He wears a long rudraksha mala, a red bindi and a white horizontal tilak on his forehead, and a small framed pendant hangs at his chest. A printed sheet rests on his lap. Around him, boys and men with white forehead markings and orange or dark clothing are seated in a satsang or ritual assembly, some also with hands raised. The setting is a crowded hall with a blurred background of devotees. The man's appearance is a shaved-head monastic in saffron robes with rudraksha, but no distinctive a person cues such as long hair or crown are visible, so identity is uncertain; he is described by role as a monastic priest.2013-03-03A young male devotee in orange and maroon sannyasi-style robes sits at the centre with his palms pressed together at chest level, holding a small white flower between his fingers. He wears a rudraksha mala with a brown bead necklace, a dark wristwatch, and a white horizontal tilak across his forehead. Behind him, other devotees with white forehead markings and orange-maroon robes sit in a seated congregation; one nearby holds a lit oil lamp. The setting is a hall with red chairs and soft blurred background. No a person candidate is clearly visible in the frame.2013-05-03A group of young boys and teenagers in saffron-orange robes sit cross-legged on a white floor covered with a red mat, performing a ritual with raised hands. Several have white vertical tilak marks on their foreheads and wooden rudraksha mala beads around their necks. Some wear orange dhotis and others wear plain white dhotis with gold borders. Brass lamps and offering bowls sit in front of them, and a small brass vessel is visible at the lower right. Behind them, adults in white and red clothing also take part, and red-cushioned seating is visible in the background. The image shows a group ritual chanting or puja in an indoor hall.2014-10-13A shaved-headed man in a saffron-orange garment sits with eyes closed and palms raised outward, mouth open as if chanting. He wears a long multi-strand rudraksha mala with large brown beads and an orange sash over one shoulder, a red bindi on his forehead, and a rudraksha bracelet on his wrist. Someone in the background wears an orange-red shawl. The man appears to be a person given the saffron clothing, long rudraksha mala and orange sash, but this is an appearance-based label only.2013-05-31March 17 20132013-03-17Close photo of a shaven-headed young sannyasi in saffron-orange robes with a maroon shoulder cloth, speaking with both palms raised before him in an animated teaching gesture. He wears a white horizontal band across his forehead with a red bindi, a white marking on his throat, multiple strands of rudraksha beads with silver spacers, and rudraksha bracelets on his wrists. Blurred figures in orange and white sit behind him in a satsang gathering. The white forehead band and rudraksha malas are visible but he lacks the long hair, crown or ornate gold cues needed for an appearance-based identification, so the a person field is unsure.2013-04-10 +1 copiesClose photo of a young shaved-headed boy in saffron-orange robes with a dark red trilined stripe and red bindi, raising both palms forward in a devotional gesture while speaking.
