Outdoor photo of a bare-chested man in a rust-orange wrap and saffron-orange dhoti standing barefoot on a raised white-railed walkway over a shallow water tank. He wears a white flower garland and a white headband, and holds his hands together at his waist. Beside him on the right, a woman in a cream sari with a red blouse holds a red cloth or offering. Behind them rises a red tiered stone stepped structure lined with many small black Shivalinga-style shrines and carved figures, with a green tree in the middle. Orange ceremonial flags flutter on poles. Two people are visible, the man in orange and the woman in cream, with a partial figure at the left edge. Appearance cues include a bare chest, rudraksha-free orange clothing and garland, which are compatible with the page's reference, but the face is not used for identification, so the candidate is uncertain.

July 17 20172017-07-17 +1 copiesA barefoot man with long dark hair stands on a striped mat at the edge of a water pool, facing right. He wears a rust-orange draped garment, a white forehead marking, and a long garland of white and pink flowers around his neck. Behind him, tiers of red-painted steps are lined with rows of black stone Shivalinga-style shrines, with orange flags on poles beside them. A white metal railing borders the platform. Appearance-based candidate for a person: the long hair, saffron-orange garment and flower garland are present, so this is an in_person candidate, though identity is uncertain from appearance alone.2017-07-17 +1 copiesJuly 17 20172017-07-17 +1 copiesA man with long swept-back dark hair and a white forehead mark walks sideways across a stage in front of tiered red steps lined with dark stone shivalingam-style pedestals. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti and sleeveless wrap with gold border, a gold chain, and a gold-clasped waist belt. A white metal railing runs across the frame. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron ornate clothing and gold necklace cues match the presentation, so the person is a probable in-person candidate.2017-07-24Outdoor photo of a red-stone stepped terrace lined with rows of black Shivalinga stone sculptures. A tall man with long dark hair and a crown-like headdress wears a rust-red dhoti and a thick gold-and-beaded necklace, walking down the steps barefoot. Behind him, a young man in an orange robe and rudraksha mala walks with others in saffron and orange robes. Two women in white saris sit on the steps, and women in orange and red saris stand higher up near a gold deity murti on a red-draped pedestal. Red flags and a loudspeaker are visible, and a striped mat lies on the steps.2017-07-24May 22 20172017-05-22Photograph of a group of men in white dhotis with yellow borders standing and sitting on the red stone steps of a tiered ghat-like structure lined with rows of black stone shivalinga and nandi-style sculptures. Several men are bare-chested with rudraksha malas; some stand with hands folded in prayer, while others sit on the lower steps. A few men wear white shirts or kurtas. Red and orange flags are fixed along the white railing, and a pool of water lies at the bottom with scattered petals on the steps. Greenery grows behind the structure.2017-08-14A procession walks along a stone-paved temple water-tank edge beside a row of dark black stone shivalinga pillars on the left. In the centre, a man in a dark maroon-red robe with a rudraksha mala and wrist beads walks barefoot, his hands pressed together, with a white forehead mark. Beside him, a man in an orange-red cloth carries a tray with a green garland and flowers. Behind them, a man with a bare chest and red cloth and a long-haired man with white ritual wrap follow, with a drummer in white and orange cloths. Women in white saris with gold borders and some in yellow stand at the left and right edges, hands pressed together in greeting. Many white-clad devotees sit on red-tiered steps in the background. Still green water fills the tank at the right edge.2017-05-22 +1 copiesA photo of a stone-paved ritual area beside a water tank, lined with rows of black Shivalingams on round black bases. Two women in white saris sit at left, one bending over a brass vessel and pouring water over a lingam. A tall man in a rust-red wrap and white forehead markings walks barefoot down the central striped runner, flanked by an attendant in orange cloth. Another orange-clad man stands near the pool edge. Brass pots and bowls are set along the steps, and red-and-white tiered steps rise in the background. Appearance-based label: a person is the tall man in the rust-red wrap with long hair and forehead tilak, walking in procession along the abhishekam area.2017-07-24A photograph of a man in a rust-orange wrap and an orange turban walking barefoot along a raised walkway past rows of black linga shrines on red brick steps. He wears a white and pink flower garland, gold armlets, and has long dark hair down his back. Red and orange flags stand along the white railing, and a blue crate sits on the steps at left. The appearance matches the page's appearance-based cues of long hair, turban, saffron clothing and garland, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) figure walking in a procession-like setting, with another orange-clad figure partly visible at far left.2017-06-19August 14 20172017-08-14Outdoor photograph of a stepped red-stone amphitheatre lined with rows of black stone shivalinga-style pedestals and black stone sculptures on the left, with red and orange flags on white railings. A man in a rust-orange dhoti and shawl, with long dark hair and a beaded mala, walks barefoot down white steps toward a water tank, followed by several people: a man in white kurta and white dhoti, a man in a turquoise shirt, a man in grey shirt and jeans, a woman in a patterned top and black leggings, and a woman in a white sari holding folded hands near the bottom right. A figure in yellow stands at the far right edge. Ritual steps leading to water suggest a temple tank setting.2017-03-26
