Photograph of a white temple entrance with carved wooden double doors held open, decorated with a green leaf garland and red-and-yellow patterned hangings. In the foreground a man with long dark hair, wearing a flowing saffron-orange robe and standing barefoot on grey stone steps, steps out of the doorway. Behind him, a man in a saffron-orange robe and a second man in white with a yellow shawl stand inside the threshold, and the bright sky and trees are visible through the opening.2010-02-04February 04 20102010-02-04A person in a sleeveless saffron-orange wrap descends white stone steps in a garden courtyard. Long dark hair falls past the shoulders and a small red mark is on the forehead; the head is bowed and one hand gathers the drape at the waist. Behind is a white temple gateway with carved wooden doors and a painted pillar, flanked by tall green palms and shrubs. Warm sunlight falls across the scene.2010-02-04August 03 20092009-08-03A man in saffron-orange draped robes walks across a polished dark floor inside a white temple hall, a rudraksha mala of beads around his neck. He wears a sleeveless orange garment with a red undershirt beneath and smiles while looking to the side. Behind him is a shrine niche framed by a painted colourful cloth with blue, red, green and yellow patterns, and a mango-leaf torana hangs above it. Inside the niche stands a deity murti with a gilded frame. A tall striped flag or umbrella-like banner stands to the right against the white wall, and a framed picture hangs on the wall.A photograph of a smiling man in an orange saffron robe and orange turban entering through a wooden doorway of a white-walled room. He wears a multi-strand rudraksha-style necklace with a gold pendant and a gold chain, and his feet are bare. Behind him in the doorway, people in white clothes stand near a window decorated with orange and white marigold garlands. A white-draped table and a small electrical panel are visible on the right wall, with a framed picture on the upper right. Floor tiles are light, and pink flower petals lie on the threshold.2007-02-06September 15 20112011-09-15September 19 20062006-09-19A barefoot man in an orange-saffron dhoti and wrap walks along a red carpet in a covered walkway, wearing a long orange-and-yellow marigold garland and a red tilak on his forehead. Flower bunches tied to the railings line the path, and bamboo mats lie on the floor. Colourful painted pillars with bird motifs and framed printed posters or photographs decorate the orange walls beside him.2010-10-18A photograph of an open temple courtyard with a red-and-white striped wall and a concrete floor. A barefoot man in an orange-saffron wrap and a red undergarment walks across the courtyard toward the right. Red cloth drapes hang on the left, with a red pillar and hanging yellow-and-white paper garlands above, and green trees and shrubs behind the wall.2009-07-08A barefoot man in a flowing saffron-orange garment walks down a whitewashed step beside a red metal gate with ornate scrollwork. He has long dark hair swept back, a red tilak on his forehead and a shawl draped across one shoulder, leaving the other arm bare. Green foliage and a tree fill the background behind the wall. The appearance matches the Swamiji (probable) cues of long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a tilak, but the image shows no name or caption on the figure itself.2009-12-05A photograph of a person in an orange saffron garment wrapped over the shoulders and draped to the feet, standing at the threshold of a white-walled doorway with a red-painted base and a red metal railing with ornate scrollwork. A small white forehead mark is visible, and long dark hair falls past the shoulders. Green foliage and pink flowering plants fill the background, with a yellow cloth hanging at the left edge. The figure is a single person, with the orange robe as the dominant colour.2009-12-05
