In the centre, a long-haired man in orange-saffron robes and a brown-gold garment holds a silver trident and wears layered orange and multicoloured flower garlands with a rudraksha-style necklace. Around him stand devotees in shirts, jeans, a red sari and a red-orange shawl, many barefoot on the stone floor. A man in white with an orange shawl stands in the background within the doorway.

A group of devotees and attendees stands at the entrance of a temple with an ornate golden gabled carved pediment and red-brown pillars. In the centre, a man with long dark hair wears a dense orange-and-marigold garland, a brown-gold patterned top and an orange dhoti, and holds a silver trident. Beside him, a shaved-headed man in saffron robes and rudraksha beads stands with hands folded. Around them, women in red and orange saris, men in shirts and jeans, and a white-shirted man with a lanyard stand on stone paving. The appearance-based candidate's presentation with long hair, garland and trident is not sufficient to name him; he is described by role as a visiting devotee at the temple entrance.2012-08-01August 01 20122012-08-01Outdoor photo at the entrance of a multi-tiered temple gate with a sign reading Sri Pashupatinath Mandir, decorated with painted deity reliefs, ornate gilded pediment and columns. Standing in front are a central figure in a saffron-orange robe holding a trident, and beside them a figure wearing a large orange and red floral garland and ornate gold-patterned clothing, with a red bindi-like mark. Around them stand about eight men in casual shirts and trousers, a woman in a red top, and a woman in red dress, all barefoot on stone paving. A painted panel above shows a blue deity holding a trident. Eight to ten people are visible. No clear a person cues beyond a generic robed figure, so identity is uncertain.2012-08-01August 01 20122012-08-01August 01 20122012-08-01August 01 20122012-08-01January 22 20142014-01-22A photograph of a crowd at a temple entrance with banana leaves and a painted signboard above. At centre, a long-haired figure in orange robes and a leopard-print shawl, wearing a white flower garland with red blossoms and a rudraksha mala, descends a stair with white and red steps decorated with white kolam motifs. Beside them, a bald priest in orange and another bearded man in orange carry a ceremonial staff and a garlanded object. Men and women in white and yellow ritual dress and yellow scarves surround them, many with hands raised or pressed together, while onlookers stand behind and cameras appear at the edges. The description identifies a probable Swamiji by long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ornate shawl alongside his garland.2010-02-12A procession exits a white shrine entrance decorated with banana stalks, green leaf garlands and yellow-and-orange flower strings, with a sign above reading part of "ANANDESHWARA". A central bare-chested man with long dark hair wears a red and white flower garland and a gold necklace, and walks barefoot with a saffron-orange cloth draped over his shoulders. Around him, saffron-clad men carry golden trident-topped staffs and a tall ornate ceremonial parasol is visible behind. Men in white dhotis and shirts, several with ID lanyards, and women and children in white and yellow press forward with palms joined in greeting. Many onlookers line the steps and the entrance.2009-12-27August 01 20122012-08-01Photo of a temple procession outside a stone temple gateway with carved pillars and sculpted figures. At centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange saffron cloth, a thick orange-and-gold flower garland, a gold necklace and gold bangles, and carries a white staff with a red tip. Around him, several men in white dhotis with gold borders, some with rudraksha malas, walk along; one shaved-headed man in front holds a white staff and another wears dark-rimmed glasses. A man in a grey shirt stands at the left edge. The central figure has distinctive long hair, ornate gold and saffron attire, and is walked with by attendants, so the appearance is a probable match for a person in a temple visit context.2011-12-08August 01 20122012-08-01
