A long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe stands among large brass or bronze temple sculptures under a white tarpaulin canopy. He is looking down at the metal figures, with one hand resting near a gilded piece. In the foreground are the heads of two large gilded deity figures with tall ornate crowns, carved detailing and decorated necks. Several onlookers, including children and a man in a red head cloth, stand behind him beside a rough outdoor work area with bricks and timber. Palm trees and a thatched shelter are visible in the background. Appears to be a site inspection of temple sculptures; possibly a person (long hair, saffron robe) present in person.

September 18 20062006-09-18September 18 20062006-09-18A photograph of two large bronze-coloured deity murti seated side by side under a white tarpaulin, a crowned male figure with raised hand and a crowned female figure beside him. Around them stand about six men and boys. The man second from right wears a long-sleeved white-and-grey striped shirt; to his right a man in orange robes with long swept-back dark hair stands bare-shouldered with an orange wrap, appearing to be a sannyasi in saffron clothing, and the appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, though the face is not visible enough to confirm. A man in white dhoti and shirt gestures at right. Thatched and tiled structures and greenery appear behind.2006-09-18 +2 copiesSeptember 18 20062006-09-18September 18 20062006-09-18A photograph of a long-haired young man in a saffron-orange dhoti-style wrap and plain orange shawl standing at left, gesturing with his right hand toward a large bronze deity murti with a tall ornate crown, a trident-like staff, multiple arms and heavy bronze necklaces, beside a second bronze image with a conical crown. A white tarpaulin canopy overhead and a group of onlookers in shirts, vests and a red turban behind them suggest an outdoor temple-workshop inspection. Brick rubble lies at lower left. Two appearance cues (long hair and saffron wrap) with a shown-in-person role as the person inspecting the deities fit the page's candidate, so this is a probable match.2006-09-18Photograph of two large bronze deity murtis, a male and a female figure with tall crowns and heavy necklaces, standing under a white tarpaulin outdoors among trees. A man with long swept-back hair wearing a saffron-orange shawl over his bare upper body stands at right, looking toward the statues. Several men in shirts and lungis stand behind them, one examining the figures. Probable Swamiji (probable) appears in this scene: the long swept-back hair and saffron-orange wrap are the cues. He is inspecting the presiding deities during their final inspection before installation.2006-09-18September 18 20062006-09-18September 18 20062006-09-18September 18 20062006-09-18A photograph of a temple workshop under a white tarpaulin, where a long-haired young man in saffron-orange robes stands beside a large bronze deity murti of a goddess with an elaborate headdress and ornate collar, the metal polished gold-brown. In the foreground, an older man in white clothes with a rudraksha mala and a bindi, and another man with his hand pressed against the bronze figure's cylindrical pedestal or base. Behind them, a man in a pink head cloth and striped shirt stands near a stack of red bricks and a wet mortar bed. The orange-robed man appears to be a person by appearance, with long hair and saffron clothing, but his identity is uncertain. The setting shows a temple inspection of metal deity figures.2006-09-18A photograph of two large golden-bronze seated deity murti under a white tarpaulin canopy outdoors, with a man in an orange saffron robe with long dark hair standing at right beside them, and several men in casual shirts and lungis gathered behind. The left murti wears a tall crown and necklaces; the right is adorned with layered jewellery and bangles. The man in orange appears to be a person, identified by long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, shown inspecting the deities as the page describes; he stands at right looking down. Dirt ground, wooden stool and foliage surround the scene.2006-09-18
