On the right, a man with long dark hair and an orange-yellow shawl over his shoulders reaches forward and offers a small yellow flower to a young girl in a pink top, who holds out her cupped hands. Beside her, a boy in a pink shirt leans in with his hands raised. Behind them, a man in a white shirt and a man in an orange robe stand watching, and a white table holds small items. The scene is bright and slightly overexposed. The right-side figure matches the page's Swamiji reference by long hair and orange shawl, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate present in person.2008-03-04November 27 20122012-11-27Outdoor homa ceremony under a bamboo canopy hung with banana leaves. In the foreground a seated priest in a saffron-orange robe and head cloth, wearing a long gold necklace and bangles, sits with his hands over a brass bowl of offerings. Beside him a young man in white with a yellow shawl and rudraksha mala holds a brass tray with a small lamp, dishes and cups. Seated white plastic chairs behind hold devotees in white and cream saris and white shirts, and a bull statue with yellow and red flower garlands stands at left. A few marigold petals lie on the ground.2009-09-26March 24 20082008-03-24Outdoor evening crowd scene where a bald man in an orange saffron robe with rudraksha beads stands on the left, holding a folded dark woven cloth on a blue and white bundle. Beside him a man in a white shirt and white trousers, wearing a gold bracelet, looks down and holds a small white paper or envelope. Around them a dense crowd of villagers presses in: women in colourful saris (yellow, red, pink), older women, boys and young men in shirts, a man in red shirt, and a man in white at lower right. A yellow pole and rope stand in the background.2012-01-04March 04 20082008-03-04
