A photograph of a shaved-headed man in an all-white outfit performing a yoga balancing pose on a polished white floor, his hands planted on the floor and body extended forward in an arm-supported posture. A brown wooden mala hangs from his neck, and gold bangles are visible on his wrists. The floor reflects his body and head. A white curtain hangs behind him, with a red-cushioned chair and an orange cloth in the foreground. A chrome rail is on a pink wall to the right. No readable name appears on the figure; the only visible text is the copyright line on the image.2010-09-09A bald man in white clothes performs a balancing yoga pose, bent forward with his body supported on his hands on a glossy white floor, his head lowered toward the floor. He wears a dark brown rudraksha mala around his neck and gold bracelets on his wrists. A reflection of him appears on the glossy floor. Behind him hangs a white curtain, a dark chair with red upholstery stands at left, and a pink wall with a grey pipe is at right. A blurred orange fabric covers the lower left corner.2010-09-09A photograph taken close to a glossy white floor, showing bare feet of a person in saffron-orange robes walking forward on the right, their reflection visible in the polished surface. Behind on the left, several people in white clothing sit on the floor near a blue mat and a small white cloth or offering with red and yellow items at its edge. The setting appears to be an indoor hall or ashram space, and the focus is on the orange-clad walking feet rather than faces. Only the lower legs and feet of the orange-clad figure are visible, so no identification is made from appearance.2010-10-23November 05 20102010-11-05Indoor photograph of a ceremony in a white-tiled hall. On a raised golden throne with gold-carved armrests and ceremonial staffs behind it sits a figure in orange robes with long hair, a visible presence on the dais; this is an appearance-based candidate, so a person is unsure. Before the dais, several men in white kurta-style clothes with rudraksha-style beaded necklaces stand or bow low in prostration on an orange cloth and blue mat, with scattered petals. One man lies fully prostrate while others kneel with hands and forehead toward the floor. A golden canopy with a garland-draped deity image and a black floor mat marked with a logo complete the scene.2010-11-05November 28 20112011-11-28Photograph inside a temple hall showing three men in plain white kurta-style clothing prostrating on an orange cloth and a blue-patterned mat.

Behind them is a raised white platform, and a gilded ornate throne or altar with gold carvings stands in the background beside a gold pillar.2010-11-05November 05 20102010-11-05A photograph of a person in a full prostration on a pale marble-look stage floor, face down with arms extended forward. The person wears a white kurta with a white embroidered sleeve and a red-orange shawl draped over the shoulders. A bangle is visible on the wrist and bare feet are on the floor. Behind is a large orange cushioned backrest with a dark wooden frame, and a low orange cushioned bench sits to the right. A small microphone cable runs along the floor at the left edge. The person's identity cannot be determined from appearance, and the figure is in prostration rather than a seated pose, so the a person field is unsure.2010-02-20A blurred, double-exposed photograph of a bald man in white clothes crouched low on a pale tiled floor, one hand resting on the ground and one leg extended upward behind him, as if in a yoga posture. He wears a white kurta and white trousers with a thin cord around his neck. Partially visible people in white stand or sit at the left edge, and a figure in white and yellow appears at the right. The setting is a plain white room with a curtain behind.2010-09-09A group of devotees in white dhotis and white kurtas or sarees, many wearing orange shawls over their shoulders, gathers in a hall with a tiled floor and orange cloth runners laid out.
