December 17 20142014-12-17December 17 20142014-12-17February 05 20152015-02-05Outdoor temple-style procession beneath a large banyan tree with leafy branches overhead. A bearded man with long swept-back hair, a tilak on his forehead, a red-brown saffron-toned wrap, layered gold necklaces with pendants, a white and red flower garland, and gold armbands walks forward with a smile. Around him, men in orange and white dhotis hold brass plates and flower offerings, and a young woman in a gold-bordered cream sari stands nearby. Bare-chested devotees with rudraksha malas press their palms together at right. The Swamiji (probable) cues here are the long swept-back hair, saffron-toned clothing and ceremonial gold necklaces, consistent with the page's claim.2016-12-23Outdoor photograph of a procession along a narrow dirt path lined with trees, shrubs and yellow flowers. Behind him, two men in white dhotis and shawls carry ritual items: one holds a small brass vessel and the other, in orange, carries a tray of offerings. The setting is a garden with palms and a sunlit background.2011-12-12Outdoor photo beneath a large banyan tree with hanging aerial roots. A man with long dark hair, a white forehead marking, a red-and-orange shawl and layered gold necklaces walks barefoot along a woven straw mat, wearing a red-orange garland and carrying a silver tray. Around him, saffron-clad men with white tilaka and beads stand with hands folded, and several women in red and pink saris press palms together in namaskar. A small golden deity murti and a red-painted shrine block sit at the right edge, with a patterned blue rug on the ground. Swamiji (probable): the walking man wears a long dark-haired presentation with ornate gold necklaces and a garland, consistent with the page's reference to the event.2013-03-10July 19 20162016-07-19Outdoor photograph beside a large banyan tree with dense aerial roots. A man in a maroon-brown dhoti-style garment and a bare-chested stance wears a long multicolour flower garland of red, white, yellow and green blooms, plus a gold pendant and beaded necklaces, and has white tilak on his forehead. Two attendants in orange-saffron robes stand nearby; one at left holds a tray of flower petals and green leaves. Stone pavers and a low red-painted platform surround the tree.2017-09-02Outdoor temple procession beneath a large banyan tree with hanging aerial roots. On the right, a man in a rust-red silk dhoti and shawl with gold borders, wearing a long red-and-white flower garland, a layered rudraksha mala and a gold pendant, walks forward carrying a brass plate of offerings. Behind him, a line of devotees in orange and maroon robes, some with rudraksha malas, follow. On the left, a young man in white kurta and a long-sleeved white garment holds a tall trident-topped staff, and women in white and maroon saris also carry staffs. Saffron and colourful ceremonial flags hang at the edges, and a red-draped shrine structure stands to the right of a red-painted stone platform. The scene suggests a temple ritual procession.2015-04-21December 11 20112011-12-11December 17 20142014-12-17Outdoor procession on a forest path shaded by tall trees and dense green undergrowth.
