A photograph of a group of men standing in a row in a marble-walled room with a glass partition and wall-mounted monitors. Most wear white shirts and white dhotis, with sacred ash marks on the forehead. The man at the right, with white hair and a white beard, wears a cream shirt and white dhoti, and holds a cloth in his hand. Another man in the middle row has a white shirt and folded hands. A bearded man in a pale shirt stands behind them. No candidate is distinctively identifiable as a person by appearance alone, so the identity is left uncertain.2012-05-14 +1 copiesMay 10 20122012-05-10 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated group of men in white dhotis and white shirts listening intently at an indoor event.

A woman seated in front wears a bright orange sleeveless top with an orange shawl over her shoulders and her hair in a low braid, her back to the camera. Facing her, a group of men in white shirts and white dhotis stand in a semicircle; one in the centre gestures with his right hand while another in the middle with a rudraksha-style mala has his hands pressed together in namaste. An older man in a cream shirt also presses his palms together. The men's appearance is ordinary white ritual and everyday clothing; no candidate for a person is visibly identifiable from appearance, so no identification is made. Fruits sit on a plate at the right edge.2009-08-05March 03 20132013-03-03A photograph of a seated audience in a plain room with a grey block wall and a wooden door at right.

Several men in white and cream shirts with white dhotis stand in a semicircle, several with palms pressed together in anjali. In the foreground, a figure seen from behind wears a saffron-orange sleeveless top and has dark, loose hair, facing the group. A blue plastic chair stands behind the group, and a bottle sits at the lower edge. The men's clothing is mostly white and cream, with one man in a checked yellow shirt on the left. The setting suggests a devotional or greeting moment, with the seated or standing sannyasi receiving the visitors.2009-08-05
