Photograph of a group seated on a red patterned floor rug on a pink-walled rooftop terrace in India. A woman with long dark hair in an orange saffron robe and a beaded necklace sits at left, writing on a white paper pad with a pen. Opposite her, a man in a beige vest and cream kurta sits with palms pressed together in namaste. Other men wear white dhotis or kurtas with orange-yellow shawls, and one wears an orange turban and holds a small pamphlet. A steel plate holds marigold and yellow flowers, kumkum and turmeric, beside a small brass cup. Some men have tilak marks on their foreheads. Sunlight falls across the floor and a metal railing stands behind.

A long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes with a mala sits at left writing in a notebook. Opposite, a man in beige kurta and white dhoti wears a saffron sash printed with an Om symbol; beside him a man in white kurta and yellow lungi gestures. At right a man in an orange-red turban and grey vest sits near a plate of marigold flowers, a halved fruit and red kumkum. Several other men in white and yellow clothing sit around the mat, and a small brass cup rests on the floor. The group appears to be in a puja or ritual exchange, with one man's hand extended toward the offering plate.2006-01-05A temple ritual photograph in which a priest in orange dhoti and shawl kneels at left, offering a brass plate of yellow and red marigold and rose petals. Beside him a bearded man with bare chest, rudraksha mala and orange cloth sits cross-legged, holding a small offering. Several seated devotees in orange and saffron robes and white clothes watch, some with folded hands. Brass vessels, a copper pot, kumkum bowls, a plate of fruit and a small tray lie on the stone floor, with a green cloth and a pillar at left.2010-07-21September 20 20152015-09-20July 22 20102010-07-22A seated group on a red patterned cloth on a tiled floor in a temple-like room. On the left, a long-haired figure in orange robes with a gold-toned necklace holds a trident-like staff upright. Facing them, a man in white kurta and a man in beige kurta with a yellow shawl sit near a plate of flowers and offerings, while a man in a white kurta with a red-and-orange turban and grey vest sits at right. Behind them, standing men wear white and beige clothes and a bearded man wears a red garment with vibhuti marks. A devotee in white sits in front, apparently performing a puja with an offering plate. The figure in orange with long hair has a probable identification cue of long swept-back hair, orange robes, and a gold necklace with a trident-style staff, so the appearance-based label is Swamiji (probable). Visible people counted: about eight.2006-01-05January 05 20062006-01-05September 20 20152015-09-20July 25 20092009-07-25February 12 20132013-02-12July 22 20102010-07-22
