A photograph in a temple-style hall with a decorated shrine behind. A man in a white shirt with a red forehead mark holds a folded white paper and looks at it while speaking with a second man. The second man wears an orange-brown saffron wrap, long layered gold-coloured necklaces with a large ornate pendant, gold armlets and bangles, a red bindi, and has long swept-back dark hair; he appears to be Swamiji (probable), based on the long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and saffron clothing. A bearded man in a light patterned shirt stands behind, and a man in white dhoti with a sash stands at right. Flowers and gold decorations fill the shrine.2013-07-01A photograph of an indoor satsang or ritual gathering at an ashram hall. In the centre-right, a man with long swept-back black hair, a white forehead mark, an orange-saffron shawl and multiple gold necklaces and bangles stands holding a small yellow card. Appearance-based probable candidate for a person, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ornate gold necklaces; he is receiving an offering. In front, an older man in white clothes with a vertical white forehead mark holds a gold ceremonial object with chains and a flower. Other standing men, one in a green shirt and one in a pink striped shirt, watch. Behind is a large framed portrait of a turbaned figure with a vermilion-red background, flowers and a golden lamp stand. A shaven-headed young man in orange robes with a gold necklace stands nearby.2012-09-23A photograph of an indoor hall with pale walls and hanging orange and multicoloured banners. In the centre, a man in an orange saffron robe with a gold-bordered shawl and a white-and-gold garland stands with his head turned, gesturing with one hand toward a man in a white shirt and white dhoti who holds a blue paper. Beside them, a bald man in orange robes holds a white tray with gold items. Several men in white dhotis and shirts and orange-robed monastics stand around, one with a rudraksha mala, and a foreign-looking man in a white shirt stands at the back. A partially visible figure at the right holds a gold-coloured tray. The orange-robed man with the long swept-back hair and garland matches the page's Swamiji cues of saffron clothing, a ceremonial garland and long hair, so this is an appearance-based probable identification.2011-02-22A photograph of a man in a white shirt handing a printed blue-and-white paper to a figure in an orange-saffron cloth draped over the shoulders and bare chest, with multiple strands of gold beads and rudraksha-style necklaces, dark shoulder-length hair and a red bindi with white tilak. The figure is reading the paper and smiling. Behind them a shaved-headed man in white ritual cloth and another man in white shirt stand near maroon curtains, with a yellow tassel and a golden chair-like seat at the right edge. Swamiji (probable) is the figure in saffron with long hair, gold necklaces and bare chest; the white-shirted man is a devotee or attendant.2013-05-03April 14 20122012-04-14A photograph of a group of men gathered inside a temple hall with white arched colonnades. In the centre, a man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl wears a gold-beaded necklace, a braided head band, bracelets and white sacred ash marks on his forehead and arms, and he holds a small paper item while smiling. Beside him, two shaven-headed men in orange robes wear gold rudraksha-style malas. On the left, a man in a white shirt points at the paper, and a green-and-gold cloth is draped nearby. A wooden box with packets sits at the lower right. a person cues are weak, so this figure is described by role as a sannyasi-clad man receiving or examining a paper item.2012-05-17 +1 copiesA photograph of two men exchanging a folded paper at an indoor event.
