A man with long swept-back hair, wearing an orange-saffron robe and a green-leaf garland, smiles while a hand rests on the stone pillar. A large flower garland of white, red, yellow and purple blossoms is held up by a person in white in the foreground, while a kneeling person in white sits below. To the right, a standing man in a white dhoti with a rudraksha mala and gold border holds his hands in anjali.

A barefoot man in orange robes stands on a mat of flower petals, wearing a long multicolour flower garland, gazing toward the shrine. Behind him a monk in an orange hooded top and orange dhoti stands with hands joined, and a person in orange garments is partly visible at the right edge. The page excerpt does not establish who the standing man is, so no identity is attributed to him.2011-12-10Outdoor temple-courtyard scene with a stone shrine platform. A young man in orange robes wearing a long multicolour-flower garland stands barefoot, gesturing with an open hand while smiling. Beside him a kneeling man in orange clothes unfolds an orange cloth with a dark object on it. A standing man in orange with palms pressed together in greeting watches. On the left, a man in white dhoti-style clothes stands with his back partly turned.

Orange flags and a bright white light are visible in the background, with marigold flowers near the floor.2009-01-12A photograph of a ceremonial welcome in a room with a pale blue wall decorated with orange, purple and white flower garlands. An elderly bearded man with long white hair, bare-chested and wearing an orange dhoti with a green-bordered shawl, places a flower garland around the neck of a smiling seated man dressed in orange with a rudraksha mala and gold chain, who wears a tall decorative crown-like headpiece with flowers. The seated man holds a silver staff. Standing nearby are a man in white shirt and white dhoti with a rudraksha mala, a young man in orange robes holding a microphone, a uniformed official, and other onlookers in white shirts.

He wears a cream headwrap with a gold band and a rudraksha-style necklace with gold beads. Behind him, a bearded man in a yellow shawl holds a brass plate, and two men in white dhotis with orange shawls walk with a silver trident (trishul) carried by one of them. An orange cloth hangs on the right and a white building stands in the background. Swamiji appearance is probable from the cues of orange robes, long hair, headwrap, garland and gold ornaments.2009-12-25A photograph of a temple abhishekam scene. A smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi wears saffron-orange robes and a heavy ornate gold necklace with a pendant, and is seated and receiving reverence.

In front of him, a shaved-headed devotee in orange and cream robes with a red border bends forward to touch his feet. To the left, a small gold-crowned deity murti with jewelled ornaments stands beside a dark stone sculpture. A large brass lamp stand with a bowl sits at the right edge, and an ornate gold-framed doorway is behind them.2007-11-09February 11 20082008-02-11
