A man in a rust-red wrap stands beside an ornate gold-carved wooden structure, reaching out with his right arm toward its top edge. He wears a leopard-patterned yellow and brown turban, and his left forearm is wrapped in white bandaging. A grey brick wall forms the backdrop, and a thin wire runs across the upper scene. Appearance cues are limited to his turban and red wrap, and the scene shows no clear ritual event.

A man in a rust-brown sleeveless wrap garment and a leopard-print turban stands on a paved outdoor floor in front of a concrete block wall at night, smiling and looking down while reaching toward a pale sculptural form on the ground. A small red bindi marks his forehead and a thin gold chain is visible at his neck. His right forearm is wrapped in white bandaging. Behind him are wooden benches and equipment near a corrugated panel, with a fluorescent light above. The setting suggests a workshop or ashram courtyard where figures are being crafted.

A man stands speaking with a small red bindi on his forehead, wearing a leopard-print cloth wrapped as a turban and a sleeveless rust-red wrap over his shoulders with gold trim visible at the chest. A white bandage covers his raised left forearm, and a headset microphone is fixed near his mouth. Behind him, a grey concrete-block wall and a wooden table with dark objects.

A smiling man stands in a dim room with a grey brick wall behind him. He wears a leopard-print turban with fringed ends, a red bindi on his forehead, and a rust-red sleeveless wrap draped over his body. A small headset microphone is clipped near his face. A blurred figure in red stands at the left edge, and a lamp is visible at the top. Appearance cues are limited to the turban and wrap, so identity is uncertain and he is described by role only as a speaker wearing a headset microphone.

A man walks barefoot across a concrete stage outdoors, wearing a rust-brown unstitched robe with gold borders wrapped over the shoulder and a matching dhoti-style lower garment. He has a gold-and-brown beaded necklace with a large gold pendant, gold earrings, a white forehead mark with a red dot, and a white bandage on his right forearm. Behind him are a green utility truck, potted plants, palm trees and a small red building with a white signboard, and a person in white with a red shawl sits in the background.

A man in rust-brown sannyasi robes walks across a paved courtyard, wearing a long red and yellow flower garland and a gold-studded cream belt with a red bindi on his forehead, a headset microphone visible at his ear. Behind him is an ornate gold-carved wooden stand and a small wooden cart wheel with brass bowls. A second man in white with an orange shawl stands at the right edge. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable) walking in procession-style attire; the long swept-back hair, saffron-brown robes and garland are the qualifying cues.

A man stands at night beside tall polished brass oil lamps on a stone plinth in front of an ornate carved stone pillar. He wears a leopard-print headband with a red tilak on his forehead, a red-brown dhoti and wrap with gold borders, a white and orange flower garland, gold necklaces, large gold hoop earrings and gold armbands. His hands are folded in greeting and he smiles. A small deity shrine with a teal cloth and white flower garland sits to the left, and red curtains hang behind. Facial appearance alone does not establish identity; the page indicates a person attended this event, and his presentation includes a saffron-toned wrap, gold ornaments and a flower garland, so he is a probable candidate.

A man seated on an ornate gilded throne with a carved golden back and gold lion-head armrests, upholstered in red cushions with black tiger-stripe fabric. He wears a rust-red and gold-bordered robe draped over his shoulder, a brown rudraksha mala across his chest, matching beaded bracelets on his upper arms and wrists, a red-and-gold turban with a silver ornamental brooch, and a red bindi. Behind him are a blue wall and colourful painted pots.
