A pale wall and window frame form the background.2012-09-13A photograph of two men in an indoor room with pale green walls and light striped curtains. On the left, a man with his hair tied in a topknot wears a saffron-orange cloth draped over his bare upper body and a long green-and-white flower garland, with a vertical tilak on his forehead, and holds a tray. On the right, a bearded man with a topknot and red-and-white beaded necklace, bare-chested with a white sacred thread, holds the other end of the tray with his hands. The tray appears to hold offerings. The page does not establish a visible crown, flowing hair or ornate ceremonial clothing for either man, so no appearance-based a person candidate is established.2008-04-06Two seated men in saffron-orange robes perform an aarti with lit oil lamps in brass dishes, their foreheads marked with white vibhuti stripes. The man on the left wears large rudraksha malas and a bracelet and holds his lamp toward the camera; the man on the right, wearing gold earrings and a rudraksha mala, lifts a lamp and a smoking incense stick. Behind them, young boys in red-orange cloth sit in rows, along with seated adults in white clothing and rows of red chairs in a hall with orange banners on the walls. The scene is a ritual gathering with lamps and incense.2013-11-26Three bald men in saffron-orange robes sit side by side on a floor during a group ceremony, each with white sacred ash stripes on forehead and upper arms. The man on the right wears a long rust-coloured rudraksha mala and a saffron cloth over one shoulder, with hands folded. The middle man sits with eyes closed and hands resting on his lap, wearing a dark rudraksha mala. The man on the left wears a long rudraksha mala, a bracelet and glasses, with a cloth at his waist. Behind them, seated devotees in white and red clothing, a child in red and a row of red curtains fill the hall. Brass vessels are visible at the lower left. No identity is established from appearance.2013-11-26A smiling man in a saffron-orange turban and matching orange robes stands indoors beside a white-clad priest.

In the foreground two shaved-headed men in saffron-orange robes and dark rudraksha malas sit cross-legged on a mat, both with white vibhuti bands on their foreheads and bare shoulders marked with white ash. The man on the right has his eyes closed and hands held together in front of him, seemingly chanting. Behind them, younger boys in red and orange robes with white forehead marks sit in rows, and a few adults in white clothing are visible further back. Brass vessels and plates of offerings lie on the floor in front, and red chairs line the background.2013-11-26A photograph of a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes with a maroon border, smiling as he holds a small white card or paper in one hand while gesturing with the other. He wears rudraksha mala necklaces, a red bead strand, a gold pendant, and gold armlets with red threads. Beside him, a bald man in orange robes holds a silver tray with small silver and gold items. Several people stand behind them, including a child in a white top at left.

A bald priest in orange assists with the tray.2011-02-11July 01 20072007-07-01September 10 20122012-09-10December 24 20132013-12-242003 World Tour - Bay Area USAAnnadhan in 20122012-01-01 +1 copies
