April 26 20182018-04-26 +1 copiesA photograph of a ceremonial initiation in progress. A seated man in a dark turban, rudraksha mala and red-orange robe sits closed-eyed before an ornate gold throne backrest, holding a small vessel of water with a green leaf. Beside him stands a younger man in orange cloth with white body markings, layered beaded necklaces and a dreadlocked topknot, holding a white and blue cloth-wrapped kalasha offering. A stone pillar frames the left edge. The scene suggests a vishesha deeksha initiation, with the seated figure appearing to be the probable Swamiji (probable) given the turban, rudraksha mala, red-orange robe and throne cues, and the standing man a devotee receiving the ritual.2018-04-11 +1 copiesApril 26 20182018-04-26 +1 copiesAugust 02 20162016-08-02May 24 20182018-05-24April 20 20182018-04-20October 01 20172017-10-01April 26 20182018-04-26 +1 copiesMay 29 20182018-05-29 +1 copiesOctober 15 20172017-10-15April 26 20182018-04-26 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated man in saffron-red robes on a red-cushioned silver throne, with a microphone on a stand beside him. He wears long dark dreadlocks, a white and vertical tilak on his forehead, layered rudraksha malas, a gold chain and gold ornaments, and gold earrings and bangles. He holds a bundle of sticks and a small item over a white cloth bowl. A second man in red-brown robes and a red-brown turban, bare-shouldered and wearing beaded necklaces, faces him from the left and holds the bowl. Behind them is a red and gold embroidered cloth panel. The dark background suggests a night-time ceremony. The seated man's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance; he is described by role only, with dreadlocks, rudraksha malas and gold ornaments as visible cues.2017-10-15
