June 10 20172017-06-10Photograph of a ritual in an indoor hall with a fire pit. A bearded man in a rust-red dhoti and wrap, wearing a white and pink jasmine garland, a gold chain and a red thread on his wrist, stands barefoot with palms pressed together at his forehead. Beside him, a younger man in orange robes and a rudraksha-style necklace holds a brass tray, with white ash stripes on his arms. A lit fire rises from a flower-ringed platform in front, and behind them stands a Shiva lingam with a silver-and-blue cover, garlanded with flowers, in front of an ornate gold throne-like backdrop with a trident. Two people are visible, and a fan and deity figure appear at the edges.2017-06-10September 28 20142014-09-28March 02 20132013-03-02 +1 copiesMay 28 20132013-05-28 +1 copiesA seated man with long dark hair wears a red bindi, an orange saffron shawl draped over his shoulder and torso, and a long strand of dark rudraksha beads. He sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet seat and backrest, a microphone on a stand beside him, and a bare foot resting near pink and white flower offerings at the base of the dais. Golden carved floral motifs fill the background. Appearance cues (long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala, and throne) are consistent with the page's identification, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) seated in person while speaking at a satsang.2010-10-26 +1 copiesMarch 08 20132013-03-08October 27 20142014-10-27A ritual puja in progress on a floor mat. A young priest with a shaved head, white dhoti and white upper cloth, with white sacred ash markings on his chest and arm, sits at a microphone holding a book and gesturing toward a brass oil lamp with a flame. Beside him an older priest in a white dhoti with gold border and bead necklace rings a handbell and tends a brass vessel. Brass plates, a silver lamp stand, copper pots, flowers and a yellow cloth surround the offerings on the mat, and carved stone panels rise behind them.2012-02-09January 02 20162016-01-02A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits before an ornate gold throne with a red velvet cushion, pressing his palms together in anjali namaskar with a gentle smile.
