A crowd gathers in a warmly lit room around a central figure in an orange-red saffron robe with a bare right shoulder and a rudraksha mala draped across the chest, who smiles and extends a hand toward devotees. Behind him, a doorway framed with red and orange gerbera flowers, green leaves and a white floral arrangement opens onto a purple wall. Men in white shirts stand near him, a woman in a floral blouse and glasses holds her palms together in namaskar, and a woman in an orange saree sits in the foreground. A large green banana leaf fills the right edge. The central figure is an appearance-based a person, identified by the saffron robe, mala and distinctive presentation.

July 04 20142014-07-04 +1 copiesA photograph of a doorway at a temple-like entrance decorated with yellow marigold garlands and green leaves. A smiling man stands in the centre wearing a rust-red robe with a gold-coloured sash, layered rudraksha beads around his neck, and a red bindi on his forehead. He is flanked by devotees: a bald man in glasses in a light blue shirt bends forward with hands folded, and a woman in a pink and cream patterned sari with gold earrings holds folded hands in front of her. Other people in white and dark clothing crowd behind. Orange-red metal gates with gold finials frame the scene.2014-07-04 +1 copiesA doorway decorated with garlands of red and orange gerbera daisies and green leaves frames a group of people in an interior. A shaved-headed priest in saffron-orange robes with an orange shawl and rudraksha beads stands at center, eyes lowered. Beside him, a man in maroon robes and a beaded necklace smiles and gestures. A woman on the left presses her palms together in namaste, another man in white shirt stands behind, and an older woman in a sari sits at right. A welcome sign is painted on the wall beside the door.2014-07-04July 07 20142014-07-07 +1 copiesJuly 04 20142014-07-04 +1 copiesJuly 04 20142014-07-04 +1 copiesJuly 04 20142014-07-04 +1 copiesJune 27 20142014-06-27July 07 20142014-07-07July 04 20142014-07-04July 02 20142014-07-02 +1 copiesPhotograph of a doorway in a whitewashed corridor decorated with pink and red flower garlands and green leaf festoons. A man in an orange-red turban and orange cloth with a white garland stands in the centre, with a younger man in orange robes beside him. Around them, people in white dhotis and shirts, a boy in white with a rudraksha-style necklace, and women in pink and in saris stand close together. In the foreground a woman holds a brass vessel with flowers, and a videographer films at right. Possibly an arrival or welcome moment in the ashram; the central figure's appearance is not sufficiently distinctive to confirm an identity.2008-07-27
