A photograph inside a room with brown wooden doors and a small window, where a smiling man in an orange sleeveless robe and a beaded garland of orange-and-gold beads stands at centre, accepting a folded red cloth from a younger man in an orange kurta on the left. A man in a white kurta with glasses and a dark beaded necklace stands at right, and several onlookers in saris, salwar and shirts stand behind them. Yellow paper-cut leaves hang along the doorframe, and framed pictures are visible on the left wall. The figure in the orange robe and beaded garland shows distinctive ceremonial cues, but the appearance is not conclusive enough to confirm identity, so this is a role-based description of an orange-robed sannyasi receiving an offering.2009-09-15A photograph taken indoors in a plain room with pale grey walls and a wooden door on the left. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a red bindi smiles and gestures toward the doorway. Beside him, a bald man in saffron robes with a rudraksha mala and red tilak walks alongside. Behind them a woman in a white sari with a red border and a man in white clothing move through the room, with a small table holding a lamp and offerings to the left. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha malas on the central figure.2012-01-03June 23 20132013-06-23 +1 copiesIndoor photo of a crowd gathered in a tiled room with white walls and a barred window. In the centre, a man in an orange saffron robe with an orange head covering and a long rudraksha mala walks forward, smiling, with a man in orange cloth beside him. Behind them, people in white shirts and white dhotis stand watching, and a woman in a white and orange sari has her palms pressed together. On the right, a bare-chested man with a rudraksha mala and a young man with curly hair in orange cloth stand near the frame. An older bald man with glasses bends forward with hands raised in greeting at the left. The scene suggests a satsang or darshan visit.2009-01-12A photograph of an indoor room with white walls and a framed portrait on the upper right wall.
