Night photograph of six people standing in a line on bare dirt ground, performing a drum procession. Five drummers hold hand drums; the figure at far left wears a white dhoti with gold border and a white shawl, and the others wear saffron-orange garments with gold-bordered cloth, several with rudraksha malas. The second drummer from the right beats a large drum, and a sixth figure in the centre-back wears a dark garment with rudraksha beads. Dark background, scattered lights, and colourful string lights at the upper right edge.2015-11-16November 16 20152015-11-16November 11 20152015-11-11November 22 20152015-11-22Night photograph of four young men on a dark open ground near an illuminated temple structure with a golden facade and a string of multicoloured lights at right.

A dark wall stands in the background.2015-11-16November `4 2015 +2 copiesSeptember 21 20172017-09-21Night photograph of a drumming procession on sandy ground. Several men play large hand drums, each with a wooden stick, while walking together. The drummers wear saffron-orange cloths with gold borders and rudraksha malas, and some wear white cloths with gold borders; several have white tilak marks on their foreheads. A tall brass horn is raised at the left and dim lights and figures appear in the background. The scene reads as a temple festival procession rather than an identifiable event, and no Swamiji appearance is visible.2015-05-01September 28 20172017-09-28
