December 19 20112011-12-19Indoor scene in a plain cream-walled room with a ceiling fan. Three people in orange saffron robes stand near a wooden chair and a small table with a black electronic device. The figure at right wears a yellow and red flower garland with green leaves and orange robes with gold borders, and holds something small in hands. In the center a person in orange wraps a cloth over the shoulder of another. At left, a shaved-headed man in orange wears wooden rudraksha-style beads and stands with hands folded. A seated older man in white shirt and a zebra-print sofa sit at right edge. Appears to be a ritual preparation in an ashram setting.2011-12-19December 19 20112011-12-19 +1 copiesA photograph of a room with cream walls, wooden chairs with red cushions and a zebra-print sofa. Two women in orange saris stand with their backs to the camera; the one on the right wears a long garland of yellow and red flowers draped over her shoulders and bangles on her wrist, and both are placing hands on a wooden chair and offering the garland. Behind them a man in a white shirt and white dhoti, with a tilak on his forehead and hair tied up, stands near a speaker. An older man in a white shirt and dhoti stands at the left edge. The scene appears to be a garland offering or puja-style honouring in a small hall; no a person candidate is visible.2011-12-19Indoor photo in a plain cream-walled hall with red-framed windows, blue stacking chairs and a striped mat. A bald-headed man in an orange dhoti and shawl, with white vibhuti on his forehead and a white sacred thread, holds up a large garland of yellow and red marigolds with a leafy top. Beside him a figure in orange robes with gold borders and gold bangles holds the garland's end. A third man stands behind them and more people are seen in the background.2011-12-19A photograph inside a plain mint-green room with a wooden door frame. A bald monk in saffron robes bows forward while a man in a dark maroon robe with marigold and white flower garlands holds an orange shawl draped over the bowing monk's head and shoulders. The standing man smiles and wears a rudraksha mala. Behind them a man in white clothes with a beaded necklace and a woman in a maroon sari with a red bindi watch. Other people stand near the doorway, and a red-striped cushion sits on the bench at right.2014-05-23December 19 20112011-12-19A woman in a rust-red blouse and leopard-print wrap bends forward at the head while an older man in a pale peach-orange robe with an orange shawl places a garland of pink, white and yellow flowers over her head. Another man in an orange-brown kurta holds a pink flower garland at the right edge. The setting is a living room with a striped cushioned sofa, white cushions, sheer curtains and a framed picture on the wall. The older man has a shaved head with a pulled-back tuft, glasses and a red forehead mark, and wears a gold wristwatch. The garlanding is a welcome gesture of honour. a person identity is not established from appearance.2014-04-06A photograph of a ceremonial garlanding inside an arched, cream-coloured hall with blue doors and a painted deity panel behind. A person in an orange-saffron shawl, with head fully covered, lifts a white and pink flower garland over the head of a bare-chested man in rust-red dhoti and shawl, wearing a gold-toned neck ornament and a beaded mala. Another man in white stands at left, a figure in yellow and orange stands at right, and a seated man is partly visible at lower right. A brass tray with flowers and fruit sits at lower left. a person-candidate cues are insufficient here; the garlanded figure and garlander are described by role and clothing only.2012-05-08A photograph in a bright room with cream walls, green curtains and an orange upholstered armchair with cushion. A woman in an orange sari with a white and red garland stands at left, leaning forward with hands together. In the foreground, a person in a long orange robe with maroon border, long dark hair, faces away from the camera, and beside them a woman in white with a gold-bordered sari bows her head. On the left a small table holds flowers, a water bottle, a bell and ritual items. Plain floor with a white cloth spread on it.2010-01-10April 06 20142014-04-06July 28 20082008-07-28
