A crowd gathers at the entrance of a white house with a wooden door and carved wooden window frames. In the centre, a bare-chested man with a rudraksha mala and red and white cloth wrapped at his waist stands near a woman in a red sari holding a brass tray of offerings. Nearby, women in orange garments and men in white dresses and shirts stand close, some with hands folded in greeting. A colourful fringed umbrella rises at the right edge, and a potted plant sits at the left. The man with the bare chest and mala has distinctive adornments, but his face and presentation are not clearly distinctive enough to confirm the a person candidate, so the identity is uncertain.

July 02 20142014-07-02A photograph of a crowd gathered outdoors in a courtyard beside a banana plant and a barred window. In the centre, a bare-chested, shaved-headed man wears an orange-red dhoti with a gold-bordered shawl and a thick orange rudraksha mala, with his back to the camera, facing a figure in an orange-red robe wearing a large white and yellow floral garland. Around them, men in white shirts and women in colourful saris press forward with folded hands, several with flower garlands and marigolds. A woman in a red sari with white flowers in her hair stands at the right foreground, hands joined in greeting. The people appear to be greeting and receiving the robed figure during a visit.2014-07-04 +1 copiesDecember 31 20092009-12-31A courtyard scene in a white-walled house with a red-and-white tasselled canopy overhead and a floral garland hanging on a doorway. In the foreground, two women in orange saris with long dark hair face away, one holding a silver plate of flowers and fruit. A bare-chested man with a rudraksha mala and a red thread on his wrist stands at left beside a man in glasses. A woman in a teal sari holds a pink garland, while a crowd of men in white shirts and dhotis stands behind. No one visible clearly matches a distinctive appearance cue, so no identification is made.2010-01-23July 27 20082008-07-27Indoor photograph of a devotional gathering in a plain room with white walls and a window. A bald man in a white shirt and white dhoti bends forward, pressing his palms together and holding the hands of a seated woman in a red top; she sits on a white cloth with a steel plate nearby. Beside him, a man in white with a red-and-white marked dhoti stands, and a man in a white shirt and dhoti kneels at the front. A standing person on the left in an orange robe holds a bouquet of flowers and a green leaf. Around them, devotees in white, saffron, red, yellow and blue saris and dhotis, with a red-and-orange shawl and rudraksha mala on one standing man, crowd together watching. Appears to be a padapuja or blessing moment; no tall figure with cues is clearly shown.2009-08-08Photograph of a doorway in a whitewashed corridor decorated with pink and red flower garlands and green leaf festoons. A man in an orange-red turban and orange cloth with a white garland stands in the centre, with a younger man in orange robes beside him. Around them, people in white dhotis and shirts, a boy in white with a rudraksha-style necklace, and women in pink and in saris stand close together. In the foreground a woman holds a brass vessel with flowers, and a videographer films at right. Possibly an arrival or welcome moment in the ashram; the central figure's appearance is not sufficiently distinctive to confirm an identity.2008-07-27August 03 20092009-08-03A photograph of a house-visit ceremony at a white-walled entrance with a wooden door frame and a green-striped doorway decoration.
