Outdoor photo on a terracotta-coloured platform beside an ornate copper-clad pillar draped with a yellow and orange flower garland. A man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red forehead mark stands barefoot in a saffron-orange sleeveless wrap and dhoti, with a long black rudraksha mala around his neck and his hand holding the cloth at his hip. Beside him, a bald man in a white dhoti and shawl with red borders kneels and holds a gold tray. Palm trees and stone carvings are in the background against a bright sky. Probable Swamiji: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala are visible, but this is an appearance-based label only.

A barefoot man stands on an orange-painted stone platform outdoors, gathering his saffron-orange robe with one hand. He wears a long dark rudraksha mala, has long dark hair swept back, and a red mark on his forehead, and his gaze is lowered. Behind him are a flower garland draped on an ornate stone pillar, a grey stone figure, palm trees and a pale sky. A black metal grate sits in the foreground.2010-09-02September 02 20102010-09-02September 02 20102010-09-02 +1 copiesA photograph outdoors beneath tall coconut palms. A long-haired man in an orange saffron cloth draped over one shoulder, wearing a dark rudraksha mala and a red mark on his forehead, steps barefoot onto a black metal step beside an orange-coloured stone structure. Behind him, two bald men in white dhotis with maroon borders and gold necklaces stand nearby; the one on the right holds a silver tray with flowers and offerings and burns incense. Another person is partly visible at the far right edge. The setting suggests a temple or ritual site with sandy ground and greenery.2010-09-13September 02 20102010-09-02September 02 20102010-09-02Outdoor photo of a copper flagstaff being consecrated beside a small carved wooden shrine holding a gold deity murti garlanded with yellow and orange marigolds.

He stands at a silver tray and holds a white rope, looking downward. Beside him a shaved-headed man in white dhoti and shawl with a maroon border reaches toward the rope. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala are the qualifying cues for the man in orange, who is standing at the rope and tray in a ritual setting. Two white ropes hang in the frame, and a red cloth lies on the silver tray.2010-09-13December 23 20082008-12-23 +1 copiesOutdoor photo of a man in saffron-orange robes with a dark rudraksha mala around his neck, his long dark hair swept back, standing beside a tall copper-clad ritual pillar.
