A photograph of an indoor gathering in a pillared hall. In the foreground a seated figure in a saffron-orange robe with long, swept-back dark hair holds up a framed painting of a blue-skinned deity with a golden crown and a bow, while a man in a light shirt and dark trousers on the left holds out a red-and-pink patterned gift box with a red ribbon. Around them stand several men in white dhotis and bare-chested devotees, some with sacred thread, plus a man in a white shirt on the right. The framed painting is presented as an offering. The saffron-robed figure's long hair, saffron robe and gesture are the main cues in this scene.2006-11-09November 09 20062006-11-09November 10 20062006-11-10Indoor photo in a pillared hall with a dark red carpet and white plastic chairs. In the foreground a seated figure with long dark hair wears an orange saffron wrap and sits facing away from the camera. Before them, a man in a light shirt and grey trousers holds up a folded pink-and-green patterned cloth bundle with a red cloth, while an older man in white dhoti and shirt bends to receive it. A shirtless young man with a sacred thread and white dhoti stands between them. Several men in white dhotis and light shirts stand around, watching. The seated figure in saffron is a candidate for the a person role, though the appearance is not clear enough to confirm it.2006-11-09November 10 20062006-11-10November 09 20062006-11-09November 09 20062006-11-09A photograph of an indoor palace-style hall with white columns, a chandelier and green walls. A seated figure in an orange saffron garment with long swept-back dark hair, holding a red-and-pink wrapped gift or cloth, is receiving visitors. Standing around him are several people: an older man in white shirt and white dhoti at left, a woman in white sari with a red border and gold bangles, an elderly man in white with a gold-rimmed hand gesture offering something, a shirtless smiling man in a white dhoti with a thin cord around his neck, and other onlookers in white and light shirts. The seated figure has distinctive long hair and orange clothing, but appearance alone is not decisive for identity.2006-11-10November 10 20062006-11-10November 09 20062006-11-09November 09 20062006-11-09Indoor photograph in a palace hall with white pillars and a chandelier. A bare-chested man in a white dhoti with rudraksha beads stands at center, holding a framed black-and-white photograph of a building. Facing him from the back is a figure in a saffron-orange shawl with long dark hair, whose back is to the camera. Around them stand older men and a woman in white garments and a shawl, several with hands joined in greeting, and a younger man in a cream shirt and white dhoti. A man with shaved head wears a gold necklace and white dhoti. The orange-clad figure has long swept-back hair and a saffron wrap, which are cues consistent with a person as the recipient of the presentation, though his face is not visible.2006-11-10
