A man with long dreadlocked hair piled on his head, wearing a pink and white flower garland over an orange-brown cloth on his shoulders, sits in profile before a large gold-coloured deity murti holding a bowl. Several other people in white and cream clothing stand and sit around the scene, including a man with a white forehead mark in the lower left. The setting appears to be a temple ritual with a golden image as the focal point.

A photograph of a man with long dreadlocked hair wearing a pink and white flower garland and a saffron-orange shawl, reaching toward a gilded brass deity figure holding a shallow oil lamp. The figure has an ornate crown and jewelled necklace. Behind them other people in white dhotis and shirtless devotees stand in a temple setting. Appearance is consistent with a person performing an aarti or lamp offering with his hand near the lamp, and the page indicates the event.2017-05-22May 22 20172017-05-22May 28 20172017-05-28May 22 20172017-05-22May 28 20172017-05-28May 22 20172017-05-22Close profile photograph of a smiling man with long dark hair, a white tilak on the forehead and a small red bindi-style mark, wearing a pink and white flower garland and a saffron-orange cloth at the shoulder. Behind him a blurred gold-coloured deity murti with a crown and necklaces, and a bright red dot marking its face. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha-style beaded garland and ceremonial floral garland cues are visible on the seated man. Setting appears to be a temple or satsang hall.2017-05-22May 22 20172017-05-22A photograph inside a temple hall during a ritual. In the foreground a long-haired man with dreadlocks, wearing a maroon cloth, a multi-coloured flower garland and a red wrist thread, reaches toward a gold-coloured deity murti seated on a dais. Beside it stands a gold-coloured ornate figure with a tall crown, and in the left foreground a second gold metal image with a halo-like backdrop. Around them, bare-chested men in white dhotis and rudraksha malas stand with hands folded in prayer or holding ritual objects. A white pedestal fan and an oil lamp are visible at the right edge.2017-05-30May 22 20172017-05-22A photograph of a long-haired man in a red-brown robe wearing a large garland of pink and white flowers with gold beads, seen from the side as he smiles and gestures with one raised hand. Beside him stands a large polished gold deity murti with a crown-like headdress, and a gold lamp stand is in the foreground. A second man with white tilak marks on his forehead and gold necklaces sits at the left edge, hand to his ear, while white-clad people are blurred in the background. The appearance of the central figure is not clearly distinctive enough to assign a person identity, so the role is given as a man in a garland. Six or fewer people are visible.2017-05-28Close profile photo of a bare-shouldered man with long dreadlocked hair piled high, a white and red tilak on his forehead, eyes closed and head bowed. He wears a rose-and-white flower garland with gold beads over a rust-red cloth draped on his shoulder. Behind him a large gold-coloured deity murti with a raised hood-like crown stands beside blurred figures in white clothes and a seated person in the foreground. The blurred background suggests a temple ritual setting.2017-05-22
