March 08 20152015-03-08A seated man in saffron-orange robes and multiple rudraksha and crystal malas smiles broadly while an older man in a white shirt leans forward toward him, bowing or offering respect. The seated figure has a red bindi and sandalwood-style forehead marks and sits before a golden sculptural figure of deities, with green foliage and a fruit offering of oranges and other fruits at left. The setting appears to be a satsang-style ceremonial space with a garden-like backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the seated saffron-robed figure wears long swept-back hair, multiple rudraksha malas and a ceremonial bead garland, matching the page's noted presence of Swamiji at this event.2015-01-04 +1 copiesA photograph of an indoor devotional setting with a golden shrine backdrop, green foliage and a golden arched canopy framing a deity murti draped in red, orange and yellow garlands and gold necklaces. In the centre, a man in a red-orange robe with a red flower garland and white forehead marking sits and smiles while placing his right hand on the head of a devotee who bows low in an orange shirt. Beside them a woman in white bends forward, and a man on the left wears white with a rudraksha-style beaded mala and white body markings. Bananas and a tray with offerings lie on the ground, along with rocks and a green cloth. Several gold figures stand on the left. A reference to an ashram ritual, possibly padapuja or blessing, is shown through the seated figure's gesture and the offerings.2015-01-04April 26 20152015-04-26July 03 20122012-07-03July 03 20122012-07-03A seated man in a saffron-orange sleeveless robe and layered rudraksha malas with clear crystal beads smiles warmly toward a woman seen from behind, her blonde hair bound with a gold band and wearing a white top. His hair is swept back and a white vertical tilak marks his forehead. Behind him stands a golden seated figure and green leafy plants. At left, a man in white with a white forehead mark holds a brass tray of oranges, flowers and offerings, extending his hand toward the scene. The setting suggests a satsang or ritual exchange.2015-01-06A photograph of a long-haired man with swept-back hair and a dark red garment over his shoulder, his right hand raised toward the forehead of a smiling man in white with a red-and-saffron shawl and white vibhuti marks. Behind them, ornate gold necklaces and a gold-and-maroon altar drape hang beside a gold-framed panel and a green plant. Another man in white with a red shawl stands at right, and a person in white sits in the background. The scene suggests a blessing or darshan moment.2014-12-26December 26 20142014-12-26A photograph of a satsang on a flower-decorated stage. A man with long swept-back dark hair, an orange saffron robe draped over his shoulders and chest, a multi-strand rudraksha mala with large gold bead ornaments, and a red bindi sits on a golden throne backed by red, orange and white garlands, with a zebra-striped cushion beside him. He smiles broadly, wearing a headset microphone, and extends his arm toward a man kneeling at left. That man wears a white dhoti with a gold border, a rudraksha mala and a bare upper body, and holds an orange cloth bundle. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure, based on the long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and gold ornaments.2012-07-03A photograph of a seated man in a rust-brown robe with a green leaf garland and a rudraksha-style mala and gold pendant, smiling broadly as he places his hand on the head of a man in white ritual clothes with a white shawl bordered in red stripes. The seated man sits before a gold ornate throne with a red curtain behind it. A bronze-yellow staff stands at the left edge. A devotee in white folds his hand in respect.2017-04-02March 13 20152015-03-13
