Outdoor photo at a bare construction site beside a grey breeze-block wall, with dirt and scattered straw on the ground and green trees behind. Two men stand facing away from the camera. The man on the left has very long dark dreadlocks reaching his waist, bare-chested with a rust-orange wrap, and his hand is raised to his ear. The man on the right is bare-chested with a white dhoti and a sacred thread, wearing dark beaded rudraksha-style malas, and holds a tall red pole. Above them hangs a strand of coloured decorations. A third person in pink is partly visible behind. Their attention is directed up toward the site.

May 10 20182018-05-10Outdoor ceremony beside a tall copper pole topped with a bundle of straw and green leaves, with a palm tree behind. A bearded man with long dreadlocked hair, wearing a rust-brown robe, a yellow and red marigold garland and a layered gold bead necklace, pulls on a rope tied to the pole while looking upward. Beside him, two shaved-headed men in orange cloths with white ash markings on their torsos work at the pole's base, one bending down near a tray of flowers. A red-orange flag fills the lower foreground. Appearance-based cues for a person are present, but the figure is not clearly identifiable, so the label is uncertain. Three people are visible.2016-10-03 +1 copiesApril 17 20172017-04-17Outdoor festival scene with a man in the foreground wearing an orange saffron shawl, long swept-back dark hair, and a long necklace of gold bead-like pendants; he has a gold armlet shaped like a serpent.
