Behind him, a golden ornamental structure is raised on a pole, and blurred figures in matching maroon garments and white dhotis move along in the background.2013-10-12A smiling woman with a red bindi stands outdoors at night, wrapped in a loose orange-red shawl that covers her head and shoulders. Behind her, lit shop fronts and dim buildings line a dirt ground, and a tall wooden staff or pole with a person in dark clothing is visible at the right edge. The setting appears to be a temple-town street after dark. Her role is not identifiable from the scene, and no ritual activity is visible.2013-10-12September 16 20152015-09-16 +1 copiesNight procession scene on a paved road.

He wears a thick orange-beaded garland and a gold bead necklace, and holds a pale peach towel at his side. Behind him to the left is an ornate dark wooden chair and a silver vase. To the right, a second person in maroon and orange robes with a dark bead necklace stands partially visible. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron-maroon ceremonial dress, rudraksha-style beads and gold necklace are the distinguishing cues for the central figure.2013-04-03November 25 20142014-11-25Night photograph of a smiling person standing on a dirt path, wearing a rust-red turban, a rust-red cloth wrapped around the body with gold bands, multiple strands of brown rudraksha beads, a large gold pendant, and a white and red-flowered garland over the shoulders. They hold a tall silver trident with one hand and rest the other hand on the hip. Strings of multicoloured lights and dark trees form the background, with two people in light clothing partly visible at the right edge. a person: the figure shows the rudraksha malas, gold ornaments and saffron-toned robes associated with the page's described event, but the appearance is not conclusive.2015-11-19A man stands on a stage in front of a painted backdrop of a forest scene with trees, ferns and a deer, and a deity figure with a raised hand at left. He wears a rust-orange unstitched wrap with a gold-bordered hem, a rust-orange and gold-threaded beaded mala around his neck, a red and white wristband, and a white tilak on his forehead. His long black hair falls down his back, and a small microphone is clipped near his face as he smiles and gestures with one hand. A green fern is visible at lower right and a wooden stand with a striped cloth at lower left. The page describes a discourse on the Kena Upanishad, and the appearance matches the Swamiji cues of long hair, rudraksha-style mala and saffron clothing.2016-02-04 +1 copies
