In the foreground a man in a dark red-brown shawl and brown dhoti, wearing a long beaded rudraksha-style mala, holds out yellow flower petals with both hands. Beside him a man in a white kurta with a grey-haired head bends forward offering petals. Around them many men and women in white clothes and rust-red shawls sit attentively, some with folded hands, others looking toward the front, with a blonde woman in white at centre. A man in a blue turban sits at the left edge. No clear evidence identifies a person as present in this frame.2014-05-04Outdoor photograph on red stone steps at a riverside gathering. A seated man on the right, with long swept-back dark hair, a red and white floral garland, layered gold and rudraksha-style necklaces, gold bangles and an orange-saffron dhoti with gold border, sits on a leopard-print cushion and accepts a yellow cloth bag from a woman in a white sari-style dress and bangles, who kneels before him. A shaved-headed young man in orange robes with white markings on his arm stands on the left and gestures toward the bag. Behind them a seated crowd in white clothing and other saffron-clad attendants sits on the steps, with a colourful ratha-like structure and orange flags in the background.2013-07-08Night outdoor event. A man seated on a red throne with a gold-edged back wears a rust-orange garment, a rudraksha mala, layered gold necklaces, gold armlets and bangles, and a tilak on his forehead. He takes a small yellow pouch from a young woman in a white top with a rust-coloured shawl and a beaded mala, who holds it out over a striped green-and-pink cloth on a table. Behind them, several people in white and rust clothing stand near a garlanded deity murti and pink draped fabric.2013-07-17May 04 20142014-05-04A seated woman in ochre-red robes with a gold-trimmed saffron shawl and a long rudraksha-style mala receives or hands out offerings during a ritual gathering. Her forehead bears a gold-yellow tilak and she wears a small headset microphone. Beside her a bald man in ochre robes and glasses leans over a large round tray heaped with reddish-brown sweets or offerings, while his hand reaches toward the tray. Behind them, women in white dress and red shawls and lanyards stand close together, some holding trays. A woman at left with yellow tilak extends her hand toward the scene. Several people are visible; the setting appears to be an indoor ceremonial event with a brown leather chair.2015-05-24April 28 20142014-04-28May 24 20152015-05-24December 23 20162016-12-23A photo inside a hall with red curtains and a gold-framed throne at right. A young woman in a yellow floral salwar kameez receives a small book from a man seated at right in saffron-orange robes, rudraksha malas and gold bangles, with a headset microphone; he holds a book in his other hand. Behind them, several saffron-robed men, some shaved-headed and some with white tilaka, sit or stand, and a woman in a white sari with red border and other devotees in white and yellow watch. A tall air conditioner and pedestal fans stand against the wall. The page labels this as a person, probable, from the saffron clothing, rudraksha malas, headset and throne setting.2013-10-28
