Outdoor photo under a white canvas tent beside trees. In the centre stands a tall, ornate bronze-coloured metal kalasha-shaped vessel with a finial and carved floral and geometric bands, next to a large wooden carved deity figure. Beside it a young man with long dark hair and an orange saffron wrap stands looking down, and to the right a person in a white shirt bends over a stone pit. Other men stand at the left edge, one with an arm raised. a person cues are limited here: the orange-clad man has long hair but the face and presentation are not distinctive enough to confirm, so he is described as a person in saffron clothing.

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.2006-09-18September 18 20062006-09-18A photograph of a large bronze deity murti, its detailed ornamental headdress and carved hands in the foreground, with a person in an orange saffron wrap standing beside it under a white cloth canopy. The figure has long dark hair and gazes down toward the metalwork. Behind, workers in a construction area with a brick-lined pit and loose soil are visible, one in a pale shirt bent over, and another partly visible person in pink headwear at the right edge. The white canopy and tree foliage frame the outdoor temple-site scene.2006-09-18September 18 20062006-09-18September 18 20062006-09-18A photograph of a temple deity inspection under a white cloth canopy outdoors. A young man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red tilak wears an orange saffron robe and stands at right, touching the metal surface of a large bronze deity murti with a carved, ornate crown. Beside him, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti, with a rudraksha mala, leans in and holds the murti. Another man in white clothing is partly visible at left, pressing on the bronze. Stacked red bricks, dirt ground and green trees are visible behind. Only the a person identity cue of long hair, saffron robe and tilak is present on the standing figure, so the appearance match is probable, but the face is not visible and identification is uncertain.2006-09-18A 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.2006-09-18A 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 copiesA 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.2006-09-18September 18 20062006-09-18September 18 20062006-09-18A long-haired man in an orange saffron wrap stands under a white tarpaulin at an outdoor work site, reaching out to touch the hand of a large bronze-coloured deity murti with multiple arms and an ornate crown. A second man in a white shirt and dark trousers stands behind, raising an arm beside a pile of sand and construction material. The murti wears a tall crown, ornate jewellery and armlets. The man in orange has distinctive long, swept-back hair and saffron clothing, a compatible presentation, but the face is not clearly visible and identity is uncertain.2006-09-18
