The foreground men wear saffron-orange robes with gold borders, rudraksha malas and bangles, and one has a white shirt-like wrap. Behind them, others in white dhotis sit in rows with people in the background, and small brass vessels and offering dishes rest on the floor mats. Two foreground men are bare-chested with sandalwood markings. Visible people appear as devotees rather than a clearly identifiable a person, so no candidate is confirmed.2013-02-02Devotees sit cross-legged on a polished floor in a bright hall, hands pressed in anjali and eyes closed in prayer. In the foreground, two shaven-headed men in rust-orange cloth wrap their shoulders, with white horizontal tilaka on their foreheads and arms, and rudraksha malas around their necks; one has a red bindi-style mark. Brass bowls, small oil lamps, a lit incense stick and flower petals are set on a pink cloth before them. Behind, more men in orange and saffron garments sit in rows, some bare-chested, and a red and yellow cloth lies to the right. Appears to be a group chanting or puja session. No clear appearance-based candidate is recognizable with sufficient cues, so the identity remains uncertain.2017-01-11Devotees seated on a polished floor perform a puja. In the foreground two shaven-headed men in rust-orange dhotis and shawls sit with palms pressed together in anjali mudra, their bodies marked with white sandalwood or ash stripes. The man at centre wears a dark rudraksha mala and a gold chain. Behind them, many bare-chested participants in orange and white cloth sit in prayer. Brass plates hold banana leaves, flowers, a small oil lamp, a brass bowl and incense smoke rises from the floor. Bright interior lighting and a pink chair appear at the edges.2017-01-11A photograph of seated shaved-headed men in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas, many with white vibhuti stripes on forehead and arms, pressing palms together in namaskar during a ritual gathering. Behind them a seated audience in white, green, and purple saris watches, separated by metal stanchions and rope. The men appear to be sannyasi-style devotees or priests participating in satsang, not identifiable as any individual.2013-04-13January 04 20172017-01-04 +1 copiesApril 17 20142014-04-17January 04 20172017-01-04 +1 copiesAnnadhan during Allahabad Kumbhamela 20132013-01-01 +1 copies
