May 13 20132013-05-13A seated man in saffron-orange robes wears a long red and gold flower garland and gold bangles, extending his hand toward a young boy in white with a red sash who kneels before him. A woman in green and cream sari with rudraksha mala and bangles smiles as she kneels beside the boy. A box of sweets and fruit sits in front, with an orange towel on the sofa. Other women in orange and white stand in the background, and a wall air conditioner is visible.2013-05-28July 03 20142014-07-03June 03 20122012-06-03May 28 20132013-05-28May 28 20132013-05-28July 14 20132013-07-14December 04 20102010-12-04Photograph of a seated figure in an orange saffron robe with a multicolour flower garland, receiving offerings from a group of devotees in a red-walled room. A small girl in a navy dress and a toddler in a yellow shirt reach forward to offer a red apple-like fruit, while adults in red and blue clothing and a red-draped woman stand and fold hands in devotion. Behind them, a man in an orange dhoti and gold necklace and a cameraman with a tripod-mounted camera record the scene. The seated figure has long dark hair, a crown-less head, and holds a ceremonial staff, and the framing suggests a darshan moment. Several people are visible, counted from the prominent figures and partial bodies at the edges.2016-04-27A photograph inside a red-tented ashram hall during a darshan line. A seated figure on the left wears long dark dreadlocked hair, a large garland of pink, red and yellow flowers and an orange-saffron cloth draped over the shoulders; the figure appears to be a person by these cues, seated before a gilded throne-like seat with a golden trident and an ornate brass pot. Nearby, a woman in a red sari and a woman in a red-and-white outfit are seated or kneeling, and a devotee in a red blouse hands offerings. Several devotees queue around them: a woman in grey, a woman in a striped shawl, a man in a white shirt and grey trousers, a grey-haired older man in a white kurta, and a child in white. A younger man in orange robes with shaved head stands at the upper right. A camera on a tripod stands at the back. The scene shows people approaching for blessings with fruit or flower offerings.2016-04-27A seated bare-chested figure with long swept-back black hair, wearing an orange-brown shawl and a thick garland of red and pink beads with a gold ceremonial necklace, sits on a brown velvet throne decorated with red flowers. He extends his right hand toward a young boy in a white t-shirt who stands with a hand near his chest, while a girl in white and orange clothing leans in and a woman in a white and gold-bordered sari holds flowers and a small tray. A gold deity murti sits near the throne, and a colourful painted backdrop and leopard-print cushion frame the scene. Probable Swamiji (long swept-back hair, orange shawl, bead garland, gold necklace) is seated on the throne, giving blessings to the children.2012-12-26April 27 20162016-04-27
