June 15 2004 - Himalayan Yatra - Delhi and Rishikesh2004-06-15June 15 2004 - Himalayan Yatra - Delhi and Rishikesh2004-06-15A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-red robe with long dark hair, wearing a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, placing a hand on the shoulder of a man in white clothes who is seated with his back to the camera. Behind them, orange shawls hang over chairs and a man with a lanyard and a seated man in white with an orange shawl watch. In the lower right, books and white flower petals lie on the floor. Four or so people are visible.2004-06-15March 23 20082008-03-23March 27 20082008-03-27Photograph of a diksha initiation at the Shuddhadvaitam camp in Ujjain. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits close to a boy in white kurta and red shawl, extending his right hand to touch the boy's forehead. A small paper or cloth is held in his other hand, and more people in white, red and pink clothing sit and stand behind, with a cooler fan and potted plants in the room. Possible a person cues are the long dreadlocked hair, saffron robe and rudraksha beads, so the central figure is recorded as a candidate in person.2016-05-06A seated man in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back hair and a rudraksha mala sits on a white-draped throne, gently touching the head of a small child kneeling before him. Next to him, a shaved-headed monk in orange robes with a tilak holds up a printed receipt or card. A woman in a pink sari with a long plait and gold necklace bows with hands folded, and a man in a checked shirt stands in line. Behind them, attendants in white shirts and orange shawls stand near a table with flower offerings, fruit and a tray of kumkum-coloured prasad. Devotees fill the room, and a pedestal fan and red curtain are visible in the background. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure receiving devotees, identified by the long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha mala.2008-03-12A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits on a green-armed chair, smiling as he reaches forward to accept a small orange book offered by a kneeling devotee in a cream and saffron shawl. Behind them, a crowd of men in white kurtas and orange cloth sits and stands, one man in orange holds another book, and a stack of books rests at the lower right.March 23 20082008-03-23May 06 20162016-05-06December 25 20072007-12-25A photograph of a padapuja-style ritual indoors, with rose petals scattered on a white cloth-covered seat. A figure in a saffron-orange robe and matching orange turban, with long dark hair and bare chest visible, sits and smiles while holding a silver bowl of flower petals. A man in a white kurta, with grey hair and a rudraksha mala around his neck, kneels close to the seated figure's arm. Behind them, standing devotees in white and a woman in a pastel floral sari look on, and a yellow sunflower lies in the lower left corner. The seated figure shows distinctive long hair, saffron turban and rudraksha-style cues, consistent with a person presence, though the appearance is only partly clear.
