Photograph on a stage with a blue starry backdrop. A woman in an orange-saffron turban and matching orange draped shawl with gold border and rudraksha malas stands in profile, looking down, while a woman in white kurta with a red scarf ties or adjusts a band on her wrist. Rudraksha beads and gold jewellery are visible. A partly visible person in orange stands at the right edge. The page describes a Shiva Deeksha initiation, but the image itself shows only the wrist-binding gesture. Printed copyright text overlays the lower right.2018-05-20May 20 20182018-05-20September 19 20132013-09-19Indoor photograph in a hall with ceiling fans and barred windows. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a matching orange turban and long dark hair receives devotees; the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron robes and an orange head wrap, cues consistent with a person. A woman in a white sari with lavender floral print folds her hands in greeting, her head bowed, holding a red handbag. Beside her, two smiling women in white and yellow saris stand close, one wearing a rudraksha-style bead necklace. Men in white shirts and white trousers stand behind, with more people in white visible in the background.2006-12-15September 25 20162016-09-25A photograph of a ceremonial blessing inside a red-draped hall. A man in a red-orange cloth and a gold bead necklace with a white and red forehead mark touches the forehead of a young man with curly hair and a blue headband. The young man wears a white sleeveless top and raises both palms, while the blesser extends his right arm and holds a folded white paper in his left hand. A large gold cobra-hooded object and a silver staff entwined with a snake stand beside them, with a peacock-feather fan visible at the left edge and another partially visible person at the right edge. The blesser has a rudraksha bracelet on his wrist. The page names a person as present, but the blesser's appearance is not sufficiently distinctive to confirm his identity, so the role is described as the blesser.2014-07-27October 07 20172017-10-07A man seated on a red velvet chair before an ornate gold-embossed throne backrest, smiling and raising a gold-tipped ceremonial staff in his right hand.

Beside them a woman in a white kurta and white leggings stands with hands clasped. Another person in orange and red attire stands at right edge. A gold-and-cream ornate seat with leopard-print cushion is at left. The figure's appearance does not clearly establish a person, so identity is uncertain.2018-05-20March 18 20172017-03-18A smiling man in an orange saffron turban with a white and black forehead mark sits in front of a deep red velvet curtain and a large ornate gold relief panel. He wears a headset microphone, small gold hoop earrings, layered orange rudraksha-style beaded malas, a gold pendant on a black cord, and an orange saffron wrap draped over bare shoulders. The appearance and ceremonial saffron dress are consistent with a person depiction in an event setting; he is the only person visible. The gold panel behind him shows intricate embossed patterns.2013-02-26 +1 copies
