In the foreground, a long-haired figure in an orange sleeveless top sits with a pink flower garland, reaching toward a young girl in a cream and gold-bordered dhoti-style outfit who bends forward on a blue mat, her hair tied with a white flower. Around them, men in white shirts and dhotis, a woman in a yellow-orange sari, a woman in teal, and several boys in white and teal stand and watch. A man in white holds a rudraksha mala. Light falls through an open doorway and a window, and the walls show bare brick and plaster.2010-01-23June 23 20142014-06-23 +3 copiesPhotograph of a devotional event on a white-draped stage. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti, wearing a beaded necklace, bends forward to bless a small girl in white with a red shawl. A boy in white kurta and red shawl bows toward a seated figure. Seated on an ornate gold throne with a carved lion-form armrest, a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes wears a red flower garland with gold beads and a cream garland, and a blue cushion is behind him. Another man in white stands at the back. Probable Swamiji (probable) seated on the throne in saffron robes with long hair and a red garland, receiving devotees; the page places this event as a Paduka-Yatra and Ananda Samajam gathering.2007-02-24Outdoor crowd scene with a seated figure in an orange robe and white dhoti, wearing a large red-pink rose garland and long dark hair, raising one hand in blessing toward devotees. Men in white shirts and dhotis kneel and stand close, one man in white with a dark bead mala and pendant leans in with hands folded. A woman in a yellow sari with flowers in her hair stands beside a small child in a green shirt wearing a pendant, and a man in white with a rudraksha mala is nearby. A green mat and bamboo poles lie in the foreground. Behind them a large crowd of mostly men in white clothes stands watching. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and a garland, so the appearance-based label applies.2006-11-13January 23 20102010-01-23June 23 20142014-06-23 +3 copiesJune 21 20142014-06-21A seated man in an orange saffron robe with long swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead receives a multi-coloured garland of white jasmine, red and yellow flowers, being placed around his neck by a woman. A man in a white shirt kneels before him, and a small girl in a white dress stands at right, reaching toward the garland. On the left, men in white dhotis and shirts stand with hands pressed together in namaste, one holding a red box. Behind them a shrine with framed pictures, a deity image and hanging garlands is visible, along with a butterfly-patterned glass panel. The garland-receiving figure has distinctive long hair and saffron robes, matching the page's Swamiji cues, so this is a probable appearance-based identification.2010-02-15A photograph of a temple darshan scene.
