A saffron-robed man stands at left, and a sannyasi in orange robes with a tilak stands behind the bowing figure. A brass plate holding marigolds and flowers sits near the garland. Several onlookers in casual and white clothing stand in the background near a pale pink building. The bowing figure wears a long garland, gold ornaments and a rudraksha mala, and has his hair tied up with flowers.2014-01-20 +1 copiesOutdoor photograph of a ceremonial moment among saffron-robed sannyasis.

Behind them a woman in red-orange holds a silver tray of sliced apples and other offerings. Crowds in white and red-orange clothing stand around, a cameraman films and a photographer uses a flash, and a lamp stand is visible. The setting appears to be a ceremony at a temple or ashram, with a probable Swamiji wearing a turban, saffron-coloured dress, a garland and gold bangles blessing a devotee.2014-12-17Photograph of a temple scene where a bare-chested man with long, swept-back dark hair, a white forehead mark and white marks on his arms, wearing a rudraksha mala, a ceremonial gold necklace and a white flower garland over an orange-and-yellow shawl, extends his hand to bless a line of devotees who bow with folded palms and bent heads. Behind him, a priest in white ritual dhoti with gold border and a saffron-robed monk stand near a red-draped altar, arches and pillars frame the hall, and a small deity picture hangs in an arched niche.2012-05-21March 14 20142014-03-14June 03 20162016-06-03A photograph of a seated figure in a rust-orange robe with a long red and white flower garland and a gold-coloured necklace, placing a hand on the forehead of a standing man in a white shirt with an orange shawl, who has his palms pressed together in namaste. Behind them, several women in orange and saffron saris and white garments with orange sashes watch, some smiling, and a tray of sweets sits in the lower left. The seated figure has long swept-back dark hair and is a person by appearance cues: long hair, saffron robe, rudraksha-style garland and gold necklace, performing a blessing for a devotee.2013-05-28
