Photograph inside a large, bare warehouse-style hall with a corrugated metal roof and fluorescent tubes, the floor littered with sacks and debris. Four men walk in a line. The front figure in a rust-red dhoti-style wrap with gold-bordered cloth, a gold-bordered sash and a long beaded mala, a white forehead band, raises one hand to his head. Behind him a man in a rust-red wrap with gold borders and a rudraksha-style mala walks with a tilak. Two monks in saffron-orange robes and orange caps walk on the right; the nearer one holds a framed picture of deity figures. A bare-chested man in a white vest and checked lungi stands at left. A small ornate golden shrine or altar sits at the back right. a person candidate in saffron-clad rear figure is not clearly identifiable from appearance.2014-06-11A photograph of a workshop hall with bright ceiling lights and a tiled floor. Five men walk left to right. The man at right in a rust-red dhoti and shawl, with a white forehead mark, long hair, a rudraksha mala and a gold-coloured waist cord, is smiling and walking beside a saffron-clad sannyasi in an orange cloth and orange head-wrap. Another saffron-clad monk behind him holds a framed picture. A man in a white shirt and dark trousers walks at left. A worker seated at left sits near a yellow bucket, and wooden carts and tools are visible at the edges. The man at right has distinctive long hair and rudraksha cues, so he is a probable Swamiji; the rest are monks and staff.2014-06-11June 11 20142014-06-11May 21 20122012-05-21July 24 20122012-07-24June 11 20142014-06-11A barefoot procession moves through a dim temple corridor at night. A central man wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with gold trim, a long gold-beaded necklace, gold armbands, and a red tilak on his forehead; he appears to be the focus of the group. Around him, men in saffron robes wear rudraksha malas, and a man in a white kurta carries a tall ceremonial staff topped with an ornament. Others in white dhotis and light shirts walk alongside, some with rudraksha beads and tilak marks, while a man in a teal shirt with a mala follows at right. The stone floor and pillars suggest a temple interior.2012-04-11October 19 20132013-10-19A photograph of a group of saffron-robed men walking through a long, pillared temple corridor, with ornate colourful painted ceilings in the background.
