A bald man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala stands at a low wooden table piled with oranges and offerings, while a figure in a tall orange turban and orange-gold shawl, adorned with a white floral garland and gold bangles, sits at the right beside a large gold deity murti. Standing to the left, a man in white shirt and trousers, a woman in a beige sari with a veil, and a young girl in a pink dress watch with hands folded. Two more people in white kneel or stand near the table, and a camera operator is visible at the upper right. Several people in white and orange stand in the background.2015-05-27June 07 20152015-06-07A photograph of a ceremonial padapuja on a red-carpeted stage with a gold-carved throne. A seated figure in orange turban, orange robe and a long white-and-pink flower garland, with long dark hair, receives devotion. A man in a red-and-white checked shirt and dark trousers bends forward to touch the seated figure's feet, while another person holds a brass plate. Around them stand women in saris and kurtas, including a woman in white with a red-bordered sari, and others holding phones or cameras, with a video camera on a tripod behind. The seated figure is Swamiji (probable), identified by the turban, orange robes and garland.2016-04-29November 20 20142014-11-20April 29 20162016-04-29May 27 20152015-05-27A photograph of a bare-chested figure seated on the left, wearing an orange-and-peach turban, long swept-back dark hair, a gold ceremonial necklace and a white-and-red floral garland, with rudraksha beads and a wrist mala. He leans forward to receive apples and a golden flame-shaped object held by a standing devotee in a light striped shirt, who kneels at right beside a saffron-robed monk with a shaved head and gold necklace. Behind them a crowd of women in saris and salwar kameez and men watch, one woman holding a toddler in a white outfit, and a woman in a maroon sari seated beside the figure holds apples. Red carpet covers the floor. This appears to be a devotee-offering scene at a Kumbh Mela camp.2016-04-26
