A photograph inside a plain room with cream walls and a grey tiled floor. A man in a saffron-orange kurta with a maroon-edged dhoti or wrap stands at left, holding a small packet or cloth in both hands and wearing a silver bangle. At right, a woman in a white sari with gold and maroon border bends forward, lighting a brass oil lamp shaped like a bird on the floor. A wooden wall shrine holding a brass dish with flowers hangs at upper right, and a green curtain shows at the window at left. The man's appearance does not qualify as a recognisable candidate, so the role is given as a man in saffron clothing.

A standing figure in an orange saffron robe with a white flower garland waves a lit oil lamp before a wooden shrine cabinet with small symbols; smoke rises from the flame.

Brass bowls, flowers and a small table sit at the base of the shrine, and a refrigerator covered in pictures stands at right.

A man with long swept-back dark hair, bare-chested under an orange saffron wrap edged with gold trim, stands at the table holding a brass bell in one hand and a lit lamp or incense-like object in the other, performing a puja. Behind him a man in white and a woman in a white sari with a dark beaded necklace watch with folded hands; a third person in orange clothing with palms pressed together stands at the right edge. Thin smoke rises near the wall. The distinctive long hair, orange wrap and ritual bell offer compatible cues for the page's identified figure, so the probable label applies to the bell-ringing man.2012-01-03February 24 20092009-02-24
