A man in a white shirt with folded hands stands at left, a bearded man in a beige sweater watches behind, and a man in an orange robe holds a silver tray of offerings at lower right. Colourful woven hangings and a dark curtain fill the background.2011-02-16A photograph inside a pandal with white fabric canopy and orange-and-white decorative hangings. A man with long swept-back black hair and a red tilak wears an orange sleeveless garment with a long rudraksha mala and raises his right hand in blessing while holding a folded white paper. Beside him a shaved-headed priest in white dhoti holds a wooden tray with apples and brass items, and a silver plate with gold-coloured offerings sits in the foreground. An older man with grey hair and a yellow shawl stands with folded hands, and a young man in white shirt stands at left.

The blessing figure holds a folded white paper in his left hand and looks down. Behind them, several men in white dhotis and shirts stand watching, one holding a bead mala, and a gold-coloured ritual vessel is visible at the right edge. A partial red-and-yellow banner hangs at the top of the scene. Swamiji (probable): the saffron shawl, gold necklace and long swept-back hair mark him as the central figure giving a blessing; the setting suggests a darshan or blessing moment.2010-12-28A photograph of a devotional exchange at a ceremony. A man in a white shirt bows forward while a long-haired figure in a red shawl and rudraksha malas touches his head and hands him an item. The red-clad figure wears a pearl necklace and a gold pendant, with a red tilak on the forehead and red-beaded armbands. To the right, a shaved-headed attendant in an orange robe and beaded necklace holds a silver tray. Behind them, a white-robed man with gold chains and red and gold draped pillars and a blue canopy suggest a tent setting.2011-02-16November 20 20102010-11-20September 15 20122012-09-15March 31 20132013-03-31
