March 02 20132013-03-02A low-angle outdoor photograph of a copper-clad ceremonial pillar wrapped with orange rope, yellow and white marigold garlands and a carved relief figure at its base. A smiling figure with long dark hair and a white forehead mark stands at the top, wearing a red-and-brown ornate garment, layered gold and rudraksha-style beads and a pink-and-white floral garland, holding a small metal vessel. Beside him a bald man with a white forehead mark and bare upper body kneels, pressing his hands together near a red flower and mango leaves. Palm trees fill the background under a pale sky.2013-03-10July 15 20112011-07-15 +1 copiesA photograph of a bearded man in a maroon turban and a red-and-white patterned shawl with layered gold necklaces and a long red-and-white garland, climbing yellow metal railed steps outdoors among tall palms. He is attended by a large ornate umbrella with multicoloured tassels held by a man in a white dhoti. Nearby, a cameraman in a white dhoti films with a professional camera, and white-clad attendants and orange-clad devotees stand around. Palm trees and a red cloth canopy frame the scene.2016-12-14A photograph of a procession chariot with a gold ornate canopy hung with multicoloured tassels in red, green, yellow and orange, and strings of purple and white flower garlands. A long-haired man with a red bindi and a tilak on his forehead sits on a gold throne-seat wearing an orange-red cloth, a leopard-print shawl and white flower garlands, smiling and raising his right hand in a wave. Swamiji (probable): the long dark hair, orange clothing, rudraksha-style beads and ceremonial garlands on the seated figure are visible cues. Gold-decorated pillars and ornate railings frame the chariot, with a blurred crowd at the bottom edge.2010-02-12October 17 20102010-10-17A photograph of a ceremonial seated figure on an ornate golden throne decorated with white jasmine and yellow and red marigold garlands, topped by a golden canopy with hanging flower strings. The seated person wears saffron-orange robes, a long red-and-white garland, and has long dark hair; his bare feet rest on a red cushion. A trident is set beside the throne, with carved golden lion-form armrests. Behind stands a man in a dark sweater with an orange shawl and white dhoti, hands folded. In the foreground at right a cameraman films, and a seated woman at bottom right appears to pray. The setting is a dim tented pavilion with a metal roof and a hanging bulb.2006-12-30Outdoors under palm trees, a person in a rust-red garment with an orange-and-blue parasol stands beside a large copper-coloured ceremonial vessel decorated with white jasmine garlands and red flower strands. The person wears a long red-and-gold necklace of red flowers and gold beads, and gestures toward the decorated copper structure. Green foliage and bright sky fill the background.2014-08-20 +1 copiesA man in a rust-red turban and saffron-brown robe stands on a raised platform with both arms lifted overhead. He wears a long red and yellow flower garland with a rudraksha mala across his chest, and the platform is heaped with white and yellow flowers at his feet. Behind him, orange-robed men with white sandalwood marks on their bodies and shaved heads stand near a metal railing, and a stepped stone amphitheatre with rows of seats and red flags fills the background. Swamiji (probable): the turban, red-and-gold garlands, rudraksha mala and ceremonial reception on the platform are the qualifying cues for the lead figure, who is honoured as a guest of a satsang event.2015-07-31A photograph of an outdoor ritual at a carved wooden temple structure draped with garlands of yellow, red and purple flowers. A man stands at right with a rudraksha mala and a red flower garland, wearing a rust-red dhoti with gold borders and gold armbands; his hair is swept back. Coconut palms and a green lamp post are behind him. At far right, a few people in orange and saffron robes stand near a tray of yellow flowers. Watermarked archive photo; the text beside the scene describes a Brahmotsavam flag-hoisting.2014-11-26January 24 20162016-01-24March 02 20182018-03-02
