January 20 20072007-01-20 +1 copiesA dense crowd at an ashram gathering, seen from behind a photographer's raised hand holding a camera. In the centre, a bald man in orange robes with a gold-bordered red shawl turns away from the viewer, with long dark hair flowing down his back, while a man in an orange turban wrapped with a knot stands in the foreground. To the left, a figure in a pale pink shawl draped over a red floral garland receives attention, and a boy with glasses and a rudraksha mala stands nearby, clad in white. Men in white shawls and turbans, and a man in a white kurta with a lanyard, press around, with a video camera visible above the crowd. Outdoor ceremonial setting with marigold garlands and a flagged backdrop.2013-02-11February 11 20132013-02-11May 07 20162016-05-07Outdoor photograph at a crowded festival setting with red paper lanterns, pink and red fabric drapes, and a golden ceremonial standard topped with a crescent. In the centre, a bearded man in a red beret, red-pink shawl over a bare chest, and a beaded rudraksha-style mala stands before a bare-backed man whose head is wrapped in a saffron-orange turban; the standing man's hand rests on the turban. Around them, people in white, pink and yellow-green clothing watch and press their palms together in greeting, and a man on the left photographs with a camera. Appearance cues for the centre figure are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so he is described by role only.January 21 20072007-01-21October 03 20172017-10-03 +1 copiesOctober 03 20172017-10-03 +1 copiesA photograph inside an orange-draped tent with red and orange cloth walls. A man in an orange turban, orange dhoti and shawl, with a gold-coloured belt and a beaded bangle on his upper arm, stands at left smiling and holding up a folded orange cloth. Beside him a bald man in orange robes and a rudraksha-style mala works at the same cloth, and at right an older man with swept-back hair in an orange shawl looks on. A woman in pale orange robes stands in the foreground holding the cloth. A gold ornamental canopy top and a patterned carpet with a red cushion are visible at lower left. The orange-robed figure in the turban has no clearly distinctive identifying cues beyond clothing, so the appearance cannot be confirmed.2013-02-22Photograph in a tent with orange and cream draped fabric and a gold-carved throne in the background. A tall man on the left wears an orange turban, orange robes, a gold waist belt, a gold armband and a rudraksha-style mala, and he reaches out to clasp the hands of a bearded man in orange shawls who bends forward. Behind them a shaved-headed man in orange robes and beads stands near the gold throne, and an older man in an orange shawl watches at the right edge. Four people are visible in total.2013-02-22 +1 copiesOutdoor procession crowded with devotees under a canopy of hanging red and yellow tassels, with saffron and orange flags on poles. In the foreground a man with a red tilak on his forehead holds a garland of yellow marigolds with green leaves. Behind him, three saffron-robed sannyasis walk together: a bespectacled bearded man in saffron robes with a heavy gold necklace and pendant, an elderly bald man in saffron clothing with hands folded in front of him, and a younger man on the right wearing an orange head wrap and a long dark rudraksha mala, his hands at his sides. Many white-clad devotees and onlookers fill the background.2009-01-16A dense crowd fills a festival procession route at a Kumbh Mela-style gathering, with many men pressing close around a central group. In the centre, a bearded, bare-chested sadhu wears a red beret, a rudraksha mala and a white loincloth, and is guided by a man in a patterned shirt. Beside him, a woman in an orange top with gold trim bows her head. Behind them, saffron-robed figures carry a tall orange flag and a trident, and a camera operator films above the crowd. Pink and white banners, red paper lanterns and orange flags decorate the stalls behind. A bearded man with yellow tilak marks and white beard stands at the lower left in saffron and white. Robed sadhus and devotees in orange, red and multicoloured clothing fill the frame.
