A photograph of a long-haired man seen from behind, bare-backed and wearing an orange-saffron cloth draped over his shoulder, reaching to adjust a deity murti. The deity is framed by a large gilded arch with a crown finial and is heavily garlanded with bands of yellow, red, pink, green and white flowers, and draped in a red and gold cloth with jewelled ornaments. To the right, a man in white shirt and rudraksha-style mala watches, and other people in white or dark clothing stand behind a leafy outdoor setting with hanging green leaves overhead. The scene suggests an outdoor temple procession or darshan around a decorated deity.

A photograph of a temple ritual: a bare-backed man with long, dark, swept-back hair wears a saffron-orange cloth wrapped around his waist and hands on a deity murti draped in garlands of yellow, red, green and white flowers.

Behind him, a man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala stands watching, with other onlookers and a pillared temple roof above.2006-10-01A photograph of a temple shrine decorated with garlands of yellow marigolds, white flowers and red blossoms. A bare-chested man with long, dark, matted hair and an orange cloth around his waist reaches up with both arms to adorn an ornate golden shrine niche draped in pink and white silk. A green silk cloth hangs beside the garlands. To the left stands a dark stone deity murti with a crown and white garland, and a brass lamp sits at the right. Banana leaves and a hanging lamp are visible at the top of the frame.2016-12-19A photograph inside a temple shrine showing a person in an orange saffron wrap and red blouse, long dark hair falling forward, leaning over to adjust a small silver object near a decorated deity murti. The murti wears a jeweled crown, a gold and jeweled necklace and is draped in a garland of yellow, red, green and white flowers.

Yellow and magenta marigold garlands drape the golden base and a red-and-green gold-bordered cloth hangs beside it. Ornate gold-tone ceremonial necklaces with beads hang on his chest. To the left, a second person in saffron stands near brass vessels and a white ritual item, and a figure in a blue silk sari with a gold border and white jasmine garland kneels beside the brass vessels. The setting is a temple pavilion with a concrete ceiling and a water tank visible outside. Swamiji is a probable identification from the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ornate necklaces.2010-02-12A bare-chested priest in an orange dhoti and white upper cloth stands with his back to the camera before an ornate golden shrine on a street procession. Inside the shrine stands a small metal deity murti crowned with a headdress, draped in pink and white flower garlands and orange cloth. Red and gold decorative panels frame the shrine, and a few onlookers' heads appear at the bottom edge. The priest's hands are at his waist, adjusting his garment before a temple-style procession.2012-06-04November 29 20112011-11-29August 28 20162016-08-28A bearded man with long dark hair and a white tilak on his forehead, bare-shouldered, wearing a multi-coloured beaded necklace, reaches up with both arms to adorn a deity murti. The murti is draped in dense garlands of red, orange, yellow and white flowers, pink rosebuds, gold and gem ornaments, and a red silk shawl. The setting is night-time with a golden textile backdrop. The man's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance; he is a priest or devotee dressing the murti.2016-12-19A photograph of a temple ritual in which a bare-chested man with long dark hair, a white tilak on his forehead, a brown dhoti and a pink-and-white garland around his neck adorns a deity murti. He lifts a garland of white, yellow and red flowers and green leaves toward the murti's face, which is decorated with a golden crown, jewelled ornaments and a green silk cloth. Behind the murti, gold and blue embroidered textiles hang, and a black stone figure stands at left. A brass oil lamp with yellow marigold garlands sits at right, and banana leaves and hanging decorations appear above.2016-12-19A photograph of a temple shrine where a figure with long, swept-back dark hair in a saffron-orange dhoti and matching shawl is decorating a seated deity murti with garlands. The murti is draped in red, white and yellow flower garlands and wears ornate silver jewellery. Brass oil lamps burn at the base of the shrine, and a gold-framed arch and garlanded figures stand beside it. The figure has distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and a rudraksha-style necklace, consistent with the Swamiji appearance cues, so this is a probable appearance-based label rather than a confirmed identity. The visible activity suggests padapuja-style worship at a shrine.2011-11-29A man in profile, wearing an orange sleeveless garment and a thick garland of yellow marigolds, white flowers and magenta and red blossoms draped over his shoulder. His long dark hair falls down his back and he has a white vertical mark on his forehead. His right arm is extended toward a deity murti or altar decorated with flowers, and behind him a large gold-leaf ornamental frame glows in the background. The setting appears to be a temple sanctum during a puja.2009-12-23A bare-chested man with long dreadlocked hair and a flowing beard, wearing a lavender-and-white flower garland over his shoulder, reaches forward with both arms to place white flowers on a richly decorated deity murti. The murti wears a gold crown and is adorned with long garlands of yellow marigolds, red roses and green leaves. Behind it stands a gilded silver arch with an orange cloth backdrop and a dark stone lingam-like form at lower left. Green banana leaves frame the foreground, and a silver tray holding yellow flowers or offerings sits at lower right. This appears to be a puja or abhishekam scene in a temple shrine at night. The man's appearance is consistent with a distinctive presentation (long dreadlocks, bare chest, floral garland), but identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.2016-12-19
