A photograph inside an ashram hall with a gilded throne-like chair and ornate pillars with pink and green capitals. A woman in a brown and orange sari with a long green and red flower garland is handing a pineapple on a woven tray to a man in orange and red robes with an orange head wrap and red tilak. Around them, saffron-clad attendants with white forehead marks and rudraksha malas stand by brass lamps and a lion-shaped golden ornament. A man in grey on the right and a partly visible man on the left complete the group of about six people.

A photo of a ceremonial greeting in a temple hall with a gilded throne-like seat and ornate pillars behind. A person in a brown and orange shawl, wearing a green and red garland and gold bangles, offers a pineapple to a man in an orange turban and pink-and-gold shawl who stands with palms pressed together in greeting. On the right, a man in a grey shirt and orange shawl also joins his hands. Other saffron-clad monks stand in the background and a man in white holds a blue booklet at left. Brass lamps and a red curtain are visible. The overall moment is a reception of guest swamis with offerings.2013-10-19October 19 20132013-10-19October 19 20132013-10-19February 22 20132013-02-22October 19 20132013-10-19A photograph of a ceremonial honouring inside a temple-style room with a gold-framed throne and red velvet curtain. A seated man in an orange robe with a rudraksha mala and an orange turban-like head covering stands while a woman in an orange-and-gold silk sari with a green garland and gold bangles drapes a pink and orange shawl over his shoulders. Around them, men in white shirts with orange shawls stand, one holding a booklet, and a pineapple sits on a tray near the flowers. The person in the orange turban and rudraksha mala shows appearance cues that are only partly distinctive, so identity is uncertain, and no name is printed on the scene itself.2013-10-19May 04 20162016-05-04A photograph in an ornate temple-style hall with a gold lion sculpture and a golden throne with red cushions at right. A young man in a white dhoti with a blue silk shawl and white body markings stands at left, holding a brass plate of fruit including pineapple, apples and bananas. Beside him, an older bearded man in an orange shawl holds a matching plate. At right, a figure in an orange-red turban, gold-and-pink silk garments and a long garland of silver-green beads and ribbons stands with palms together, smiling, in front of the throne. Brass oil lamps stand at left. The scene looks like an offering of fruit during a ceremony. Whether the figure at right is a person is uncertain from appearance alone.2013-08-13October 19 20132013-10-19January 13 20152015-01-13January 03 20152015-01-03August 13 20132013-08-13
