A photograph of an ashram food offering. In the centre, a person in a brown and gold sari with a brown turban, heavy gold necklaces, gold bangles and a jewelled headpiece serves rice from a banana leaf with both hands, beside a gold armlet. To the left, a bald man in saffron robes with rudraksha malas serves from a steel plate. Behind them, saffron-clad devotees and a smiling woman in a dark-red sari stand near a red box, with other people in the background.2013-11-02Outdoor procession scene with a central man in a red-orange turban with a red tilak mark on his forehead, bare-chested under a saffron-red shawl, wearing a long gold necklace, a rudraksha mala draped across his chest, gold armlets and bracelets. He stands with palms pressed together in namaste, gazing upward with a serene expression. Behind him a man in a shaved head with white and red forehead markings, a red-orange shawl and rudraksha beads stands beside a line of people in orange and saffron clothing, some with hands folded. A blurred deity murti decorated with garlands appears in the background among green palms and trees.2015-11-16Two men in saffron and orange robes walk through a crowded hall, with an audience visible behind them. The man on the left is bald with glasses, wearing a long orange shawl and multiple rudraksha malas, and holds a white booklet. The man in the centre has long, swept-back dark hair, a red-brown wrap, layered rudraksha malas and a gold ceremonial necklace, with a red bindi and tilak on his forehead, and he is smiling with eyes lowered. Seated and standing devotees, including a woman with light hair, fill the foreground and background. Swamiji (probable) is the centre man, given his long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and ornate gold necklace, walking as a dignified speaker or guest.2015-12-20November 02 20132013-11-02May 16 20122012-05-16August 02 20132013-08-02A smiling bearded man in a rust-orange turban with gold jewelled ornaments sits on a gold-ornate throne, wearing layered gold beaded necklaces, a large gold pendant and an orange-brown shawl over the shoulder. Behind him, two men in white dhotis with gold borders and rudraksha malas stand near a brass oil lamp and a gold-decorated seat, one with white ash markings on the forehead. A red velvet cushion and a gold-carved backdrop fill the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears a turban, ornate gold necklaces and orange-saffron clothing on a throne, seated in the position of honour. The two standing men appear to be priests or attendants. Other visible elements are a brass oil lamp and gold ritual objects in a temple-style setting.2016-10-29September 16 20132013-09-16April 18 20162016-04-18A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with carved floral backrest, wearing a red-orange turban with gold trim, a red-orange robe with gold edging, layered beaded necklaces, a large gold pendant and rudraksha beads, and a bangle on the upper arm. A small red tilak marks the forehead and the eyes are lowered as he smiles. Beside him a second seated figure in red-orange robes and gold necklace sits near a gold pillar and tall gold oil lamp. In the foreground a man in a white dhoti and white head cloth leans forward toward the throne. A woman in white with a brown beaded garland stands at the upper right, and a tall gold staff rises in the centre. Dark red drapery forms the background. The figure on the throne has distinctive long swept-back hair and ceremonial gold and rudraksha adornment, consistent with the page's a person reference, but this is an appearance-based judgement only.2015-08-07October 16 20152015-10-16August 02 20132013-08-02
