Outdoor photo of a life-size seated statue on a low stone platform before a hill, under a multicoloured umbrella with tassels. The figure wears a red turban, rudraksha mala beads, a gold necklace and an orange-saffron cloth, with one hand raised in blessing and a trident-like staff held in the other. Behind it stand shipping-container style red walls, trees and a brown rocky hill under a pale sky. Two people in saffron robes stand at the right edge, far back.

A seated statue in a red-and-orange sannyasi robe, with a red turban, rudraksha mala and gold ornament, raises its hand in blessing beneath a colourful umbrella with fringed edges. It sits on a raised red plinth on a whitewashed step in front of a row of orange shipping-style containers, with a rocky hill and trees behind. Two orange-robed people stand at the right edge, near a parked white car at left. The statue is a depiction, not a living person.2017-02-03February 03 20172017-02-03February 03 20172017-02-03February 03 20172017-02-03Outdoor photo at a hillside site with a rocky, scrubby mountain rising behind a row of rust-coloured shipping containers under a corrugated roof.

The seated figure wears a pink garment, a red-beaded mala and a gold necklace, and sits on a brown seat beneath a multicoloured ceremonial umbrella with a tasselled fringe. Concrete pillars frame the platform, a white car is parked at left, and a woman in white stands at the right edge.

A bare-chested man in orange dhoti and shawl, seen from behind, raises a gold ceremonial staff toward a seated figure. The seated figure wears a red-orange turban, orange robe, and multiple beaded necklaces, with hands in anjali and a gold object held in one hand, sitting on a low cushioned seat beneath a multicoloured fringed umbrella. Behind them are stacked orange containers and a corrugated roof. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated figure, distinguished by the turban, saffron robe and ornate necklaces, in a ceremonial reception role, and the staff-raising man is a priest or attendant. Rocky hill slopes rise in the background.2017-02-03A shirtless man in an orange dhoti and orange shawl stands with his back to the camera, holding a ceremonial object, before a large seated painted or printed figure of a saffron-robed guru with a turban, rudraksha mala and gold garland, under a multicoloured fringed umbrella.
