September 21 20132013-09-21September 21 20132013-09-21Close-up photo of a smiling shaved-headed man wearing thin-rimmed glasses, a red bindi and a broad white sacred ash band across his forehead, with an orange flower tucked above one ear. He wears a saffron-orange cloth draped over his shoulder and multiple strands of brown rudraksha beads around his neck. Behind him, several young people with white ash on their foreheads stand in a blurred hall. Pictured figure is a devotee-style presentation with no distinctive a person cues such as long hair, crown or ornate gold jewellery, so identity is uncertain. Visible people: the main man plus several blurred figures in the background.2013-09-21September 21 20132013-09-21A photograph of seated monastic devotees during a gathering. In the foreground, two young boys in saffron-orange robes wear long rudraksha mala necklaces and have white horizontal tilaka bands across their foreheads and upper arms. Behind them, a shaved-headed young man in orange and peach robes sits with a rudraksha mala, white forehead marking and calm gaze. Other seated participants in red and maroon robes, and women in saris, fill the background. Some seated figures appear to be in meditation with eyes lowered. The setting is an indoor hall with red chairs.2013-09-11Close-up portrait of a smiling bald man with a broad white horizontal forehead band and a red dot at the centre of his brow, wearing clear-rimmed glasses and an orange-saffron cloth wrap over bare shoulders, with multiple strands of brown rudraksha beads around his neck.

A seated man in the upper centre wears a saffron-orange robe, long rudraksha mala strands and a white forehead band with a red dot, looking forward. In the foreground a boy in orange robes and a rudraksha mala holds a small lit lamp or wick near brass plates and metal vessels. Behind them other boys in red and orange robes sit on red mats with brass items and flower-decorated plates.2013-07-30September 21 20132013-09-21A smiling shaved-headed man in a maroon and gold-bordered shawl sits in the foreground, wearing wire-rimmed glasses, a red bindi and layered rudraksha malas with a dark bead necklace, holding a small black device with a clip-on microphone at his collar. Behind him, several young men and boys in saffron-orange robes wear rudraksha malas and sit on the floor among green leaves and flower offerings.
