Photograph at the Triveni Sangam riverbank with a wide, hazy river in the background and a few distant people and boats on the far shore. In the foreground, a long-haired figure in a saffron-orange robe sits cross-legged on a blue mat on the stone steps, with a rudraksha-style mala visible. Beside them, a man in white clothing bends forward, hands in a ritual gesture over a brass or silver vessel placed on the steps, close to the water.

A long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes and a pale shawl sits on a low seat, hands raised in a gesture, facing the water; a white-clad devotee bends forward in front of them, with another person's dark hair visible at the lower edge. The setting suggests a pooja or puja beside the river. Swamiji (probable): the seated saffron-robed figure has long swept-back hair and orange clothing, matching the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.2006-01-08January 08 20062006-01-08 +1 copiesA photograph taken on a sandy riverbank beside a wide, calm river at Triveni Sangam.

Beside him, a second man in white clothing lies stretched out on the sand with his head near the seated man's knee. The water stretches behind them with a distant shoreline and buildings across the river.2006-01-08January 08 20062006-01-08January 08 20062006-01-08January 08 20062006-01-08January 08 20062006-01-08 +1 copiesOutdoor photograph at a riverbank. A man with long dark hair wears an orange saffron robe and sits cross-legged on a stone step beside a blue patterned mat and a small brass lamp. He leans forward with his hands raised over the head of a bare-headed man in a grey patterned cardigan and white dhoti, who kneels on the mat with bare feet, and the saffron-robed man seems to be applying a blessing or tilak to his forehead. A clay-coloured ritual setting and a steel vessel stand near the mat.2006-01-08
