A photograph of a welcome procession at a temple-style entrance decorated with multicolored paper streamers overhead and a green carpet strewn with flower petals. A man with long dark hair in an orange saffron robe walks barefoot down the carpet toward the viewer, gesturing with one hand. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron robe, and a rudraksha-style necklace mark him as a candidate. Beside him, a drummer in a white dhoti and shirt plays a red-and-gold drum, and a boy in white shirt and trousers stands at right. A cameraman in white with a yellow shawl films in the foreground, and white-clad men line the doorway behind, beneath a garland hung over the threshold.

A photograph of a welcoming procession entering a decorated gateway. A central figure in a flowing orange saffron robe walks along a green carpet strewn with flower petals, with a long dark-haired figure in a saffron wrap behind him. Two drummers in white dhoti and shirt with red sashes play large barrel drums with red and white lacing. A boy in white shirt and shorts walks at the right gate, and a man in a white shirt stands at the left gate. Overhead hang multicoloured metallic fringe streamers. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure in the orange robe, identifiable by his long swept-back dark hair and saffron clothing; he is leading the procession.2010-02-15November 27 20062006-11-27November 25 20062006-11-25A photograph inside a newly built hall with white walls, a grey floor and a red carpet runner.

Behind him, a camera operator in white with a shoulder-mounted video camera films the scene. On the left, a woman in white with a long shawl gestures near blue curtains trimmed with yellow marigold garlands, and boxes and offering trays sit against the wall. On the right, men in white shirts and dhotis carry a tray and stand by a red double door decorated with gold medallions and marigold festoons. The room is brightly lit by tube lights and a ceiling fan.2010-02-18December 27 20092009-12-27November 29 20112011-11-29November 22 20102010-11-22March 03 20112011-03-03March 03 20112011-03-03March 03 20112011-03-03December 21 20092009-12-21December 30 20082008-12-30
