November 10 20062006-11-10A busy street scene in a South Indian town with traditional tiled-roof buildings on both sides. Several people walk along the road in the foreground, including a man in a white dhoti and white shirt on the right, a woman in an orange sari, and a woman in a pink sari carrying a small child on her hip. Cars, a green bus and motorcycles travel on the road, and roadside stalls with blue tarpaulin awnings line the left side. A wooden-pillared traditional building with a sloped tiled roof stands on the right, and a white arched gateway and a multi-storey building appear in the distance under a cloudy sky.2006-11-09November 10 20062006-11-10May 18 20122012-05-18September 12 20122012-09-12May 18 20122012-05-18May 18 20122012-05-18October 12 20122012-10-12November 24 20062006-11-24A large crowd of devotees, mostly men and women in white clothes, stands with palms pressed together in namaskar in the courtyard of a temple. Behind them rises a tall white gopuram carved with tiered deity figures, with a pillared hall and orange-walled structures to the right. Several devotees wear orange or yellow shawls and saffron scarves, and some hold yellow bags. In the foreground a few men with white shirts and some in orange clothing stand close, and a man on the right wears a long black ponytail and orange cloth. Several people are visible in the background. No individual can be identified as a person from appearance here, so the figure's presence is unclear among the dense crowd.2010-01-08A photograph of a procession walking through a covered bamboo-thatched walkway toward a tall, ornately sculpted gopuram temple tower in Tiruvannamalai. In the center, a figure with long dark hair wears an orange head covering, an orange-and-gold sannyasi wrap, and multiple beaded rudraksha-style malas, smiling and holding hands together in greeting. Around them, many men in white shirts and white dhotis, some with sandalwood or vibhuti marks on the forehead and red threads, walk closely together. A small colourful shrine tower with painted blue, red and orange tiers stands in front of the main gopuram. The page appears to match a Swamiji birth-star celebration, and the central figure shows distinctive long hair, orange robes and malas, so this is a probable Swamiji appearance in person. Another figure in the crowd appears to be wearing a shawl. The visible crowd is about 20 people.2007-01-12November 09 20062006-11-09
