A standing man in orange saffron cloth wrapped over his shoulders raises a brass aarti lamp with multiple flames in his right hand, while holding a small silver bell in his left. He wears rudraksha mala necklaces and beaded bracelets, a patterned headband with a long braided topknot, and a red tilak on his forehead. Behind him, several men in orange cloth sit with hands raised in devotion under a white-and-black draped canopy supported by yellow poles, with green leaf garlands hanging. Trees fill the background.2017-12-16A standing man in an orange sannyasi cloth wrapped around his waist and draped over one shoulder, bare-chested, with matted dreadlocks tied under a patterned headband, holds aloft a tiered silver aarti lamp with multiple lit oil lamps. A rudraksha mala hangs at his neck and wrists. Seated devotees fill the hall in red chairs and on orange floor mats, many in white and orange clothing. In the foreground, a silver bell rests on a striped cloth-covered table. Red drapes and a golden framed image appear behind, and a few devotees hold cloth bags printed with a lotus-like emblem.2018-01-01December 16 20172017-12-16January 01 20182018-01-01A man sits cross-legged on a mat outdoors, hands clasped in his lap, eyes open and gazing forward in meditation. He wears a saffron-orange robe draped over one shoulder and a long necklace of dark rudraksha beads, with a red bindi on his forehead and long swept-back dark hair. Behind him, a woman in white with a yellow shawl sits on the ground. Orange stone pillars and a red signboard stand at the right, with dry earth and patches of grass in the background. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robe, long swept-back hair and rudraksha mala match the appearance cues for the figure in question, shown seated in meditation.2010-09-08A young man in orange saffron robes stands on a stage in front of a large seated audience, holding a brass oil lamp aarti in one raised hand and a brass handbell in the other. He wears dreadlocks tied in a topknot, white forehead markings, white marks on his arms and shoulders, a rudraksha mala, and beaded bracelets. Behind him rows of women in mostly white, orange and blue clothing sit under a white tent ceiling with hanging lights and speakers. The lit lamp suggests aarti being performed.2016-05-21December 16 20172017-12-16August 11 20162016-08-11July 13 20132013-07-13
