A smiling man with long, dark, swept-back hair sits in the foreground wearing a sleeveless saffron-orange robe, a heavy gold necklace of ornate beads and a rudraksha-style mala, and a red bindi on his forehead. Behind him, a crowd of onlookers stands and sits outdoors among green shrubs and dry earth. A young woman in a white top with a red-patterned border and a bindi laughs with her hand near her mouth, and another woman in glasses and white clothes smiles beside her. On the left, a man in a checked shirt and a figure in white stand nearby, and a golden staff with a topped finial is held upright at the top of the frame. The probable Swamiji cues are the long hair, saffron robe and ornate gold necklace, shown in a festival crowd setting.2008-12-31August 18 20162016-08-18November 27 20172017-11-27December 13 20112011-12-13August 13 20162016-08-13A large outdoor gathering of devotees in orange and saffron robes sits closely packed on the ground under trees. Many wear rudraksha malas, and several women have long dreadlock-style hair and white or cream garments. A broadcast camera on a tripod stands centre-left, and a standing man in a maroon shirt holds a phone or camera near the trees at the top. A few people stand with arms folded at the left edge, and a copper pot sits on a small table in the background.2018-05-24 +1 copiesDecember 05 20162016-12-05 +1 copiesA seated gathering of many young boys and a few men in an ashram hall during a puja.

Behind him a teenage boy in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas sits upright, while younger boys in orange and gold-bordered dhotis and white sacred ash marks on their foreheads sit around them. At right, a man in white with a red tilak and rudraksha mala holds his hands in namaskar. The crowd behind is visibly larger, with many boys in white, orange and red clothing, and the setting appears to be a formal ritual gathering.2015-06-03August 13 20162016-08-13August 18 20162016-08-18Outdoor youth gathering under a white canopy with a man seated at centre on a striped tiger-print cloth. He wears a saffron-orange robe with a gold-trimmed shawl, a long rudraksha mala with gold beads, bead bracelets and a headset microphone, and has long swept-back dark hair. Around him, children in maroon uniforms with yellow trim and a teenager in a red shirt sit and stand closely, smiling. Several girls wear maroon dresses, and a girl at lower right has a white hair clip.
