A photograph of a devotee in orange robes with long dark hair bowing with forehead touching the feet of another person seated on a chair, in a prostration or padapuja-style gesture. A brass kalasha-style pot with a spout and a brass vessel stand on the ground, and a small orange-tipped stick lies on the dirt. The devotee kneels on a striped purple mat with a red patterned rug beneath the seated figure's feet. Other people in orange robes stand in the background. The setting appears to be an outdoor ground. The seated person wears white and their face is not clearly visible enough to confirm identity.

July 12 20062006-07-12Outdoor ritual gathering under a large banyan tree with hanging garlands. A seated figure in long swept-back dark hair, saffron robe, rudraksha mala and white dhoti sits on a folding chair, while a devotee in saffron kneels and bows his head to the floor at his feet on a red patterned rug; a standing attendant in saffron with a grey beard and gold-edged cloth stands at right. Behind them, a row of shaved-headed saffron-robed monks stand holding brass kalashas and long staffs over lines of brass plates with offerings, oil lamps and flowers laid on woven mats. Many people in white clothing sit on the ground in the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure shows long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala, the cues the rules require, and the bowing devotee performs a padapuja-style homage.2006-07-12July 12 20062006-07-12July 12 20062006-07-12September 30 20082008-09-30October 06 20062006-10-06October 08 20062006-10-08December 31 20082008-12-31A young man in a cream checked kurta, with a silver-toned cord around his neck, bends forward prostrate on a red floor covering, his forehead touching the bare feet of a seated figure. That figure wears a saffron-orange robe draped over the lap and a wooden walking stick rests against the seat. Behind, another person in white trousers stands at the edge of the frame. The scene looks like a padapuja, the ritual of honouring a guru's feet, though the identity of the seated figure cannot be established from appearance alone.2006-10-08December 28 20082008-12-28 +1 copiesApril 05 20122012-04-05August 22 20062006-08-22
