July 03 20142014-07-03 +1 copiesA photograph of a small indoor room with plain white walls where a man in an orange saffron robe with long dark hair and a white flower-and-leaf garland stands at right, extending his hands toward an older man in a grey shawl with a patterned brown wrap. Between them a priest in white dhoti and bare chest holds a brass tray of yellow fruits and offerings, while a man in white shirt and glasses stands at left and a bare-chested man with rudraksha beads wearing a white dhoti sits in front. Several other men in white shirts and white dhotis stand around, and a microphone stand is at lower left. The orange-robed figure at right is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues including long hair, saffron clothing and a garland, but this identification is appearance-based only.2007-01-12July 10 20142014-07-10July 20 20132013-07-20March 14 20142014-03-14May 22 20122012-05-22 +2 copiesSeptember 23 20122012-09-23July 01 20142014-07-01January 12 20072007-01-12July 03 20142014-07-03June 24 20142014-06-24 +1 copiesA photograph of a devotional gathering in an indoor hall with red drapes. In the foreground, a bald man in an orange shirt and a man in a white shirt press their palms together in namaste toward a central figure. A bare-shouldered woman in an orange wrap wears a long white jasmine garland with red flowers and gold bangles, and reaches forward with her hand over a red tray holding gold objects and papers. On the right, a man in an orange and yellow-bordered wrap wears a dark rudraksha mala and a red tilak on his forehead, looking downward while another devotee's hands are folded beside him. Behind them, a young man in orange robes wears a rudraksha mala and a tilak. The scene suggests a satsang or darshan, with the hall's decor visible in the background.2012-09-12
