A photo taken from behind of a long-haired figure in a sleeveless orange robe seated on a riverside platform above fast-flowing white water. Beside them, a small deity murti in green and pink cloth with a gold crown and bead necklaces sits among a heap of orange marigold garlands. At left, a microphone on a stand and a person in orange and pink robes. At lower right, two people in orange clothing, one with hair tied back, are partly visible near the garlands. Rocks and green shrubs line the far bank.2008-07-03July 29 20072007-07-29A photograph taken beside a fast-flowing river with white rapids and grassy boulders behind. In the foreground a long-haired person in an orange sleeveless top sits with their back to the camera, next to an ornate gold-coloured object and a pink cloth, with marigold flowers placed at its base. A woman with reddish-brown hair in an orange top leans in and holds hands with them. A third person in orange, partly visible at the lower right, is seated nearby. A plastic water bottle and a blue cup sit on the left and right. The scene suggests a riverside ritual or blessing with marigold offerings.2008-07-03A seated man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron robe and a red bindi, sits on a leopard-print cushion in a wood-panelled hall. A kneeling devotee in orange robes with a red sash bends forward to his feet, and a woman in a white shawl and blue floral skirt, with a red-and-gold beaded mala around her neck, stands with her palms raised. Orange cloth folded on a low table, bottled water and a wooden throne with carved gilded arches sit in the background, with a microphone stand at right.2008-06-28January 11 20082008-01-11July 04 20132013-07-04July 07 20092009-07-07July 07 20092009-07-07A long-haired figure in an orange saffron garment and a rudraksha mala leans forward and presses one palm firmly onto the forehead of a man in a white kurta with an orange collar, who has his eyes closed and hands raised beside him. Two saffron-robed attendants with shaved heads and beaded malas sit behind, watching quietly. The setting is an indoor hall with pale walls, a red curtain and an exit sign. The gesture resembles a blessing or transmission during satsang or darshan.2012-10-09July 11 20122012-07-11July 03 20082008-07-03Outdoor wedding ceremony under a pavilion decorated with banana leaves and garlands of orange, yellow, purple and red flowers. A long-haired man in orange robes sits cross-legged on the left, hands resting on his knees, speaking near a microphone; the page indicates a person but he shows long swept-back hair and orange saffron robes, so his appearance is consistent yet uncertain. A bridegroom in a white shirt with a white flower garland sits beside a bride in an orange sari with a red blouse, red flower garland and a maang tikka, who holds a hand over a brass vessel with a small flame. Silver and brass ritual items sit on a white platform in front, with a deity murti and a figure in the background.2007-02-15
