A photograph inside a plain white-walled room with a barred window on the left. A figure seen from behind wears a bright orange turban and orange clothing, with long dark hair and a white jasmine garland with red flowers around the neck; the face is not visible. Nearby, a man in a white-and-pink striped shirt and a woman in green and a young girl stand watching. On a small white-draped table in the lower left are two framed deity pictures garlanded with white and orange flowers, brass oil lamps with lit flames, and a small offering dish. The scene suggests a devotional room visit during the Pattanam inauguration event.2008-07-28July 28 20082008-07-28A photograph inside a white-walled room at a window with grey grilles. A figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban, wearing a white flower garland, lights an oil lamp held near a small wooden table. On the table sit a framed picture of a deity and a framed photograph of a figure seated on a decorated vehicle, both garlanded with white and red flowers, plus a small brass cup. A man in a white shirt presses his palms together in front, and a child in white watches. Through the window, a crowd and green banana leaves are visible, and a man in white with a red-and-white shawl stands in the doorway behind.2008-07-28July 28 20082008-07-28July 28 20082008-07-28July 28 20082008-07-28July 28 20082008-07-28Photo inside a bare white-walled room with a barred window, where a figure in an orange turban and orange-saffron cloth stands near a small red wooden table. On the table is a framed photograph with garlands and brass oil lamps beside it, and a devotee in white is lighting or tending the lamps. Several women with hair in buns, one wearing white jasmine garlands and a yellow sari, face the table from the foreground. A man in white with an orange-red sash holds up a phone or camera at left, and a man in white stands near the centre. Through the window a crowd of onlookers is visible outdoors among green banana leaves. The figure in the orange turban is visually consistent with the a person candidate description, but the face is not clearly visible enough for confident identification, so this is unsure.2008-07-28July 28 20082008-07-28Indoor photograph in a plain white-walled room with an arched doorway and a kitchen area at left. A man in an orange turban, orange robe and a multicoloured flower garland with a rudraksha mala holds up a lit oil lamp with his right hand, pointing toward a wall. A woman in an orange sari bends to light a small lamp near the wall. Behind them a man in white dhoti and shirt holds a bell, while on the right an older woman in a blue sari and a man in white with folded hands watch, and a woman in blue carries a child. The man in orange has distinctive long hair and rudraksha cues, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate in an appearance-based label. Smoke rises near the wall.2008-07-28A man in an orange turban, orange shawl and white garland stands at a red-topped altar in a white-walled room, holding a lit flame toward a framed deity picture and a framed photo of a temple with marigold garlands. A man in white shirt and white dhoti stands with palms joined in prayer in the foreground, and a man in white shirt is partly visible at the left doorway, with a crowd of onlookers in white outside the window and doorway. The orange-turbaned figure's distinctive orange turban and shawl are visible, but his identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so he is described as a priest performing an aarti before the altar. Oil lamp flame and garlands are visible.2008-07-28A small whitewashed room with a barred window opening onto a crowd outside. A figure in orange robes and an orange head wrap with a white flower garland stands at a wooden table with their back to the camera, facing the window. Beside them, a man in white shirt and white dhoti bends over the table, lighting or placing a small flame. An older man in white dhoti and shirt with a cream shawl stands at left, and a few heads of seated people are visible in the foreground. Outside the window, many people gather under trees. The figure in orange is described only by role and clothing; the appearance cues are a single orange head wrap and orange robes, which are not sufficient for an identification.2008-07-28
