February 24 20072007-02-24A man in profile wears an orange saffron shawl draped over one shoulder and a heavy gold bead necklace, with an orange-gold armlet on his upper arm. His long wavy black hair falls down his back, and his hand rests on a white cloth at the bottom right. Behind him, women in white saris with gold borders stand with palms pressed together in namaskar.2011-10-12December 28 20062006-12-28A man in profile stands in a temple setting against a red wall, wearing a draped orange saffron cloth over one shoulder and wearing long, dark, wavy hair with a red flower tucked near the back of the head. A small white tilak mark is on his forehead. Blurred brass vessels and a stone pillar sit in the foreground, with a plate of offerings at the bottom edge. A white-clad person is partly visible at the far left edge. The man is the only clearly visible person, and the overall appearance is consistent with the a person candidate described on the page, though the face is turned away and the cues are partial.2011-02-25Night-time temple abhishekam at a black stone Shivalinga. A man with long, swept-back dark hair, wearing orange saffron robes, a long gold-bead necklace and a shawl draped over his shoulder, pours water from a brass pot onto the linga, which is set on a dark yoni-peetha base. Water streams across yellow-dusted ground. Behind him a bearded man in orange robes stands watching, and a younger man in orange with a gold bead mala and a red tilak stands with palms joined. A white marble seated figure and a small gilded deity murti sit in the foreground, and a seated devotee in orange appears at the left edge. The appearance-based candidate matches Swamiji (probable) by his long hair, saffron robes and gold bead necklace.2010-02-12A man with long, swept-back curly dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead pours water from a brass vessel over a dark stone shivalinga during an abhishekam. He wears an orange sleeveless top with an orange shawl draped over his shoulders and a gold bead necklace of large round beads. Water splashes over the stone linga. To the left, a bearded man in orange robes stands partly visible, and another orange-clad figure appears at the right edge. Swamiji (probable): the man pouring water has long swept-back hair, orange ornate clothing and a gold necklace, consistent with the page's Swamiji reference.2010-02-12December 28 20062006-12-28A man with long, swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and white vibhuti marks, wearing an orange saffron shawl and sleeveless orange garment and a gold bead necklace, pours water from a brass kalasha over a dark stone linga during abhishekam. Water splashes over the linga and its peetha. Another saffron-robed man stands behind him, and a third person in orange stands at the right edge. Several orange-clad people are partly visible in the frame.2010-02-12A man with long, voluminous curly dark hair and an orange saffron garment draped over one shoulder pours water from a polished brass kalasha pot over a dark stone linga during an abhishekam. He wears a gold-beaded rudraksha-style mala and a red tilak on his forehead. A second person in orange clothing, partly visible, stands behind the linga with hands near the base. Water streams down the black linga onto a golden yoni-peetha base, and a brass vessel sits at the lower left. Warm lamp light fills the dim temple interior.2010-02-12A photograph taken at night of a man seated on a raised platform before a fire pit during a ritual. He wears an orange saffron turban, an orange robe and a long rudraksha mala, and is working with a bundle of orange cloth or fibre with both hands over a brass plate and a wooden pestle-like tool. A microphone stand is at left, and a lit oil lamp with yellow flower garlands sits at right. Two people in white clothes sit in the background and a carved wooden stand with a lotus-like pattern is visible at right. A flowing bamboo pole stands beside the fire pit.2004-07-02Close side-view photograph of a seated person in a saffron-orange garment with a thin gold border, long dark wavy hair falling over the shoulders, and a white horizontal tilak on the forehead. Behind them are a garland of marigolds and leaves, a small basket or tray with offerings, and a lavender cloth. The setting appears to be a devotional gathering in low light.2009-01-12June 04 20062006-06-04 +1 copies
