Indoor photo at an ashram gathering. On the right, a man in saffron-orange robes and a long orange beaded necklace with gold beads, with white tripundra marks and a red bindi, looks down at a small white card held in both hands. Facing him on the left, a man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala and white forehead markings listens closely. Behind them, a man in orange with a red and white forehead mark and beaded garlands stands beside a man in a blue shirt and others, with a projection screen at the top left. A label overlay in the corner reads the copyright notice.2013-04-02April 01 20132013-04-01Photograph of a ceremony indoors with a dark background and a blurred gold halo-shaped object behind. A man with long swept-back black hair, a red bindi, gold earrings, multiple rudraksha malas, a gold ceremonial necklace and an orange-saffron shawl over an orange robe holds a small white paper and reads from it. Next to him a bald man in an orange robe with rudraksha malas holds an orange cloth or tray, and a man in a white dhoti with a gold border stands at left. Another man in an orange robe with rudraksha malas stands at far right with a tilak. The man with long hair and ornate adornments has appearance-based cues consistent with a person, shown in person reading aloud during a ritual gathering.2013-01-21A photograph of a long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes and a wrap with a dense gold ceremonial necklace and gold armband, holding a white sheet of paper and reading it while people gather around. Probable Swamiji (probable): the figure has long swept-back dark hair, saffron-orange clothing and heavy gold ceremonial ornaments, the cues for a presiding guru in this archive. Around him, a bald orange-robed devotee stands at left with rudraksha beads, a grey-haired man in white with a raised palm, a man in white with a mustache, and a shaved-headed man in white behind. Blurred onlookers fill a hall with a red curtain behind them.2013-06-17April 14 20122012-04-14January 28 20132013-01-28March 26 20132013-03-26A photograph of a long-haired man in a red shawl and red top, with a red bindi, a white pearl necklace, gold pendant and rudraksha malas, smiling as he receives a folded white paper from an older man in a white shirt who holds his palms cupped together. Behind them, shaven-headed men in white and an orange-robed monk stand near a silver tray at the bottom edge. The man in red has long swept-back hair and a crown-free but ornate, distinctive presentation with multiple rudraksha malas and a ceremonial gold necklace, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in the central role of receiving a petition. Background includes yellow and orange drapes.2011-02-16Photo of three men in a hall with a maroon curtain and a yellow-and-red tassel behind them. On the right, a man with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and a rust-orange wrap, wearing a long string of large gold beads and rudraksha-style brown mala beads, looks down smiling at a printed sheet he holds in both hands. Beside him stands a shaved-headed priest in rust-orange robes with white tripundra markings and a bead mala, looking toward the sheet. On the left, two men in white shirts stand close, one pointing at the paper with his finger.2013-05-03A photograph of an indoor event with a man in an orange-saffron robe, red and gold beaded garlands, gold ornaments and a dark mark on his forehead, holding a white printed sheet of paper and looking down at it. Beside him a shaved-headed man in orange wears a white tilak stripe and a rudraksha-style necklace and smiles. An older man in a white shirt holds a small white paper and gestures toward them, while another man in a white shirt and a shaved-headed attendant in orange stand at the edges. A bare-shouldered orange-robed figure is seen from behind at the right. A dark red curtain and warm lights are in the background.2013-05-28April 01 20132013-04-01A photograph of a long-haired man in a red shawl and rudraksha malas receiving a folded paper from an older man in a white shirt at an indoor gathering. The man in red has a red tilak on his forehead, a white pearl necklace with a gold pendant, and rudraksha bead armbands. Swamiji (probable), appearing as the man in red with long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and a gold pendant, is receiving the paper. Behind him a bald man in orange robes stands at right beside a silver tray, and other people in white clothes stand in the background.2011-02-16
