A barefoot man in a saffron-orange garment with long, swept-back curly hair stands on a green mat strewn with flower petals, turned toward a large seated crowd. He wears a white flower garland and raises his hands, apparently addressing the audience. Behind him, men in white dhotis and orange shawls stand near a stage, and a crowd of men in white clothes sits and gestures under a corrugated roof with bright lights. A videographer's tripod is visible near the front row. Appearance-based label: a person, in person at the convention.

A photograph from an indoor tented event with a green carpeted floor and white canopy. A man with long dark hair, wearing a saffron-orange draped garment and a rudraksha mala, stands barefoot with arms spread wide, face lifted upward, as if mid-dance or in ecstatic expression. Behind him a crowd of about twenty people in white clothing watches and claps, mostly women in white saris and men in white kurtas and dhotis. At the right edge a young man in white with a yellow scarf holds a video camera. Overhead lights and a ceiling fan are visible.2006-11-26A barefoot man with long, swept-back dark hair stands on a green floor scattered with petals, laughing with arms raised in an expressive gesture.

He wears an orange saffron wrap over a bare-shouldered orange garment, a gold chain with a pendant, a red dot on his forehead, and a long garland of white jasmine interspersed with green and pink flowers hanging to his knees. Behind him is a large orange backdrop printed with an enlarged close-up of a smiling face, beside a white flower-covered chair with a cushion and a golden ornamental pillar at right.
