Outdoor scene beneath a large banyan tree with spreading roots, with a paved stone path in the foreground. A man with long dreadlocks and a dark beard, wearing a rust-red wrap and smiling broadly, stands at right, with a man in a white dhoti and white shirt with a red-and-gold border at left wearing glasses and smiling. Between them a man in a lavender shirt and dark trousers stands smiling, and two people in rust-red wraps stand behind: one holds a black video camera to his eye and the other, a woman with a red top and beaded necklaces, holds a blue notebook. The right figure has long dreadlocks in a bun, a rudraksha-style bead necklace and an ornate gold-toned pendant, consistent with the depicted-role cues of a sannyasi, though identity is uncertain from appearance alone.

February 01 20182018-02-01Outdoors beneath a large banyan tree with spreading aerial roots, a smiling man with a tall dreadlocked hairstyle, bare-chested and wearing an orange-red saffron cloth draped over his body, stands on paved stone slabs with a red vermilion mark on his forehead. Beside him, a woman in a matching red-orange garment holds an open book and wears a red bead necklace. To the left, an older bespectacled man in white dhoti and shawl with red-and-gold border smiles, and a man in a lavender shirt and dark trousers stands behind him. Behind them, a red-walled structure and a small shrine area are visible, with rolled plans lying on the ground. Dreadlocks and saffron cloth suggest a sannyasi, with the page noting a construction context; the identity of the central figure remains uncertain from appearance alone.2018-02-01Outdoor photo beneath a large banyan tree with broad green leaves and a hanging purple flower. A bearded man with long dreadlocked hair wrapped in a dark cloth, wearing a rust-orange draped robe and a red wrist thread, stands barefoot on a stone path, smiling broadly.

Two men in white shirts and dhotis and a pink shirt with a teal lungi stand behind them, along with partly visible figures. Red brick structures appear in the background.

A bare-chested man in a rust-red wrap and a long dark braided hairstyle smiles and gestures while talking to a man in white dhoti and shawl with a gold wristwatch. Around them stand several people in orange and rust-red robes with rudraksha malas, including a woman holding a blue notebook and pen, and a man in orange with keys in hand. A man in a purple shirt and headphones stands at left. No candidate can be confidently matched by appearance, so the central figure is described only by role as a sannyasi-style devotee.2018-02-01February 01 20182018-02-01February 01 20182018-02-01February 01 20182018-02-01February 01 20182018-02-01Outdoor photo at a banyan tree site during temple layout work.

A central man wears a rust-orange wrap, a black turban-style head covering, a bare upper body and a neck chain, and he gestures while smiling. To his left a man with long dreadlocks wears a lilac-purple shirt and faces him. Behind them a man in a white shirt and white dhoti with gold border stands, and another man in a pink shirt and teal-green dhoti watches. On the right an older man with glasses wears white ritual cloth with a gold-bordered red shawl and a wristwatch, appearing to give instructions. A figure at far left wears an orange cloth. The central figure shows distinctive adornments but the presentation alone is not enough to confirm an identity, so the appearance is uncertain.2018-02-01Outdoor photo beneath a leafy banyan tree at a temple site. On the left, an older man with glasses wears a white dhoti and shawl with gold and green borders and speaks while gesturing. On the right, a bare-chested man in a dark red-orange wrap and a tall black turban stands with his hands clasped, listening. Behind them, a woman in a red-orange sari holds an open blue book, and another man in orange stands nearby, with red temple structures in the background. The page presents this as a person giving instructions to sthapathis during temple construction, but the appearance of the turbaned man is not distinctive enough to confirm that identity, so the description uses roles only and the a person field is unsure. Count: four people visible.2018-02-01
