A seated man in orange saffron robes sits on a white-covered bed against a yellow-and-green checked cloth. He has long dark hair swept back and wears a heavy garland of brown rudraksha beads and pale seed beads. An older woman in a green sari with gold border and gold bangles bows forward with palms pressed together in greeting. A man in white shirt and white dhoti, wearing glasses, leans in to place a garland over the seated man's head. Two people are visible physically, and the scene looks like a devotee's home visit with garlanding.

Photograph of a home visit. A grey-haired woman in a green sari with gold border bends forward, pressing her palms together in greeting before a seated man in an orange robe. He wears a long rudraksha and white bead mala, a red-orange tilak on his forehead, and long swept-back dark hair; his expression is downcast. A young woman in white with an orange top kneels at the lower right. Behind them hangs a yellow-green checked curtain and a white wall. Three physical people are visible.2009-08-11August 11 20092009-08-11A photograph of a home visit in a plain white-walled room with green and yellow checked curtains. A seated figure in an orange saffron robe has long dark hair, bowed head, and a large rudraksha-style garland with ornamental beads draped around the neck. A standing man in a white shirt and white trousers lowers a long rope-like garland over the seated figure's head, while an older woman in a green sari helps guide it. A metal plate with lamps or offerings sits at the figure's bare feet. A young man in white with an orange shawl sits at the right edge. The sofa is covered in white cloth. A few swept-back hair and garland details suggest a candidate presentation, but the face and identity are not established here.2009-08-11August 11 20092009-08-11A photo of a seated figure in an orange sari with a white and red floral garland and gold necklace, having their head touched by a man in white dhoti and shirt. A second person in orange robes stands at right, bent forward and watching. Pale tiled wall behind, with a folded paper in hand and a small brass vessel on the floor. Setting appears to be a ritual pada puja moment.2009-07-25August 11 20092009-08-11August 11 20092009-08-11August 11 20092009-08-11Photo of a padapuja-style devotional ritual indoors. A saffron-robed figure with long swept-back dark hair and a thick rudraksha mala with floral garlands sits with palms pressed in namaskar on a white-covered couch. An older woman in a green sari with gold bangles bows in prayer at left. Two men in white dhotis and an orange shawl sit on the floor before brass trays with gold-coloured offerings, small bowls, a lamp and a glass dish, performing the ritual. Yellow and green checked curtains hang behind.2009-08-11Indoor photo in a plain room with white walls and green-and-yellow checked curtains. A seated figure in orange robes with a brown-and-cream beaded mala draped over the shoulders, long dark hair swept back, is seated on a white-covered sofa and holds the hands of an elderly man in a light blue shirt, who bows forward. A standing man in white shirt and white dhoti and a woman in a white sari with red border stand nearby, and a white pedestal fan stands at left. The orange-robed figure's long hair, saffron clothing and mala are consistent with the Swamiji (probable) label from the page, so this is an appearance-based candidate.2009-08-11August 11 20092009-08-11August 11 20092009-08-11
