A photo of a smiling woman with long dark hair, a red bindi and layered gold necklaces and a dark red blouse, with eyes closed, receiving blessings. Two devotees stand with their backs partly to the camera in white dhotis or saris with gold borders and red-and-cream shawls; each has a hand raised over her head in blessing. The background shows a glowing green and orange backdrop with leafy plants. The central figure's role is a devotee receiving blessings; her appearance does not establish a person identification.2014-12-30A photograph of a central figure with long dark hair and a red bindi, wearing a multi-strand gold and red-beaded necklace and dark garment, standing before a backdrop of green and orange painted scenery with a large tree trunk. Two devotees in white dhotis or saris with red-and-gold woven shawls stand with their backs to the camera, one resting a hand on the central figure's head and the other gesturing toward them with palms open, as in a blessing or paada pooja setting. Green plants and hanging vines frame the scene.2014-12-30December 30 20142014-12-30December 30 20142014-12-30A photograph of a woman with long dark hair and a red bindi stands centrally, smiling and gazing toward the viewer. She wears a red-and-gold ornamental blouse, a gold necklace and a rudraksha-style bead mala. Two women in white and cream saris with orange-red bordered shawls stand in front of her with their backs partly to the camera, one raising a hand toward her. Behind them is a warm yellow-and-green backdrop with potted plants and a tree trunk. No one in the scene is identified as a person by appearance cues here, and the scene is consistent with a paada pooja or darshan gathering.2014-12-30December 30 20142014-12-30December 30 20142014-12-30A smiling woman with long dark hair, a red bindi on her forehead, a maroon garment and a thick gold necklace of large beads with rudraksha-style beads stands in the centre of a stage with a painted backdrop in orange and green. In the foreground, two men with shaved heads in white dhotis with gold borders sit with their backs to the camera, one wearing a red-and-white garland. On the right, a woman in a red and gold saree raises her hands in greeting. Some stage decor is visible behind them.2014-12-30December 30 20142014-12-30June 22 20082008-06-22A photograph of a smiling person with long dark wavy hair and a red bindi, wearing a deep red top with a bare shoulder, a black skirt, a gold chain with a pendant, and layered gold ceremonial beaded necklaces. Two people in white dhoti-style garments with gold borders and red-orange shawls sit in the foreground, seen from behind, facing the central figure. The backdrop shows a painted green and orange scene with a tree trunk and green plants. The centre figure has a clear, ornate ceremonial presentation, but the face-based identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so the role is described as a seated devotee-facing figure at a darshan-style gathering.2014-12-30A photograph of a long-haired man with dreadlocks, wearing a bare-chested reddish-orange garment and a thick rudraksha mala across his shoulder, smiling as he embraces a person in white. He has white ash markings and a red bindi on his forehead, and wears a gold bracelet and beaded wrist threads. Behind him, women in cream and gold-bordered saris and gold necklaces stand in a red-carpeted hall, with a potted plant and an air cooler at left. Appearance-based candidate: a person, based on the long dreadlocks, rudraksha mala and orange garment, shown in person embracing a devotee.2016-05-11
