Three men in orange and saffron robes walk through a stone-pillared temple corridor at night. The elderly man on the left, bare-chested with a white forehead mark, white sandalwood-style markings on his arm, rudraksha beads and a gold pendant, raises his finger as he speaks. The central younger man wears a red-orange headband, a long rudraksha mala, a pearl-like necklace, gold earrings and a saffron shawl with gold trim, and looks ahead. A third man on the right, in orange clothes and holding an orange cloth, follows. Behind them a man in white dhoti with gold border holds a phone, and other people stand in the background.2012-05-21May 21 20122012-05-21 +1 copiesA group of saffron-robed monastics gathers in a plain room with cream walls. In the centre-left, a smiling man sits bare-shouldered in orange cloth with a red-and-gold headband, layered rudraksha and bead malas, a gold necklace and a red bindi, with a bangle-like bead band on his upper arm. Beside him, an elderly bald man with white ash markings sits bare-chested, wearing a large bead mala and a gold ornament, his arm resting on his knee. Standing monks behind them wear orange robes and gold and rudraksha necklaces, and a monk at the left edge holds a hand near the seated man's arm. The scene resembles a satsang or ritual gathering.2012-05-18Inside a temple doorway with dark stone walls and colourful painted columns, two men in saffron-orange and rust-brown dhoti-and-shawl garments stand garlanded with white flower and red rose garlands. The man at centre-left raises both arms high, palms open, and wears a rudraksha mala and gold necklace with a head band. Beside him a smiling man in a red-brown garment and gold necklace holds his hands in namaste near the chest. Bare-chested men in white dhotis stand around them, one with a rudraksha mala, and a bald man in orange stands behind. A dark statue-like form is partly visible at lower left.2012-05-16May 18 20122012-05-18May 16 20122012-05-16 +1 copiesMay 21 20122012-05-21May 18 20122012-05-18Photograph of three men indoors in front of a cream wall beside a carved golden-bronze framed panel. On the left, a smiling man with long dark hair, a rudraksha band on his head, a red bindi, an orange-saffron shawl and a heavy gold necklace raises both hands. Behind him stands a younger man in an orange robe with a rudraksha mala, also smiling. On the right, a bald older man with white vibhuti markings, a rudraksha mala and gold bangle raises both arms, and a partly visible man in white dhoti stands at the far right edge. The left figure's long hair, orange robe and gold ornaments match the swamiji cues, and the page reports Swamiji at this event, so this is a probable identification.2012-05-16May 28 20122012-05-28Four men walk together through a narrow tent-like passage with white fabric walls. In the centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair, a white forehead band, a bare chest and multiple heavy gold chain necklaces with bead and pendant ornaments wears a rust-brown dhoti with a gold border.
