Outdoors on a red cloth-covered ground, a shaved-headed sannyasi in an orange saffron dhoti and bare upper body stands beside a banana-tree trunk wrapped with marigold garlands, raising his arms. Behind him a white-clad man in a white shirt and a second white-robed man stand near the trunk. To the left, a framed portrait labelled "Parivrajakacharya ... Swaroopa Sadguru ... MAHA a person" sits within marigold and pink flower decorations. A white temple gopuram and red bunting appear in the background.

August 09 20072007-08-09August 09 20072007-08-09Outdoor photo at a memorial shrine with a palm-leaf and banana-leaf canopy decorated with orange and yellow marigold garlands. A tall board displays a framed portrait of a man in red with a printed caption reading "Shri Sri Shivapuri Mahaswamiji" and "Paramahamsa Swamiji" (attributed to the sign, not to any person in the scene). Beneath it, a pink plinth holds flower beds of orange, yellow and pink blooms. In the foreground, a woman in orange robes with long dark hair stands on a pink cloth covering, facing the shrine with hands folded. Three men in white shirts and white dhotis stand nearby, one in an orange shawl. Two other people appear in the background. A white archway stands at the right.2007-08-09August 09 20072007-08-09December 23 20082008-12-23 +1 copiesAugust 09 20072007-08-09August 09 20072007-08-09Outdoor ceremony under a canopy of palm fronds and marigold garlands. Several saffron-robed sannyasis stand in a row at left; the central figure in orange with a shaved head and light beard, and a bearded monk beside him in orange, are labelled as candidates for a person by their saffron robes and presence at the event, but their appearance is uncertain, so this is marked unsure. A bare-chested priest in a white dhoti with a red-and-gold shawl stands with his back to the camera at centre, near a second man in white holding a green-wrapped offering. At right a large framed portrait of a smiling saffron-clad teacher is garlanded with white and orange flowers. Below, a carpet of marigold and rose petals and offered bananas lies on the ground. A readable caption on the portrait's base reads partly as Paramashivam.2007-08-09Outdoor photo at a garlanded shrine area with a thatched canopy decorated with yellow and orange marigold garlands, and a red carpet on the ground. A bare-backed figure in saffron/orange cloth with long dark hair, seen from behind, stands at left facing a white-clad man in a white shirt and dhoti holding small items in his hand. Beside them, a figure in white and orange-saffron drape stands near a tree trunk, and a man in a light shirt and dark trousers stands at right. A stone memorial or samadhi-like structure with garlands is in the background, with a temple tower visible beyond the trees. The figure in saffron could be the a person by visible appearance, but his face is not visible and the identification is uncertain.2007-08-09August 09 20072007-08-09August 09 20072007-08-09Outdoor photo on a red carpeted path beneath trees, with a decorated canopy of marigold garlands and fringed thatch behind.
