A crowded outdoor-entrance scene under a bright doorway with a lattice wall. A woman with hair tied back in a bun and a light blue shawl over orange clothing is being held at the shoulders by a man in white shirt and white dhoti, facing her. Around them, several men in white shirts and dhotis, some with moustaches, press in; a bald older man on the right holds out a folded object. A woman in orange stands at left with a long beaded necklace. Garlands of white flowers appear at the lower right. No clear basis here to identify a specific person.

A photograph of an outdoor entrance area with a lattice wall and a metal gate. In the centre, a woman in a white blouse and white sari-style garment drapes a blue shawl with gold border over the shoulders of a person in saffron-orange robes wearing a long beaded necklace. Beside them, an older man in a green-and-white checked shawl wearing a rudraksha-style necklace watches, and a man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands nearby. Several other men in white shirts and dhotis stand around, and a bright sunlit background shows trees. No distinctive a person cues are clearly visible on the central saffron-robed figure, so identity is uncertain.2012-05-18May 18 20122012-05-18May 18 20122012-05-18May 18 20122012-05-18A photograph of a crowded indoor hall with a bright doorway behind. On the left, a smiling person with hair tied back and a white forehead mark wears a blue and gold shimmering shawl over a dark red garment, holding a shawl edge toward a bald man in a green and gold silk garment with a thin beaded headband and a garland of yellow and white flowers. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti places a hand on the bald man's head, while onlookers in white shirts and dhotis, some with sacred ash marks, watch and smile. Several people wear saffron-orange cloth at the edges. The scene suggests a blessing or honouring ceremony, with no visible deity or altar.2012-05-18May 18 20122012-05-18May 18 20122012-05-18A candid photograph of an outdoor gathering near a pillared doorway with a white lattice screen. On the left, a man with long hair swept back and a thin headband, wearing an orange-saffron cloth and a long necklace of large gold-toned beads and rudraksha, smiles while holding his hands together. In the centre, an elderly bald man with a white-and-red tilak on his forehead wears a green shawl over a maroon cloth and bows slightly. A man in a white shirt on the right reaches toward the shawl, and other people in white clothes and orange tilaks stand behind them. The lens flare and blur suggest a fast-moving moment. Probable Swamiji is the saffron-clad figure with the long hair and gold beaded necklace, shown in person.2012-05-18 +1 copiesMay 18 20122012-05-18May 18 20122012-05-18A crowded indoor scene in a plain hall with a perforated breeze-block window. A man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, wearing a long garland of white flowers over a beaded necklace, stands at left beside another saffron-clad man with a shaved head and a fine bead-like headband. In the centre, an older saffron-clad man with a white headband and a turquoise-green shawl is being garlanded or honoured by a man in a white shirt and white dhoti who drapes the shawl over his shoulders. Several men in white shirts and dhotis and light shirts stand around, and a garland of white jasmine flowers is held at lower right. The figure in the centre is not confidently identifiable as a person, so no identity cue is asserted.2012-05-18 +1 copiesMay 18 20122012-05-18
