Outdoor crowd scene in a hilly Himalayan setting. A man with long dark hair and a red bindi sits centrally in a bright blue kurta with gold embroidered trim and an orange cloth draped over his lap, leaning over a wooden frame tied with rope and a folded maroon cloth. Around him, many people press close: a man in a white cap and denim jacket stands at right, an elderly person with white hair at left, and several others in jackets, sweaters and a patterned shirt behind. A rust-red robe edges the right foreground. The surroundings suggest a yatra pilgrimage gathering.

A man with long, wavy dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead stands in profile wearing a bright blue kurta with a gold-coloured shoulder sash and a wooden staff in one hand. Behind him stand men in a blue knit cap, a grey hoodie and dark jackets. To the right, a wooden palanquin-style chair is piled with orange and gold cushions and a yellow cloth. The appearance-based cues are long hair, a tilak and a gold sash, but the person's identity cannot be confirmed from the image, so he is described by role and clothing only.2008-06-30Outdoor photo of a seated man with long dark hair and a red bindi, eyes lowered, wearing a turquoise kurta with embroidered neckline and a gold-yellow shawl over the shoulders. He sits in a wooden palanquin-style seat with a saffron-orange cloth draped below. Several men in jackets, sweaters and shirts stand around him, some holding the wooden poles of the palanquin, with folded blankets and a rope visible at right. The setting appears to be a mountain road. Identity is an appearance-based candidate only: a person seated in a palanquin on the Himalayan Yatra, with long swept hair, saffron-orange cloth and ornate ceremonial shawl as cues, but the appearance is not fully certain.2008-06-30A long-haired man with a red bindi sits smiling on a wooden palanquin-style chair carried on poles, wearing a turquoise-blue kurta with embroidered neckline, an orange dhoti and a gold-threaded shawl draped over his shoulder. Two men stand beside him, one in a grey hooded top and one in a white jacket over a green sweater holding an orange cloth. The setting is a mountain roadside with green hillsides, tin-roofed buildings and a rocky slope behind them. The man on the chair has long swept-back hair, saffron-orange clothing and a shawl, which matches several appearance cues for a person, though this is uncertain from appearance alone.2008-06-30Outdoor photograph of a crowd gathered under orange-gold umbrellas. A central figure in orange robes with long, swept-back dark hair and a large gold necklace raises one hand in blessing while seated, apparently receiving a woman in a light grey hoodie and orange shawl who kneels with palms pressed together.

Appearance-based candidate matches the presentation cues of a person in orange with long hair and gold ornaments, and is physically present.2006-05-30
