Indoor photo in a bare concrete hall with white block walls and a brown door. In the centre, a long-haired man in an orange saffron wrap walks barefoot and smiles, appearing to be a person on account of his long swept-back hair and saffron clothing. Beside him a man in an olive green t-shirt and cream trousers stands with hands clasped, and another man in a maroon shirt and white dhoti stands behind. Behind them are rows of gold-coloured deity murtis on the floor, and a large portrait of a woman with long dark hair hangs on the wall. A striped green cloth and a tall yellow-and-gold hanging are at the left.2007-02-02February 24 20072007-02-24February 24 20072007-02-24A photograph of a covered open-sided hall with an orange corrugated roof and red-framed windows. In the centre, a man with long, swept-back dark hair and an orange saffron robe walks barefoot across a striped green, pink and blue mat, smiling and looking down. He wears orange garments wrapped over his body. To his right, an older bespectacled man in white dhoti and kurta with an orange shawl and a rudraksha-style pendant holds a rolled item and walks alongside. Behind them a man in white and another in orange move through the room, and a pedestal fan, white plastic chairs and a table stand nearby. A large printed banner on the back wall shows a man in white turban-like headwear. A camera operator is visible at the left edge. The long hair, orange saffron robe and rudraksha cues are distinctive and align with the page's reference to Swamiji, so the central figure is a probable Swamiji.2006-12-10A photograph of a hall at night with tube lights and hanging decorations. In the foreground a smiling young man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange-saffron robe over a pink undershirt and has a red bindi. Behind him a group of young men in white kurtas and dhotis with orange shawls move through the room, some barefoot, one with a shaved head. Festive streamers and blue-and-red cloth hang from the ceiling. The scene appears to be a celebratory gathering.2007-02-25Indoor photo in a plain white-walled hall with a corrugated metal ceiling and a wall speaker. A younger man with long dark hair wears an orange robe with a maroon border and gestures with raised hands while speaking. Beside him, a bald older man in an orange shawl stands with clasped hands, and another bald man in orange holds his hands together. On the left, men in white garments with yellow shawls stand listening. Behind them are small deity figurines, a gold-framed decorative panel with colourful garlands, and a glass cabinet on the right holding ritual items.2009-10-15Indoor photograph of a group of saffron-clad sadhus standing in a plain hall with a corrugated metal roof and fluorescent tube lights. A man in the centre with long dark hair wears an orange robe and a rudraksha mala, smiling and looking to his right, with his hands folded at his waist. Around him, bearded and shaven-headed men in orange and ochre robes stand in a loose line; one at right wears a green shawl over white garments. Framed pictures hang on the walls behind them, and a potted plant stands at left. The scene appears to be a gathering of sannyasis at an ashram hall.2009-12-30August 09 20072007-08-09June 11 20142014-06-11Indoor photograph in a tented hall with a concrete floor and metal scaffolding. A long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe with a red tilak on his forehead stands smiling at left, with a bare-chested man in a gold-yellow upper cloth and red dhoti beside him, also smiling, wearing a rudraksha mala and gold chains. Several men in white shirts and white dhotis stand around them. Behind them are brass and gold-toned deity figures and a painted portrait, with a sack labelled in marker beside the floor. The left figure has long, swept-back hair and saffron clothing, a distinctive cluster of cues, so he is described as Swamiji (probable) in this paduka procession setting.2007-02-24December 23 20072007-12-23December 02 20092009-12-02
