Outdoor photo of a long-haired man in orange-saffron robes with a red tilak on his forehead, smiling as he sits beside a microphone on a stand in front of a stone temple wall with gilded pillars. In the foreground, a second man in a pink-orange robe and red-trimmed shawl, wearing glasses and white forehead marks, reaches out to a brass tray heaped with red and yellow flowers. A silver ritual vessel sits at lower left, with white and pink flower garlands nearby. The long-haired man wears a gold chain and a gold bangle.2009-07-09July 09 20092009-07-09July 09 20092009-07-09Night-time ritual photograph under a white tent canopy at an outdoor puja site. A man with long dark hair, sandalwood-paste markings and a red bindi wears saffron-orange robes and a long gold-bead necklace, seated cross-legged and holding a round brass plate with both hands. A second seated man in orange robes with a similar necklace sits behind a low yellow-brick altar holding a small silver vessel. Fruit, bananas, incense sticks, flower-garlanded pots and marigold petals fill the foreground, with colourful striped and floral hangings on poles behind.2010-02-12A seated man with long, voluminous black hair wears an orange saffron robe draped over his shoulders and holds a brass plate containing a yellow turmeric-like mass and pink and white flower petals. He has a white tilak with a red bindi on his forehead and looks downward with a calm expression. A microphone stand is to his right, and behind him are a painted pillar with floral and geometric patterns and a brick wall under a bright sky. Probable Swamiji: the long swept-back hair, saffron robe and ceremonial tilak match the appearance cues, and he is the single person present, seated and performing an offering-related action with the flower plate.2007-02-15A seated man with long, shoulder-length dark wavy hair and a red bindi on his forehead wears a sleeveless saffron-orange wrap draped over his shoulders and an orange dhoti. He holds a handheld microphone in his right hand, speaking, with a small silver vessel and a wooden stand or tray in the foreground. Another person in orange clothing is partially visible at the left edge. The white background suggests an outdoor discourse setting. Swamiji (probable) is described by the page as present; the saffron wrap, long hair and microphone discourse setting are consistent with this candidate.2008-06-28September 30 20062006-09-30Outdoor ritual photo of two men in saffron-orange robes seated before a stone temple wall. The figure at centre has long, swept-back dark hair, a red bindi on his forehead, and a gold rudraksha-style mala with ceremonial gold beads on his chest; he looks down toward a brass tray of yellow flowers and a silver bowl of red and white petals. A microphone on a boom stand is positioned before him. The man on the left, with a shaved head, glasses, a white tilak and an orange turban-style wrap, reaches into the silver bowl, which suggests a puja or ritual offering in progress. Gold bangles are visible on the wrist.2009-07-09July 08 20102010-07-08A seated figure in saffron-orange robes holds a black microphone while speaking, sitting on an orange-draped chair with a zebra-print cushion. Long dark hair falls past the shoulders and a gold chain is visible at the neck. Beside them, a man in orange with a rudraksha mala and a bead necklace sits near a brass plate of white offerings. Behind them, a deity murti draped in orange with a yellow flower garland stands before a white temple wall, with a golden trident beside it. Several people in white and orange stand under a shaded pavilion, and a woman in a purple sari is among them. The figure's appearance with long swept hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial setting matches a person, seated and speaking.2008-12-24July 09 20092009-07-09July 09 20092009-07-09
