Devotees in white ritual clothes sit before him: an older man in a cream shirt with his head bowed and hands folded, a woman in a white sari with a red bindi and hands joined, and another woman in white. Silver trays with oil lamps, flowers and a plate of offerings sit on the floor, and an attendant in white kneels near the bottom left. A framed photograph of a garlanded deity hangs on the pale green wall, and a table at left holds fruit and red-lined trays of offerings. A pada puja foot-worship scene is visible, with a silver tray near the seated man's feet.2010-01-24July 21 20102010-07-21December 04 2006 - Karthikai Deepam, Tiruvannamalai2006-12-04A photograph of a doorway at a temple-like building where a man in an orange-saffron dhoti-style garment and matching shawl stands barefoot with palms pressed together in anjali namaskar. He wears a long white and red flower garland and a rudraksha mala, and has long dark hair swept back. On either side, men in white kurta and dhoti attire stand near him, and a woman in a sari with folded hands stands at the right edge. Behind them, children in white and a girl in a blue sari are visible, with a colourful decorated chariot or ratha with red and yellow canopy in the upper background.2006-12-29A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange sleeveless top and a rudraksha mala stands at right with palms pressed together in prayer before a small table holding a brass tray with fruit and offerings. A pink cushioned seat with gold trim sits at the far right beside a green banana plant. In the foreground, a woman with a red bindi and a bald man in glasses are seated, and a bald man in a white dhoti kneels in the doorway behind them, with other seated devotees in the background. The walls are terracotta-coloured and an incense haze fills the inner room. Swamiji (probable): the standing man in orange with long swept-back hair and rudraksha mala is the central figure.2010-09-13A photograph of a courtyard ritual with orange-washed walls and red and white painted trim. In the foreground a man in an orange sleeveless wrap sits with palms pressed together in namaskar, facing away from the camera toward a low table with a tray of flowers and offerings at the right. Around him, devotees sit on the floor: a bespectacled man in white clothes with a white shawl, a woman in a red blouse and white sari with a rudraksha mala, and young women in pink and white clothing. Behind them, men in white dhotis wear yellow shawls, and a yellow cloth and shrine area are visible through the doorway. This appears to be a puja or padapuja-style gathering with devotees seated in prayer.2010-07-29July 21 20102010-07-21
