In the centre, a woman in an orange sari with long dark hair and a gold necklace stands with palms pressed together in prayer, facing up. Behind and beside her, men in white dhotis and women in white saris with gold borders stand with hands folded. To the left, a large orange-and-gold cloth covered with long strands of white flower garlands. A yellow and red flag with a bird emblem hangs on the right. A photographer with a camera stands among the attendees.2006-07-17A photograph of an outdoor ritual under a corrugated roof. A bare-chested man with long dark hair, wearing a rust-red dhoti, a long red-and-white flower garland and a gold pendant, stands at the edge of a stone fire pit with hands folded in namaste. A man in a long rust-red robe and a rudraksha-style mala holds a tall ceremonial parasol. Around them, many devotees in orange and saffron robes, a woman in a purple sari, and a woman in white stand with folded hands; some carry brass plates with flowers and offerings. Colourful decorated umbrellas and fringed banners frame the scene. The man with the long hair and gold pendant matches the page's Swamiji (probable) cues of long hair, ornate clothing and mala, and is shown as the central figure receiving honour during the procession-style ritual.2016-08-27A photograph of a man in a rust-red saffron-toned robe standing barefoot on a stone platform with palms pressed together in namaste, eyes lowered. He wears a thick multi-strand rudraksha mala, a large gold pendant, and a long garland of red and white flowers hanging to his knees. Behind him, dozens of people in white dhotis and shirts, some holding a staff and an orange umbrella, stand among palm trees near a red structure.
