2010 - Photo AlbumA composite image pairing a large close-up on the left of a man with long dark hair, wearing an orange robe with a leopard-print shawl and a rudraksha-style necklace, with a photograph on the right of a seated congregation in white clothing with orange-robed priests in the foreground. Several orange-robed figures sit before brass oil lamps and offering trays, with a crowd of seated devotees in white behind them. The left figure's appearance matches the page's a person reference by hair, orange robe and ornaments, but the appearance is not certain enough for a firm identification.2010-12-05October 07 20102010-10-07November 05 20112011-11-05A photograph of a ritual scene in a temple-style hall. A central figure in saffron-orange robes and a long rudraksha mala stands with arms extended toward a tray of offerings. Behind and around him, several men in white dhotis and white shawls stand or sit, some with shaved heads, and one older man in white holds a brass plate. A gold-framed deity image and floral decorations appear at the upper right, with a warm, dim interior and a hanging light at top left.2010-10-26December 28 20112011-12-28A collage of two photographs. On the left, a man in saffron-orange robes wears a rudraksha mala, ceremonial gold necklace and a swept-back hairstyle with a tilak on his forehead, seated on an ornate gold throne and raising one hand in a blessing gesture. On the right, a large hall with a white canopy ceiling and colourful cylindrical pillars holds a long row of seated people in white dhotis and cloth, with brass plates and small offerings arranged before them, apparently a shared meal or annadan.November 02 20112011-11-02 +1 copiesDecember 28 20112011-12-28A photograph of a satsang or puja gathering on a white-floored hall. In the front, several people in saffron and orange robes sit cross-legged on orange cloth, one holding a small brass bowl or plate, others with brass vessels set before them. A standing figure with long dark hair and white clothing sits or stands at the left edge beside a golden-adorned figure, with garlands visible. Behind them, a row of men in white dhotis and shawls sits on the floor, several with shaved heads, watching the ritual. A cream wall and a garlanded backdrop frame the scene.2010-12-06A seated man with long swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange robe and multiple dark rudraksha mala beads, sitting on an ornate gold-trimmed red throne with cushions in a temple hall with orange and white striped walls. Beside him, a shaved-headed priest in white dhoti and shawl holds a small silver vessel while another person in white reaches toward a tray. Trays of flowers and fruit sit on small tables, and a bald head is visible in the foreground. This matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance profile: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and a throne, and the page links it to a morning satsang.2010-11-07November 21 20112011-11-21
