A photograph of an outdoor ritual at a Himalayan site. A person in saffron-orange robes and an orange cap kneels on a concrete ground, pouring liquid from a bronze vessel over a small gold-coloured deity murti group, with a yellow liquid pooling on the ground. Another saffron-clad figure stands at the upper left edge, partially visible, and a plastic container sits at the left. A grey wall forms the background. Several figures are partially visible, and the scene reads as an abhishekam offering.

A photograph of a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes and an orange cap kneeling on a stone floor at an outdoor ritual. He pours liquid from a small vessel over an ornate silver-coloured image or stand, while the floor is splashed with yellow liquid. Brass oil lamps, copper pots and a brass bowl sit in front, and a plastic jerrycan and water containers are visible behind. Two other people in orange and pink clothing sit at the left edge. The scene appears to be an abhishekam offering. Swamiji (probable): the kneeling man has long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a rudraksha mala, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji.2005-05-25A photograph of an outdoor abhishekam at a small shrine. A figure in saffron-orange robes with a matching orange head covering and long dark hair kneels on the ground, pouring milk from a copper vessel over a golden deity murti under an arched canopy. Milk and yellow liquid spill across the stone floor. Brass lamps and a brass bowl sit nearby, with a plastic container and a copper pot at the edge of the frame. Rudraksha beads hang on the saffron garments. The figure's appearance with long hair, orange clothing and rudraksha cues is consistent with Swamiji (probable), shown performing the ritual.2005-05-25A photograph of an outdoor ritual at a stone-walled site.
