A photograph inside a plain workshop shed with a corrugated roof and white walls. A long-haired man in an orange saffron robe stands center-left, gesturing toward a large round wooden base with carved concentric panels on the floor. Behind him a bald man in white with a yellow shawl stands in the doorway. On the right a seated man in white with an orange scarf kneels beside the base, and another man in white with an orange sash stands near the stacked wooden planks and carved gilded panels. A man in a pink shirt and white dhoti stands at the left edge. Red wooden boxes and a small wooden stool are stacked at left. The orange-robed figure is an appearance-based candidate for a person, and the people visible total five.

December 15 20092009-12-15September 20 20062006-09-20A photograph inside an open-sided workshop with a corrugated roof, woven lattice walls and unfinished concrete blocks. Several saffron-robed sannyasis wearing orange head cloths stand grouped in the foreground. The man at the front right has long dark hair, wears an orange robe and sandals, and gestures toward the floor. Beside him, a man in an orange robe with an orange head cloth and beaded necklace stands near a bearded sadhu. A white-shirted man stands to the right, and another stands at the back. The floor is strewn with carved wooden or copper-coloured temple panels, figures and architectural pieces, with a wooden easel and tools nearby. The setting appears to be a craft or sculpture workshop.2007-08-09September 19 20062006-09-19Inside an open-sided thatched workshop with lattice screens, a man in a saffron-orange shawl and dark wrap stands at centre with long dark hair, facing a row of large bronze and metal vessels and dark stone or metal pieces on the concrete floor. Around him, several men in plain white dhotis and white shirts stand watching; one in white wears an orange shawl and a rudraksha-style mala and holds a hand near his chest. A white plastic chair and metal drums are visible at right, along with a white cloth panel behind. The setting suggests temple or ratham workshop work, with the group observing the metalwork.2006-09-19September 26 20062006-09-26A photograph of an open-sided thatched shelter with a bare concrete floor and laundry hung from wooden poles. In the foreground a figure with long dark hair wears a saffron-orange garment draped over one shoulder and stands before a small golden deity murti or ritual object on a wooden wheeled stand, with a gold kalasha-like finial and red flower offerings at its base. To the left, a man in saffron robes stands with hands clasped, and a woman in white stands near the back. On the right, two men in white shirts and white dhotis stand with hands folded, one holding a bead or mala. A striped woman in an orange-and-red garment stands centrally. Several people are present, all standing near the shrine.2006-09-20December 30 20092009-12-30A photograph inside an open-sided thatched shed with a concrete floor and wooden planks. A central figure in a long orange robe with long dark hair stands barefoot, with a wrapped orange cloth around the torso; his description aligns with a person appearance by long swept hair and orange clothing, though identity is uncertain. Around him stand several young men: two in orange robes, one in an orange shawl holding a folded cloth, and others in white kurtas and white dhotis, some with arms folded. One holds a colourful book. A wooden carved panel and a brass-toned lamp stand at the right foreground, and a small flame with red flowers rests on the floor near the lower right. Concrete block walls and a wire mesh enclosure form the background.2006-09-20September 20 20062006-09-20September 20 20062006-09-20Photograph inside an ashram storeroom with a metal-roofed ceiling and shelving on the left stacked with rolled orange and red cloth and hung orange drapes.
