276 dated photos in previewSource gallery
A candid photograph of two men seated side by side outdoors, viewed in profile. The older man on the left has white hair, wire-rimmed glasses and wears a plain white shirt. The man on the right has dark hair and a moustache and wears a white shirt with a multicoloured striped shawl in red, orange, green and yellow draped over his shoulders. Behind them are other seated people in white, a red cushion, a blue cloth and wooden poles. No a person candidate is visibly identifiable from appearance, so they are described by role only as devotees seated at the gathering.

A saffron-robed sannyasi walks down a red carpet strewn with petals through a gateway decorated with banana leaves and a striped canopy. He wears a white flower garland around his neck. Devotees line both sides with hands pressed together in greeting; women wear sarees in red, yellow and orange, and a small boy in a white shirt stands at left. Iron gates frame the entrance and palm trees and a building appear behind.A photograph of a central figure in a saffron-orange robe walking along a red carpet strewn with pink flower petals, wearing a long garland of white flowers and red, blue and green beads. Devotees line both sides with hands pressed together in anjali; women wear saris in yellow, maroon, pink and gold, and a small child stands at left. Men in white shirts and dhotis stand in the group behind him. Behind the entrance arch hang bunches of green bananas on banana plants, with brass oil lamps on pedestals and red-and-gold railings. The figure has the saffron robe and garland cues of a sannyasi, so this appearance-based candidate is described as a person receiving devotee greeting at the entrance; the setting appears to be a house visit or satsang welcome.Indoor photo of a house interior with a pink-washed wall and a staircase with black metal railings on the right. A figure in an orange-saffron robe with a long white and orange flower garland walks down a central aisle strewn with pink and yellow petals, toward an open wooden doorway.
