A photograph of a shaved-headed man in an orange-saffron garment with a yellow edge, standing in a white-walled room and holding up a tall multi-tiered brass aarti lamp with a serpent-shaped handle. The lamp has several tiers of small flames burning in oil lamps, and the man's hand is reaching toward the handle. Smoke or incense drifts in the air, and a video camera sits at the left edge of the frame, with a dark screen behind. The man is a priest performing aarti; the image shows no visible face-based identity cues matching the a person candidate criteria.

October 13 20122012-10-13A photograph of a tiered silver aarti lamp stand with multiple rows of lit oil lamps, flames rising and smoke drifting, held by a man in orange robes with a white vertical tilak on his forehead and a white marking on his arm. He holds the ornate silver handle of the aarti lamp in his right hand, gazing toward the flames in a plain room with white walls, a barred window, electronic equipment and wooden cabinets behind him. This is a single person; no appearance-based a person candidate is established by the visible cues alone, so identity is unsure.2012-07-25November 26 20112011-11-26A photograph of a shaved-headed man in saffron-orange robes holding a tall, multi-tiered brass aarti lamp with many lit oil lamps on each tier, the flames rising high.
