July 07 20142014-07-07A photograph of a pink house entrance with potted aloe plants flanking a doorway decorated with marigold garlands. A shaved-headed man in an orange-red robe and orange-brown rudraksha mala leans forward at the threshold, with a gold stud in his ear. Beside him, a man in a white dhoti with an orange-red rudraksha mala holds his hands together in greeting. Behind them stands a man in a red-orange garment and a man in a grey shirt. On the right, a man in a white shirt watches. A black round object sits at the left edge. The scene suggests a house visit with padapuja in the a person tradition, but the ceremony itself is not clearly visible.2014-07-07A photograph of a crowd gathered under a yellow-beamed porch beside an orange-painted wall during a temple visit. At centre, a smiling man with a dark headband, white and red forehead markings, long gold ceremonial necklaces and an orange-saffron wrap stands beside a bald man in matching orange robes with a gold-and-rudraksha necklace. A devotee in a white shirt, palms pressed together in greeting, faces them at left, while older men in white and other onlookers press in behind. A green tree is visible at right.2012-05-16 +1 copiesPhoto at a house doorway with a green gated entrance and leafy mango-leaf toran hanging above. Three saffron-robed men in orange-red cloth with yellow border stride out; the central figure wears a red-orange turban and rudraksha mala, and is smiling with one hand near his head. Two bald men in front wear orange-brown rudraksha malas, and orange wrist bands; a devotee in white stands behind, and more people are visible in the background.2014-07-01Two saffron-robed men walk together outdoors past a whitewashed building with a barred window and potted flowering plants with red blooms. On the left, a man with long dark hair swept back wears a rust-red robe with gold-yellow borders, a long rudraksha mala and a ceremonial gold bead necklace, and a red thread on his wrist. Beside him, a shaved-headed older man in a bright orange shawl and robe, with a vermilion tilak on his forehead, gestures with one hand as he talks. Several other monks and men in the background, including a man in a brown shirt, stand near the wall. The left man has distinctive long hair, ornate beads and rudraksha, so a probable Swamiji identification applies to him as the person with long hair and rudraksha malas; the older saffron-clad man is a sannyasi in a visible tilak and shawl.2014-03-14July 07 20142014-07-07 +1 copiesA photograph inside a home corridor with yellow walls and a ceiling fan.
