The central figure wears a rudraksha mala, a gold chain and an orange shawl, and smiles broadly. Two saffron-robed men on the left wear rudraksha malas and one holds a brass vessel, while another on the right wears a saffron garment. A man in a checked shirt in the foreground bends forward with his back to the camera, and men in white shirts stand in the background. Another bald man with white vibhuti marks is at the lower right.

Several men in orange robes and white shirts stand around, and a person at left in a teal shirt holds a brass vessel. Swamiji (probable): the seated central figure has long swept-back hair, a saffron shawl and multiple garlands, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji. The people are: seated central figure, standing monk in orange with rudraksha mala, bald elder with rudraksha headband, and several men in orange and white around a ritual setting.2012-05-22 +2 copiesFebruary 12 20132013-02-12May 22 20122012-05-22Outdoor photo of a ritual at a fire, with a flame visible at the lower edge.

Beside him a bald sannyasi in orange robes and glasses, with a gold necklace and a pendant, holds a silver tray of offerings. Another bald man in orange robes stands behind, and a man in a red and gold turban and a yellow-robed figure are at the edges.

Beside him, an elderly bald man with white ash markings sits bare-chested, wearing a large bead mala and a gold ornament, his arm resting on his knee. Standing monks behind them wear orange robes and gold and rudraksha necklaces, and a monk at the left edge holds a hand near the seated man's arm. The scene resembles a satsang or ritual gathering.2012-05-18September 10 20152015-09-10 +1 copiesJune 17 20122012-06-17 +1 copiesIndoor photo of a small group in a plain white-walled room with a wooden door frame at left. A central seated man with long dark hair, white vibhuti lines and a red kumkum mark wears a saffron shawl and a garland of white and red flowers, smiling. Around him stand several shaved-headed men in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas, one holding a brass plate with a white offering, and a man in white shirt and glasses. A younger man in white dhoti with a rudraksha mala holds a small silver vessel. At lower right a bald elderly man with white vibhuti and a flower garland sits, and a woman with a gold-trimmed brass lamp appears at lower left. Probable Swamiji: the seated central figure's long hair, saffron shawl and garland match the candidate cues, so this is an appearance-based label only.2012-05-22October 27 20102010-10-27 +1 copies
