Outdoor photo of a seated gathering on a brick-paved courtyard during a Sadashivoham-era program. A standing man in a white dhoti and shawl edged with green and maroon borders, with white tilak on his forehead and hair tied up, leans forward toward the front row. A woman in a blue sari holds a brass tray of yellow offerings and reaches toward him, while other women in saris and salwars sit with hands folded, some wearing rudraksha malas and kumkum or vibhuti. Trees, a red pillar and a seated crowd fill the background. The standing man is an appearance-based candidate but the cues are insufficient, so he is described only as a man in ritual white clothes.2016-10-26October 26 20162016-10-26December 20 20152015-12-20 +1 copiesA large outdoor gathering under red and yellow canopies with gold fringe, where many devotees dressed mostly in white sit on a red mat and eat from plates while others walk between rows. A woman in white with glasses stands at left, a man in a white dhoti carries a plate, and a woman in white with a green-sleeved blouse stands center right. Several seated people wear lanyard badges, and bags and bottles lie on the mat. Yellow draped tents and greenery frame the scene. No a person candidate is clearly visible.2016-01-31May 03 20122012-05-03June 15 20152015-06-15 +3 copiesA seated figure on a red throne in a plain room receives a pada puja. The right-side figure, bare-chested with a red-orange cloth, long swept-back dark hair, a white jasmine and red flower garland, gold armbands and a silver staff-like rod, is seated on a red-upholstered chair; these appearance cues are distinctive but a face-based identification is not made, so the a person field is unsure. A seated man in a white sleeveless top with a rudraksha mala and orange-red shawl, and a shaved-headed young man in orange robes with a mala, sit on a striped colourful mat, handling flowers. A woman in a white sari with gold border and gold jewellery holds flower petals. Standing behind are men in white dhotis and orange robes, and onlookers including a woman in a blue sari and children.
