A standing man on a dirt road beside a rocky bank and dense green foliage. He wears a white dhoti with a thin red border and a loosely draped white upper cloth, with a black belt cinched at the waist. He carries a long bamboo staff held across his chest with both hands in añjali, a dark blue backpack on his shoulders, and white sneakers with socks. A large rusted metal drum lies to the right. He looks off to the side. No a person candidate is evident; he is a pilgrim on a yatra route.

He wears a white dhoti and a white shawl bordered with gold, and a long black beaded rudraksha-style mala hangs on his chest. His hands are folded at his waist in a calm, attentive pose. To the right, another man in white with a shaved head stands partly visible, and a person in orange robes is at the edge of the frame. Hanging bells and vines are visible overhead, with a stone-paved path in the background.2011-09-07Outdoor photograph of two men walking along a sandy dirt path lined with tall trees, palms and green undergrowth. The man on the left wears a long orange-saffron wrap over his torso and an orange dhoti-style garment, with long, swept-back dark hair and sandals, and carries a white walking stick. The man on the right wears a white kurta and white dhoti with a red-bordered edge, an orange shawl draped over one shoulder and a dark cord around his neck, and walks barefoot. Ordinary rural greenery and a building edge are visible in the background.2006-10-07A man in white ritual clothing stands in a doorway with orange-red walls and a metal grille behind him. He wears a white unstitched wrap draped over one shoulder with a thin orange border, and a long necklace of brown rudraksha beads. His forehead bears white ash markings with a red dot, and his hair is swept back. Green plants and a green mat are visible at left, with a red mat on the floor below. He is walking and looking off to the side. The lone visible person is an appearance-based candidate for a person with several cues: rudraksha mala and sacred ash, but the face and presentation are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so it is marked as uncertain.2011-10-14A man stands outdoors before a large tree trunk, smiling softly with hands clasped at his waist. He wears a white unstitched cloth draped over one shoulder and wrapped around the body, with a gold-bordered hem, and multiple strands of brown rudraksha beads with silver spacers around his neck, rudraksha bands on his upper arms and wrists. He has white vibhuti stripes on his forehead and a red kumkum dot between his brows, with hair slicked back. Warm golden light falls across the scene.2012-04-13October 14 20112011-10-14A photograph of two men standing on a marble step at the entrance of a pale yellow building with a dark doorway behind them. On the right, a man with long, swept-back dark hair and a white tilak on his forehead wears a loose saffron-orange wrap that leaves his shoulder bare, plus orange-strapped sandals, and holds a long dark wooden staff with a brass handle. On the left, a younger man in a white kurta and white dhoti with red borders, with an orange shawl over his shoulder, holds a folded orange cloth. Dry leaves lie on the paved ground.2006-11-10A man stands barefoot on a woven mat and a small patterned red rug in front of a large banyan tree with thick hanging aerial roots. He wears a white dhoti-style garment with a white upper cloth edged in gold-brown border, multiple strands of rudraksha beads as a long necklace, beaded armlets and wrist bands, and has a white vibhuti line with a red kumkum dot on his forehead. His hands are clasped together at his waist and he gazes upward with a calm smile. A garland of red, yellow and white flowers hangs on the tree trunk behind him, and patterned mats lead up white steps. A dark wooden stool is in the lower right foreground.2012-04-13
