A man in a long saffron-brown robe with a red and white flower garland, a white tilak on his forehead, and hands pressed in namaste stands at the centre. Around them are men in white shirts and dhotis, a bare-chested attendant with a sacred thread, and women and children in colourful salwar kameez watching from behind metal railings, one woman raising a phone.2018-03-05March 05 20182018-03-05March 05 20182018-03-05A photograph inside a temple shrine doorway with a yellow and blue canopy and red and white flower decorations. A central man in a maroon-brown robe with a long garland of red, yellow and white flowers stands with palms pressed together in namaste, a white tilak on his forehead and a rudraksha mala around his neck; he has long swept-back dark hair and may be a person, though the appearance is uncertain. A shaved-headed priest in a white dhoti with a beaded necklace bends forward at the flower-covered shrine. Around them devotees in white shirts and dhotis, one in orange, and women in blue and saree stand behind metal railings, several raising phones. Flower garlands with red roses and yellow marigolds lie in the foreground.2018-03-05Crowded interior of a temple with a yellow and blue decorated doorway and garlands. A bald man in white dhoti bends low before a figure in saffron-orange robes with a long flower garland of yellow and red blossoms draped over the shoulders, as a man in a white shirt places a garland on the head of a seated child. Devotees in white shirts and red-trimmed clothing press against steel railings, a woman in a green-and-gold top holds up a phone, and a brass plate holds a lit oil lamp with flowers, reflecting a darshan moment at a Hanuman temple visit.2018-03-05June 21 20142014-06-21 +1 copiesA photograph inside a temple-style hall at a Guru Purnima satsang.

Around them devotees in white saris and white clothes, many wearing red shawls, sit or kneel and reach toward the seat. A golden deity figure and decorated pillars frame the scene. Some faces are partially hidden by people in the foreground.2015-07-31December 23 20072007-12-23A crowded indoor hall with orange-painted walls and a corrugated roof. In the centre, a smiling man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange robe, a yellow flower garland and a rudraksha mala, and raises his hand in blessing toward a devotee in white shirt. Beside him, a priest in white dhoti with a shaved head holds a brass tray of offerings. Devotees in white, orange and saffron clothing press their palms together around them. Behind, framed photographs of a man in orange robes seated in meditation hang on the wall, and a colourful decorated pillar stands nearby. The scene suggests a darshan with blessings.
