January 01 20192019-01-01Long rows of saffron-robed sannyasis in orange turbans sit cross-legged on a white cloth runner along a polished floor, with green banana leaves laid before them holding yellow flowers, fruit and food offerings. Several sadhus have white sacred markings on their bodies and rudraksha malas around their necks. Behind them, seated devotees in white clothing watch from rows of chairs, and a man in a white dhoti stands at the right side near a camera tripod. A large screen and a gold-railed platform appear in the background. No single figure is identified as a person in this frame.2017-09-19January 01 20192019-01-01July 26 20142014-07-26 +1 copiesDecember 18 20162016-12-18A large hall where many devotees in orange robes and rudraksha malas sit cross-legged in long rows on the floor, many with hands pressed in anjali, before rows of leaf plates holding food and steel cups. A bearded figure in orange robes sits on an elevated seat at the upper right, above the crowd, and a screen shows another figure in white. Several people in white clothing sit on the right side among the devotees. Red curtains and framed pictures decorate the walls, and steel containers stand at the left.2019-01-01A large hall with a polished floor where many women in saffron and orange-red saris sit cross-legged on mats, most with rudraksha malas around their necks and white or red forehead markings. Several are seated in rows with brass puja plates, small offering trays and flower petals in front of them, some with hands folded in prayer and others holding items. Behind them, women in yellow, cream and green saris sit or stand near the walls, and a hanging banner stretches across the upper area. No central figure is clearly visible, and the scene appears to be a group devotional ritual with puja offerings.2019-05-18Indoor ritual gathering in a hall with a deep red feature wall and purple damask-patterned panels. A saffron-robed figure seated on a gold-and-red throne at the right, wearing a saffron turban and a red shawl, faces a large seated group on the floor. Rows of people in saffron and orange robes sit on the left and centre, while others in white clothes and red-orange shawls sit and stand along the back. A red patterned rug, brass bowls of food, metal dishes, a steel flask and leaf-plates are arranged in front. Several printed panels hang on the wall behind. The figure on the throne matches the page's description of a person only with a probable appearance cue of a saffron turban and ornate seating, so this is recorded as an appearance-based candidate.2015-10-23A seated communal meal in a hall where many people sit on a patterned mat eating from brass thalis and steel plates. Men and boys in saffron-orange cloth with rudraksha malas and forehead markings dominate the scene, some bare-chested. Women in white and green saris and a woman with a white headband also wear beaded malas and sit among them, eating or holding food. Brass vessels and small cups sit on banana leaves. Standing figures in white dhoti and cloth move among the seated group, and a tiled counter and white draped tables stand in the background. Many people are visible, indicating a large group meal.2019-01-01October 23 20152015-10-23July 03 20172017-07-03 +1 copiesA large hall with a golden-canopied seat at the far end, where a figure in saffron-orange robes sits before a low table with brass vessels and a kalasha. Around the central aisle, rows of seated participants face the seat: men in orange and red shawls and women in saffron and orange saris, some with garlands. Long striped runner cloths lead toward the seat, and banana-leaf plates with small oil lamps line both sides in front of the rows. Some men in white robes with red shawls stand near the seat and side aisles, and a golden tree-like decoration stands at the left beside display panels.2015-06-15
