A photograph of an indoor hall where devotees line both sides of a long red-and-brown striped runner. Saffron-robed sannyasis walk toward the camera in procession; the lead figure with long dark hair wears an orange-brown robe and holds an object in both hands. Women on the left wear orange, white and red saris and bangles, and a row of men in white or striped shirts stands along the right. A bare-chested older man in a lavender dhoti with a red rudraksha mala stands at right with palms pressed together. Steel stanchions with chains guide the line, and a wall clock and ceiling fans are visible.

Seated people on the left wear white and pink and some have head coverings; on the right a man in a dark cap and red-and-navy jacket sits near the rail. At the far end, a crowd stands in white kurtas, white dhotis, a mustard-yellow shirt and a lanyard, gathered before a dark archway beneath a wall clock. The setting appears to be a temple hall during a darshan line.2009-12-16A covered temple hall with a corrugated metal roof and an aisle lined by a red carpet leads toward a lit shrine. In the foreground a priest in white dhoti with a saffron shawl and gold garland holds a brass lamp and a bell-like object, while a man in an ornate tall dark crown with a saffron robe and garland stands beside him. A man in an orange hooded jacket and orange dhoti stands to the right. Several devotees in white and orange line the sides, a few women in saffron and white saris among them. Wall posters and a clock hang on the orange walls. The scene appears to be an aarti or puja procession, with the shrine's deity murti visible at the far end.2010-12-17July 03 20142014-07-03November 19 20092009-11-19A photograph of a man in a saffron-orange robe wearing a long pink and white flower garland walking barefoot across a whitewashed hall, smiling and looking ahead. Behind him a man in an orange robe holds a decorated multicoloured parasol on a long pole above him. Around the hall, a line of devotees stands with palms pressed together in namaste: women in white, pink and teal saris and white kurtas, and men in white shirts. A colourful painted pillar stands at the right and a wall clock hangs above the doorway. This appears to be a welcome procession in an ashram setting; the central figure has long swept-back hair and a saffron robe with a garland, consistent with a probable Swamiji (probable) candidate walking in procession.2009-08-17July 04 20142014-07-04 +1 copiesIndoor temple scene with a white-walled interior, a round blue wall clock, and a barred window at left. A central figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban, wearing a rudraksha-style necklace and a long garland of red and yellow flowers, smiles while holding a brass plate with a flaming oil lamp. A priest in a white dhoti with red and pink borders offers the plate from the right. Beside the saffron-clad figure, a bare-chested man with a shaved head and a rudraksha mala stands. Several onlookers in shirts and striped clothing watch, including a boy in an olive shirt at left. Orange drapes hang near the right edge.2015-05-01December 29 20092009-12-29July 03 20142014-07-03
