A photograph of a man in a red-orange shawl draped over his shoulder and arm, wearing a red and white flower garland and gold-beaded bracelets. He leans toward an ornately carved reddish-brown temple structure and holds an orange cord or rope with his hand. Yellow flowers decorate the carved stonework, and palm fronds appear in the background. A small red bindi marks his forehead. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), shown in person as the man performing the temple task with the rope; the cues are the swept-back long hair, the saffron-orange wrap and the ornate gold beads and garland.
