July 01 20132013-07-01June 17 20132013-06-17June 29 20132013-06-29A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange saffron garment with a long rudraksha mala draped across his chest, holding a small white card and reading it while standing in a hall. He wears a red bindi on his forehead and his hair is long and swept back, a distinctive cue for the a person candidate. To his left, a line of women and a girl in white and yellow clothing stand with palms pressed together or hands folded. One woman in a white top has a rudraksha mala. A young person in white with a pendant stands holding a silver plate with small orange and red items. Another person in orange and a man with a shaved head and white tilak stand behind. A silver tray with offerings is visible at the lower right, and orange and white banners hang from the ceiling in the background.2010-10-26A man in saffron-orange robes with a bare upper body and a long gold ceremonial necklace with large gold pendant stands at right, long dark hair swept back, a red tilak on his forehead, extending a small white paper or card to a woman. Around him, several devotees in orange and saffron saris with rudraksha malas wait by metal railings in a hall with a wall painting and a man in white kurta holding a blue folder. The room has ceiling lights and a relaxed gathering atmosphere. The orange-robed man has long swept-back hair and gold adornments, cues consistent with the page's claim, so this is a person appearance in a hall, distributing a paper or prasad to devotees.2013-06-26A photograph inside a hall with red-curtained windows, a stage backdrop and projection screens. A bare-chested man in a saffron-orange dhoti with a gold-coloured border and a dense gold bead necklace receives people at close range, holding a folded paper in one hand while another hand reaches toward a devotee. He has long hair pulled back and a yellow-and-red forehead mark, and wears gold bangles and an armband. Around him, devotees in white and cream clothes press their palms together in namaskar; a man in a white kurta wears a rudraksha mala, a woman in a white sari with teal border stands at left, and a small boy in a blue shirt stands below. Behind them, a saffron-clad priest with white forehead markings stands beside a row of white-clad attendees.2013-10-19July 08 20132013-07-08September 20 20122012-09-20A devotional scene inside a temple-like hall with hanging orange and multicoloured tassels and a small screen on the wall. A bare-chested man in saffron-orange cloth and layered gold beads and a long orange-beaded mala holds a sheet of paper and reads from it while facing a line of devotees. Forehead has white ash marks with a red dot. He appears to be a person by appearance cues of long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ornate gold necklace, but the attribution is uncertain. Standing beside him is a second bare-chested man in orange cloth. Before them, women and children stand with palms pressed together in namaste and watch attentively; one woman wears a white printed sari and another a red top with black shawl. A red-and-white ritual tray or offering lies in the lower right foreground.2013-04-03A man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl stands bare-chested in a bright hall, holding a sheet of paper and reading from it while devotees with palms pressed together stand before him. He wears a white vibhuti tripundra on his forehead with a red kumkum dot, layered rudraksha malas and a gold pendant, and a gold-coloured bowl or plate of offerings sits on a tray beside him. Around him women in red, white and orange saris and men in white stand in a line with hands folded in anjali. The person is a priest or sannyasi; no clear identification of the central figure can be made from appearance alone.2012-09-13A photograph of a man in a saffron-orange robe with a leopard-print shawl over his shoulders and a long rudraksha mala around his neck, standing with a small white card or paper in his hand and extending it toward a group of devotees. He has a red tilak mark on his forehead and long dark hair swept back. Several people stand with palms pressed together in namaste: a woman in white on the left, a woman in a green salwar kameez, and two young boys in light blue and white shirts. Behind them a priest in white dhoti with a white-and-red stole and a shaved head with white tilak stands near a white box. A right-edge figure in orange clothing is partly visible. Dark wall decor and a shadowy figure silhouette sit in the background. Swamiji (probable) is identified by the saffron robe, leopard shawl, rudraksha mala and long hair as the central figure distributing the card.2010-11-30September 02 20132013-09-02
