A person in orange and saffron-toned clothing lies prostrate face-down on a stone floor, arms extended forward with palms pressed down, in a full-length prostration. The figure wears a wide beaded waist belt, orange bracelets, a gold and orange headpiece, a rudraksha-style mala and gold necklace, with long dark hair in a knot. A leopard-print and striped cloth lies beneath the body, and a black fringed cloth sits near the head. Behind, several people in orange robes and white dhotis stand barefoot. Scattered colourful powder marks the floor.2012-08-17August 17 20122012-08-17A photograph of a person in a full prostration on a stone floor, forehead and palms pressed to the ground. The figure wears orange-saffron robes with a darker red border and a gold-toned ornate necklace of large beads, and has hair tied in a topknot with a small gold hoop earring. Other people in orange and white garments stand blurred in the background, and a dark patterned mat lies beneath the prostrating figure.2012-09-12May 29 20132013-05-29A person in an orange garment with gold trim and gold-beaded ornaments bends forward and presses their forehead to the carved stone step of a temple threshold, one hand resting on the stone. Dark hair is tied in a top knot. Carved stone pillars with decorative relief form the background.2012-02-09A woman kneels on a stone floor with her head bowed and palms pressed together in namaskar at her chest, in prayer or reverence. She wears a rust-orange sari with thin gold borders and a heavy gold necklace of ball-shaped beads over her shoulders, with her dark hair gathered in a bun. Her back is turned to the camera and her face is hidden. Blurred figures in saris stand behind her, and scattered petals lie on the floor. The page links the event to a morning satsang on Bhagavad Gita chapter 6, but no a person candidate is visible, so no identification is made.2012-09-11 +1 copiesMarch 07 20132013-03-07June 04 20122012-06-04November 05 20132013-11-05A person in an orange-brown robe with a gold-bordered sash and a rudraksha-style beaded necklace bends forward, pressing their forehead onto a dark stone surface. Their dark hair is tied in a topknot with a red band. Incense sticks stand in a small metal holder at left, and yellow flowers and a dark stone object are visible nearby. A faint white marking is visible on the forehead. The appearance is consistent with a sannyasi in saffron-toned robes, but the face and identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.2013-11-05A person lies prostrate face-down on a stone floor marked with faded red, blue and green paint or powder, performing a full-body pranam-style prostration. The figure wears an orange-saffron garment with gold borders and a gold necklace of beads, with long dark hair gathered at the back. Hands are clasped beneath the forehead. Bare feet and the legs of standing onlookers in white and grey appear at the edges, and an ornate brass railing runs along the right side.2012-09-11 +1 copiesNovember 25 20112011-11-25 +1 copies
