A seated man in an orange-saffron robe with a gold-bordered shawl sits on a red-and-white striped mat, smiling with eyes closed while holding a small handful of dark seeds in his right hand. Long dark hair falls past his shoulders, a gold chain hangs at his neck, and a red thread is tied at his wrist. Before him are steel bowls of white powder, yellow turmeric-like powder and seeds, a folded red cloth, a steel tumbler and a white cloth bag. A white pedestal fan stands at left, and a gilded deity murti with garlands and a tall golden vessel appears in the background, indicating a temple ritual setting.

He is shirtless except for a rust-orange saffron wrap over his shoulders, a gold necklace and a red wrist thread, and he smiles while mixing material from a steel bowl with his hands. Bowls of yellow turmeric paste and dark powder sit before him, with a silver tray and white cloth nearby. Behind him stands a golden deity murti garlanded with yellow flowers, and a decorated shrine with colourful garlands and a yellow-draped table is visible. Along the right edge, a partially visible seated person in a dark shawl is seen, and a small framed photograph hangs near the shrine. This appears to be a puja preparation at an ashram temple setting.2018-04-15April 15 20182018-04-15April 15 20182018-04-15April 15 20182018-04-15April 15 20182018-04-15April 15 20182018-04-15April 15 20182018-04-15A seated man with long dreadlocks and a short beard, bare-chested apart from a saffron-orange cloth wrapped over his body with a gold-bordered edge, sits on a red and white striped mat during a ritual. He wears a gold chain and a rudraksha mala across his torso and a red thread on his wrist, and holds one hand outstretched over a tray of dark seeds. Behind him stands a tall white-robed figure garlanded with yellow flowers, and to the right a decorated deity murti is surrounded by colourful garlands and a golden cloth-draped altar table. Several small lamps glow in the background. Two people's heads are visible at the lower edges, and a small pot and folded white cloth sit near the tray.2018-04-15A smiling man with long dark hair and a short beard sits cross-legged on a red-and-white striped mat, wearing a rust-orange dhoti and shawl with a gold border and a gold chain necklace. His bare right hand reaches into a steel bowl of white grains, with bowls of dark seeds and yellow powder beside him. A small metal cup and folded maroon cloth rest on a silver tray to his left. Behind him, orange-robed figures and a blue-and-white information board with a gold frame appear in the background. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, rust-orange robes and gold necklace are consistent with the page's identification, and the figure is physically present.2018-04-15April 15 20182018-04-15
