January 09 20182018-01-09January 09 20182018-01-09January 09 20182018-01-09A photograph of a man standing with hands pressed together at his chest in a devotional gesture, head bowed. He wears a long rust-brown robe, a leopard-print headwrap over long dreadlocks, a thick gold necklace with a pendant, a rudraksha-style bracelet and a long garland of white, yellow and red flowers. Behind him, several young men in saffron-orange robes and orange turbans stand with hands folded, one holding a decorated kalasha pot wrapped in yellow flowers beneath a multicoloured fringed canopy. The floor is covered with striped cloth.2017-08-25 +1 copiesOutdoor courtyard scene in bright sunlight with a central bearded man in an orange-red turban and orange-red robe, wearing layered white and gold flower garlands, rudraksha and bead malas, a gold pendant and bangles, standing with hands folded near a figure bowing deeply with long matted locks at his feet. Around them stand devotees in saffron, orange and maroon clothing, several with white and ochre forehead markings, one woman in a maroon sari holding a garland, a bare-chested man with bangles, and a woman in white-and-gold dhoti-style cloth holding a brass plate with a lit flame and incense smoke. A woman in teal and a woman in yellow stand at left beside potted plants and a hanging decorative mat. The bearded central figure has long swept hair and distinctive orange turban, rudraksha and ceremonial gold adornments, so this is a probable Swamiji identification by appearance cues.2016-12-23Outdoor procession scene at dusk. A man in a brown dhoti and sheath stands centrally wearing a large gold necklace, a heavy garland of yellow and red flowers, and a white tilak on his forehead, with hands folded in front of him. Before him a man in white clothes prostrates face-down on a woven mat, with a brass plate of fruit, flowers and a lamp beside him. Around them, women in orange saris stand with palms pressed together in namaskar, and men in orange cloth and white dhotis stand nearby, one holding a basket of flowers and another a paddy-straw umbrella. Red and pink lights glow at the upper right.2017-12-02January 09 20182018-01-09 +1 copiesDecember 23 20162016-12-23December 02 20172017-12-02A photograph of a ceremonial welcome on a stone-paved courtyard. A central man wears a large gold necklace, a long garland of red, yellow and pink flowers, and a maroon garment. Before him, a woman in an orange sari and a kneeling woman in a green and gold sari bow low, touching the ground near his feet. Around them, men in saffron robes and white dhotis stand, some with rudraksha malas, and one young attendant in orange-yellow holds a gold ceremonial plate with a lamp. Yellow and blue decorated umbrellas and a red pillar frame the scene. Five to six physical people appear plus several more in the background, so the visible count is roughly twenty or fewer.2017-12-30October 11 20162016-10-11A photograph of a procession at an outdoor ashram setting. In the centre, a man with long dark hair tied up in a leopard-print headwrap stands with his eyes lowered and hands pressed together at his chest. He wears a rich maroon-brown robe, a long multi-colour garland of red roses, yellow marigolds and white flowers, and heavy gold ornaments including a large pendant and beaded necklaces. Behind him, several men in saffron-orange robes and red turbans stand with hands folded in devotion, one holding a golden-and-orange kalasha decorated with yellow flowers. A multicoloured fringed canopy overhead and a striped cloth on the ground complete the scene.2017-08-25
