page's described cues for a person, though this is an appearance-based label only, and the presenter is positioned as the one handing over the book, which fits the page's account of the book presentation to a temple official.2007-01-12
