A photograph inside a workshop-like hall with a metal gate and tiled floor. On the left, several large bronze deity statues are seated and standing, including a seated figure with a red shawl and green dhoti and standing figures in orange and green garments. In the centre, a man with long dark hair wears a deep red-brown dhoti with a gold-and-orange border, and a long rudraksha-style mala hangs from his neck; he is walking and smiling. Beside him, a man in a white kurta with an orange shawl holds up a phone to photograph the statues. Several other men in dark shirts and white dhotis stand around the entrance. The presence of a person is an appearance-based candidate from the long hair, red robe, and mala cues.2014-06-19A photograph of an interior hall with a tiled floor where several people walk past a row of large bronze-coloured deity statues. On the left, a seated deity figure in red and green drapery sits beside a female figure in orange and green; a standing golden figure stands behind them, and a seated golden figure with raised hand is at the far left. In the centre, a woman in a maroon and orange sari walks forward pointing toward the statues, followed by men in white kurta-pyjama clothing, one wearing an orange and white shawl. Beyond an open folding gate, more people and a rocky outdoor landscape are visible. A gilded doorway frame stands at the right and a small table and chair are near the wall.2014-06-19Photograph in a covered walkway beside a temple-style building. On the left, two large bronze deity murti statues stand on wooden platforms; one wears an orange sari with green border. A bald man in white dhoti and white kurta with a saffron-orange shawl walks forward holding a dark mobile phone, flanked by a man in white kurta and white dhoti in the centre-right, and a man in a red short-sleeved shirt and white trousers on the right. Additional people in white and dark clothing stand in the background near a folding metal gate.2014-06-19A photograph of a room with a plain white wall and thatched ceiling where a row of brass and gold-toned deity murti statues are arranged on a white-draped table and floor. On the right, a figure in an orange turban and orange robes, with long dark hair, gestures toward the statues; the orange-robed figure is a probable Swamiji by appearance, with distinctive saffron clothing and long hair. Beside him, a man in a red and gold shawl and red dhoti stands facing the statues, and another man in a red-and-gold bag stands behind. Three more men stand at the left edge in white shirts and green-striped shirt, one in a white dhoti.2006-12-20June 11 20142014-06-11June 28 20142014-06-28August 06 20142014-08-06June 11 20142014-06-11A photograph inside a plain whitewashed room with a tiled-roof structure and wooden door. A bare-backed man in orange cloth with an orange head wrap stands with his back to the camera, facing a row of golden and bronze deity murtis on low pedestals. Three men in white dhotis stand to the left; one in a red-and-gold silk shawl holds a folded red-and-gold cloth. A bronze deity figure with raised hand is in the foreground, and a white-stone standing deity stands at the right. Floor mats are stacked at left. The setting suggests a temple preparation or puja arrangement.2006-12-20June 28 20142014-06-28February 01 20152015-02-01A photograph inside a large open workshop with a corrugated metal roof, where rows of golden bronze deity murti and statues sit on red-draped tables and along the floor. A man in a rust-orange and saffron dhoti and shawl with a marigold garland and rudraksha mala stands with his arm extended toward the statues, gesturing as he explains them. Beside him a bald man in orange robes holds a red cloth, and a man in white dhoti with a sacred thread stands nearby. A crowd of devotees in white and orange clothing stands behind a metal chain barrier, and a steel tripod frame hangs overhead. The a person candidate is the central figure with long swept-back hair, a garland and orange clothing, but his appearance is not conclusive enough to confirm identity, so he is described by role only.2014-08-24
