July 11 20102010-07-11Outdoor photo of a courtyard meditation at an ashram under palm trees. A central figure in orange robes sits cross-legged on a mat in front of a red stepped pedestal topped by a tall orange pillar garlanded with flowers, with a black stone deity murti seated on the pedestal. Around him, about a dozen seated devotees in white dhotis and yellow, orange and white garments sit in meditation on individual circular mats. Behind them stand dark stone sculptures of deities and figures on red-tagged bases, with palm and tropical foliage beyond. In the foreground a white stone platform holds a small stepped pyramid-shaped object with a kalasha-like finial. The central figure is an appearance-based candidate, with orange robes and a crowned-looking hairstyle, but the face and presentation are not distinct enough to confirm identity, so this is marked unsure.2010-09-20A photograph of an outdoor courtyard with a red-orange stepped shrine platform and a tall orange-and-gold pillar at its centre.
