Indoor home shrine scene during a house visit. A man in saffron-orange robes and a multicolour yellow, orange and red flower garland sits on a raised seat holding a tall silver staff upright, with bare upper arms and beaded bangles. Beside a brass altar with oil lamps and bananas, a shaved-headed priest in saffron cloth kneels and tends the offerings, and a young shaved-headed attendant with a white forehead mark and rudraksha beads stands at right. In the foreground a devotee in white with a saffron shawl bows low at the feet of the seated figure. A framed portrait in saffron robes hangs on the wall, with a deity murti and a ceiling fan at right. Probable Swamiji is the seated man in the garland, identified by his long swept-back hair, ornate bangles and saffron robes.2014-06-22June 22 20142014-06-22June 23 20142014-06-23 +1 copiesA seated figure in a red-brown dhoti and orange shawl holds a silver trident aloft, wearing a long garland of white and red flowers, a rudraksha mala and bangles. A standing man in an orange dhoti stands at left. Several devotees in white shirts sit on the floor before a small oil lamp on a tray, with flower petals scattered about. A framed portrait of a saffron-robed figure and a yellow cloth-draped table appear at right. The figure's appearance is consistent with a person, given the trident, saffron-and-red robes, rudraksha mala and garland, though this is uncertain. The scene resembles a small puja or satsang gathering.2013-06-23 +2 copiesJune 23 20132013-06-23 +2 copiesA seated man with a swept-back dark hairstyle and tilak on his forehead wears a red-brown shawl over orange robes, with a red and yellow flower garland and a beaded necklace. He holds a tall silver trident-like staff upright, smiling. Two young saffron-robed disciples with shaved heads sit on the floor, one holding a lit oil lamp. In the foreground, devotees in grey and orange clothing kneel with folded hands, one woman in a purple sari. A standing man in white dhoti and orange shawl with a mala stands at right, and a niche with framed deity pictures and garlands is behind them. Appearance suggests a probable Swamiji (probable) seated in the centre, with cues including long swept-back hair, ornate beaded necklace, orange and red clothing and a trident staff, while a satsang or puja setting is shown.2014-07-10June 22 20142014-06-22June 22 20142014-06-22July 07 20142014-07-07 +1 copiesJune 22 20142014-06-22June 23 20142014-06-23 +2 copiesJuly 07 20142014-07-07 +1 copies
