A photograph of a man in a cream-coloured turban and white dhoti with a bare upper torso, wearing a garland of yellow flowers with green leaves, a rudraksha mala and bead bracelets, reading a small white paper handed to him by a devotee. The turbaned man has a distinctive ceremonial presentation with a wrap and adornments, but his face and features are not clearly visible, so the identity is uncertain. Beside him, a monk in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and tilak stands closely. On the left, a man in a white shirt folds his hands in namaste toward him. Behind them, a crowd of devotees in white and light clothing fills a bright hall with a red curtain.July 06 20132013-07-06A photograph of a ceremonial reception in an indoor hall with maroon curtains. A man in a cream-coloured turban with a jewelled ornament and a white dhoti with a gold border wears rudraksha-style red beaded bracelets and a long beaded necklace; he is receiving a garland of white flowers and orange blossoms from a man in a striped shirt at left. A younger man in a saffron/orange robe stands at right, and several onlookers in white shirts and dhotis stand in the background. The turbaned man in white and gold is a candidate for a person on appearance (probable), based on his ornate turban, jewelled adornment and beaded necklaces, but the image is not clear enough to confirm identity.2012-04-09April 08 20122012-04-08April AF 2012 +2 copiesIndoor ashram gathering.
