A smiling man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron robe, a white jasmine garland with red flower strands, and a red bindi, sits on a raised seat under a decorated pandal. Two devotees in white clothes prostrate with foreheads touching the stone ground in front of him, with marigold petals and flower garlands scattered nearby. Behind him, a deity murti is adorned with garlands, and colourful striped arches with peacock-like finials frame the scene. Silver offering plates with yellow flowers and brass lamps sit at the front.2006-12-26A smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi wears an orange saffron robe and a garland of white jasmine and pink flowers with yellow blossoms. A man in a white shirt bends forward to touch his feet while a woman in white with a nose ring and orange border smiles behind him. A red and orange banner with a golden urn-like emblem hangs in the background, and a gold wristwatch is visible at the right edge.2006-09-23A photograph of a procession on a dirt path beside a chain-link fence, with orange flags visible behind. A long-haired man in an orange saffron cloth and a long white garland with red flowers and a gold-bead mala stands at left, smiling, with his right hand raised near his side; the presentation cues include long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ornate gold-bead mala, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in person. Around him, devotees in white dhotis and white shirts with lanyards and rudraksha-style malas stand with hands folded in namaskar, one man bowing deeply. Another orange-robed figure stands at right edge and a person kneels at lower left. Yellow petals lie on the ground.2009-12-29December 26 20062006-12-26A standing man in saffron-orange robe with a white flower garland and long swept-back dark hair smiles as he pours from a hand-held vessel near a small shrine with a deity murti dressed with garlands. In the foreground, a man in white kneels prostrate on a patterned cloth beside a small flame and scattered flowers, while a man in a white shirt holding a silver pot stands at left. Marigold and orange garlands hang above a stone canopy with banana leaves nearby, and a kalasha-like pot sits on a stone base. The setting resembles an outdoor ritual at an ashram shrine.2007-02-15A photograph of a central figure in an orange robe with long, swept-back dark hair, wearing a multicolored and white flower garland and a gold pendant necklace, smiling and making a blessing gesture with raised palms. Two devotees in white garments kneel in front of him, and a group of people in white with orange shawls stand around, some with hands joined in namaste. On the right, a person holds an orange cloth and a silver-topped staff. The setting is an open-sided pavilion with a corrugated roof and a painted decorated pillar behind. The central figure has distinctive long hair, orange clothing and ceremonial gold adornments, consistent with a person; the page does not name him for this event. Count of visible people is about ten.2007-12-23November 11 20062006-11-11Outdoor photo of a seated man in saffron-orange robes and a saffron turban, wearing a multi-coloured flower garland of yellow and red blooms, smiling and resting his hand on a dark rock bed strewn with white flower petals. Beneath a colourful canopy strung with green, yellow, red, purple and orange bunting, a man in a white shirt with a saffron shawl and a rudraksha-style mala bends low to touch the seated man's feet. Several onlookers stand behind in white and light clothing, including a woman in a yellow sari and a boy in a checked shirt. The seated man is Swamiji (probable), identified by a saffron turban, long swept-back hair, a flower garland, saffron robes and a gold-bordered shawl, shown as a live person in the scene.2007-01-12January 22 20102010-01-22Outdoor photo of a seated figure in an orange-red robe with long dark hair and a white-and-pink flower garland draped over the shoulders, smiling and raising one hand. In front, a man in white ritual clothes and eyeglasses bends forward to place a garland of red and white flowers and green leaves on the seated figure. Several men in white shirts and dhotis stand behind, some with hands reaching toward the seated figure, and scattered flower petals lie on the ground. The figure's appearance shows several cues such as long swept hair and an orange-saffron robe, but the page does not indicate a person at this event, so this is a person being honoured rather than an identified candidate. Orange and white garlands and a floral-patterned cloth are visible at the lower right.2009-02-15July 12 20062006-07-12September 08 20112011-09-08
