Several men in saffron-orange robes stand in a narrow stone corridor lined with painted wooden panels. The man in front, with long dark hair, a floral garland on his head, a gold chain necklace and rudraksha-style beads, wears a saffron shawl over his shoulder and gestures toward a painting. Beside him, a bald man in orange points at the panels, and a young man at left wears gold beaded necklaces. Behind them, the wall holds rows of red-and-gold painted scenes of deities, figures on horseback and temple architecture. Light from a ceiling tube falls along the corridor.

May 07 20122012-05-07Indoor photo in a narrow stone-walled temple corridor. In the foreground a man in saffron-orange and gold-bordered dhoti and shawl wears a gold crown-like headband and a long beaded rudraksha-style mala with a large gold pendant; he points at a wall of painted panels with red, yellow and green temple and figure scenes. Two monks in orange robes walk behind him, one bald and smiling, the other with a mala. Fluorescent light and grey granite pillars surround them. The man's appearance with crown and mala is a possible a person candidate, but the identification is uncertain from the image alone.2012-05-07A photograph inside a stone-pillared hall where a man in saffron-orange robes with a gold-thread border walks past long wooden panels painted in red, green and yellow with rows of figures and temple scenes.

In the foreground, a bare-chested man in a white dhoti with a white sacred thread and a beaded necklace stands beside a figure in a saffron-orange robe wearing long dark hair and an ornate gold-and-orange garland, who studies the murals. Other people in white and orange clothing stand at the right edge. A small wooden stool with a brass object sits on the floor below the paintings.2006-11-10November 10 20062006-11-10A man in a flowing saffron-orange robe and a thick gold necklace stands at right, long dark hair swept back, pointing up toward a wall of large painted panels. Beside him a bare-chested man in a white dhoti and a white sacred thread looks on. At far right a partly visible man in white gestures toward the paintings. The mural panels depict Hindu epic scenes: a figure with a golden crown and blue skin embraced by a forest-dwelling pair in a cave, a bow-wielding blue-skinned hero with a winged attendant beside a palace, and a group of figures in saffron dhotis before a thatched hut. Warm orange drapery and pillars frame the left edge.2006-11-10May 08 20122012-05-08A photograph taken in a narrow tiled corridor of a palace with a dark wooden ceiling and painted murals along the left wall showing an elephant, figures in a colonnaded courtyard, people bathing in a pool and a tree. Four men walk in a line toward the right. The front man on the right wears an orange saffron robe, a long gold necklace and has long dark hair, smiling as he looks ahead; he is a person in orange robes, and the appearance-based cues are long hair, saffron clothing and a gold necklace, so he is a person candidate. Beside and behind him, the other three men are bare-chested with white dhoti-style cloths and walk barefoot; one has a moustache and a mostly bald head, one is white-haired, and one is partly hidden behind them in white. A small wall niche with an oil lamp is visible on the right.2006-11-10
