A photograph of a procession inside a plain yellow-walled hall with a red tiled floor. A man in saffron-orange robes and a long red and white flower garland walks barefoot at centre, with dark hair swept back and bare upper body, appearing to be a person candidate by his garland and orange robes. He is accompanied by a woman in a cream sari with a brocade border who carries a woven basket with flowers and offerings. To the left a woman in white with folded hands stands near steel pots and water jugs. Behind them a shaved-headed man in orange, women in white saris, and men in white kurta clothing follow past a colourful festoon-decorated canopy and a table with a patterned cloth. Five to six people are visible.2008-03-12March 12 20082008-03-12March 12 20082008-03-12A photograph inside a bare, newly finished room with white walls and tiled floor. A central figure in an orange saffron robe with a white jasmine garland and a long rudraksha mala walks forward smiling, with a red tilak on the forehead and long dark hair swept back. Around them, several men in white dhoti and shirt stand with hands folded in anjali, and a woman in a cream sari carries flowers and a plate. On the right, a white-clad elderly man stands beside a white-draped table holding a brass lamp, a bell, a plate and a flame. Marigold and rose garlands hang along the doorway and the window. A kalasha-style offering and a lit oil lamp sit on the table. Swamiji (probable) appears as the orange-robed central figure with long swept-back hair, garland and rudraksha mala, consistent with a visiting dignitary being welcomed at an office opening.2010-02-16July 28 20082008-07-28July 28 20082008-07-28November 25 20092009-11-25 +1 copiesA photograph of a barefoot man in a flowing orange-saffron cloth walking across a bare, tiled hall toward the camera, wearing a multicolour garland of pink, white and yellow flowers around his neck. Behind him, a woman in a white sari with a gold border and a red-dotted forehead walks with her hands together, followed by other attendees, one in an orange shirt. On the right, a man in a white shirt and white trousers stands with palms pressed together in a namaste greeting beside an open doorway. A small black speaker or amplifier sits on a low black table to the left, near a white wall with a barred window. A cameraperson is visible in the background.

Around him, men in white dhotis and shirts walk in procession; one at right carries a silver tray, and another at left in white gestures toward flower garlands and marigold strings laid on the floor. Beyond the doorway, a shed is decorated with marigold festoons and blue drapery hangs by a window. A red carpet runs across the floor. The figure in orange has a distinctive turban, saffron robe and rudraksha mala, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity, so the candidate is recorded as unsure.2010-02-18A photograph inside a plain home room with cream walls, orange and white striped trim, and framed pictures on a shelf.

An elderly woman in a white sari with pink border presses her palms together at right, and an older man in white shirt and dhoti with a rudraksha mala stands at far right. Other people in white clothes are visible in the doorway behind, and a garlanded framed portrait sits near the wall.2010-01-21December 31 20092009-12-31
