March 15 20142014-03-15Group photograph of eight men in indoor white-walled setting, mostly shaved-headed, wearing rust-brown and orange dhotis with gold borders and shawls, many with rudraksha malas and white tripundra marks on foreheads. A woman in white salwar kameez stands at the far left edge. The men stand in a loose line, some with hands folded, one in the centre with hands together. Renunciate attire suggests sannyasi and monastic devotees. No candidate for a person is distinctively identifiable by appearance, so no identification is made.2014-03-15September 13 20142014-09-13Three men in ritual settings. In the centre, a man in a maroon and gold-bordered cloth with a rudraksha mala and a small pendant holds a glass vessel with a crystal-like object and water, while looking down at a laptop on the left. Beside him, a shaven-headed man in maroon and gold garments with a rudraksha mala and a bindi stands near the laptop. Behind them, a bare-chested man with a tilak and a white dhoti with gold border stands against a wooden door. The scene appears to be a satsang-style ritual setup with a laptop on a table.2015-08-28A group of shaved-headed men in saffron-orange robes with gold borders sits cross-legged on a red floor during a satsang. Several wear rudraksha malas and gold pendant necklaces, and some have white and red sectarian marks on their foreheads and arms. A man in the centre foreground speaks while others listen attentively, and a man at the far right with a gold necklace and red mark on his forehead looks down. Another man in white robes with a white forehead band sits in the back row. The setting is an indoor hall with a red mat and a red and white backdrop. No figure is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance cues, so the a person field is unsure.2013-03-10Photograph of a seated group during a ritual in a hall. In the foreground, several men sit cross-legged in saffron and orange robes with rudraksha malas, white tilak markings on their foreheads and arms, and brass puja vessels and offering bowls laid on low tables before them. The man at far right wears white clothing with a red shawl and glasses, hands clasped in prayer. Behind them, other devotees sit in the background.2014-09-07A seated group of devotees in an indoor hall. In the foreground, two shaved-headed men in orange and maroon sannyasa-style robes wear rudraksha malas, white ash markings on forehead and arms, and armbands; the man on the right holds his hands together in his lap. Behind them more devotees in orange and yellow robes sit in rows, and on the far right an older man in white kurta wears a red-brown mala and a pendant. A red curtain and cream walls form the backdrop, with a small purple bird logo in the top-left corner. Several more people are partly visible at the edges.2015-02-02A group of smiling men in saffron and maroon robes stands together in a plain cream-walled room. The central figure wears a saffron robe, a white tilak on his forehead, a rudraksha mala and a pendant, and holds a small green leaf offering in his hands. Men beside him wear maroon robes, dark rudraksha malas and orange shawls, some with glasses.2014-03-15July 31 20152015-07-31July 11 20132013-07-11Photo of a group of saffron-robed sannyasis indoors against a pale yellow wall beside a wooden door frame. Five standing or seated men wear orange and saffron cloth, long beaded and gold-pendant necklaces, and some carry rudraksha malas. In the foreground, a smiling man with a red headband, long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and a gold pendant sits beside an older bald man with white-painted forehead markings and a red bindi, who sits in a wheelchair in an ornate saffron shawl. Among the standing men, one holds a purple object, another has folded arms, and the far right holds a black book. Two people are partially visible at the edges. A foreground figure with long swept-back hair, crown-like headband, saffron and ornate clothing fits the Swamiji cues, so the appearance-based label is probable.2012-05-18A group of devotees in orange and rust-coloured robes sits cross-legged on a floor during a seated gathering. In the foreground, two shaved-headed men wear rudraksha malas and ochre-and-gold shawls; the left one has his hands folded and eyes lowered, while the right one, with a white horizontal tilak across his forehead and a red dot, speaks. Behind them, more seated people in saffron clothing and white forehead markings fill the room, with brass oil lamps and small offering dishes on the floor.2014-04-10
