He wears a dense gold and red-bead mala and a gold pendant. Beside him a man with a beard and orange shawl over a rudraksha mala holds a silver tray of white flowers. A cameraman films at left, and a gold ceremonial stand and an orange-and-pink banner appear at right. The scene is a satsang homa at the ashram.2015-07-18A photograph of a ceremonial exchange inside a decorated shrine tent. On the left, a person in an orange-red turban and bare shoulders, wearing a heavy gold necklace and a gold-bordered orange garment, extends their hand toward a younger man on the right. That man has dark wavy hair, a white dhoti with gold borders, a red shawl, a rudraksha mala and gold armlets, and holds a small pink object in his cupped palms. Behind them stand ornate silver-framed shrine structures with deity murti and brass oil lamps, and a red cloth draped over the seated figure's lap.2015-09-11A homa fire ritual in a temple-like hall. In the foreground a fire pit of bricks burns with bright flames, and a brass bowl sits near its edge. Two priests in white dhotis with gold borders stand at the fire: the one on the right, wearing a maroon and gold shawl, a red turban and gold necklaces, holds a leaf tray of yellow marigold garlands and flower petals; the younger priest beside him, bare-chested with a sandalwood tilak, pours from the tray. A third man in a white garment and gold necklace stands behind, with other devotees further back. A red floor, a metal lamp stand, and green banana leaves appear behind the fire.2018-04-14 +1 copiesSeptember 24 20172017-09-24 +2 copiesPhoto 11701233 +2 copiesOctober 18 20152015-10-18
