A woman in a red and gold sari with a bindi and rudraksha-style beads sits on the left, reaching out to clasp the hands of a man in a brown silk kurta and white dhoti who bows toward her. Behind them stand women in white saris with red garlands and a woman in orange robes, plus a golden horse figure. A white air conditioner and red-and-white latticed screen frame the scene.2014-08-27A photograph inside a covered workshop-like hall during a temple-style ritual. A seated woman in a rust-red garment with a red shawl and gold-bordered skirt sits on a wooden platform before a row of gold brass ritual objects laid on a white cloth, with a kneeling devotee in white clothes in front. Around her, several people in white dhotis and shirts and others in saffron and orange robes stand with hands folded in prayer. A large gold-painted nandi bull stands behind them, a gilded temple-shaped canopy and wooden palanquin-like structure sit in the middle, and gold deity murtis with flower petals on the floor are in the foreground. Two white ceramic-style cows and gold objects line the back wall.2014-08-06A photograph in a room with gold-finished ceremonial furniture and a gold throne. A long-haired man in an orange-brown unstitched cloth and a brown rudraksha-style mala stands at left, extending his hand. A man in a white shirt and black trousers, wearing glasses, bends forward to touch or take his hand. Behind them, a gold chair with a red cushion holds a seated man with long hair, orange forehead marking and an orange garment. Two gold canopies topped with ornaments flank the scene, with colourful tassels in red, green and yellow hanging from them. A leopard-print cloth lies at the left edge. Two people are clearly visible; the standing figure at left is an appearance-based a person candidate, with long swept-back hair, an orange cloth and a mala, but the page does not state he is present, so his identity is uncertain.2016-05-07May 09 20122012-05-09Photograph inside a gilded hall with marble-panelled walls and ornate golden thrones carved with lions and deity figures. A seated man in saffron-orange cloth wrapped over his shoulders, with a rudraksha headband, a small gold earring and a swept-back bun, smiles toward a younger devotee kneeling at left in a white shirt with a yellow-edged cloth and a rudraksha mala, whose palms are pressed together in anjali. The seated man rests his hand on a silver railing and sits beside a golden lion-form throne armrest. Two physical people are visible. The seated man is an appearance-based a person candidate, identified by his saffron cloth, rudraksha headband, bun and ornate gold-throne setting, though his face is not used for identification.2012-07-23May 03 20162016-05-03A photograph of a seated man in an orange turban, orange shawl and a long rudraksha-style brown bead mala, with long dark hair swept back, gently reaching out to bless a standing man in a white shirt and orange shawl who bows forward with his hands together. Behind them a standing man in white with a gold necklace watches, and gold-tiered decorative pieces and a red carpet fill the room, with a golden chair in the foreground.2016-05-02A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and gold necklace, long dark hair swept back and white tilak marks, hands a small object to a smiling older man in a cream shirt who reaches forward with both hands. A second man in a checked shirt leans in beside him. Behind them, gold ornate thrones are visible, and an older bald man in white with rudraksha beads sits in the background. A small silver bowl sits at lower left. The seated central figure's distinctive saffron robes, long swept-back hair and ceremonial beads match the Swamiji (probable) cues.2012-05-20 +2 copiesMay 09 20122012-05-09
