July 07 20092009-07-07February 08 20172017-02-08Outdoor photo at an ashram-style grove with sandy ground and trees. A bearded elder in orange-saffron robes holds a staff and looks upward, flanked by several men in rust-brown dhotis with gold-bordered shawls and rudraksha malas. On the right, a man in a rust-brown gold-bordered garment gestures with an outstretched arm while holding a silver bowl. Behind them, a white-clad attendant and a golden deity murti stand near red flower offerings and a blue cloth. Five to seven people are visible in the foreground and middle ground. Two central figures show distinctive saffron and gold clothing with rudraksha, but appearance is uncertain, so the identity of the orange-robed elder is not asserted.2013-11-05Evening procession on a gravel path in front of a red-walled building with string lights and banana plants. At centre, a man in a rust-brown dhoti and shawl, wearing a large pink and white flower garland and an orange-tipped mala, walks barefoot beneath a silver ceremonial umbrella with fringed canopy, wearing orange slippers. Around him, men in saffron and orange robes with gold borders carry a brass tray and a decorated coconut bundle, and a man in white dhoti with gold border walks on the left. Several people wear rudraksha malas and tilaka marks, and a devotee on the far right has white ash markings. The scene reflects a pada yatra arrival with coconut offerings.2016-01-02January 02 20162016-01-02December 30 20072007-12-30January 11 20172017-01-11November 05 20132013-11-05January 11 20172017-01-11November 05 20132013-11-05Outdoor courtyard of a red-walled temple-style ashram with a tiled floor, a stone bench and a plant bed in the foreground.
