May 17 20122012-05-17A vintage black-and-white photograph of six men posed in an indoor room with light curtains behind them. Seated in front on a sofa is a bare-chested man with a gold-toned pendant, a large rudraksha mala hanging to his waist and a white cloth draped over his shoulders, with a light-coloured turban-like wrap on his head. Behind him stand five men: one bare-chested on the far left with a beaded necklace and white cloth around his waist, two in light short-sleeved shirts, one in a plaid shirt, and one in a white T-shirt on the far right with a wristwatch. The seated man's appearance matches the page's reference to a person, but his identity is uncertain from appearance alone, so he is described by role and marked unsure.2012-05-24A black-and-white photograph of an old printed snapshot held up in a hand. Five men pose in a room with curtains behind them. A seated man in front wears a light head covering, a white cloth and a beaded rudraksha-style mala around his neck. Behind him, four men stand at a sofa or bench: one bare-chested with a beaded necklace and white dhoti, one in a white shirt, one in a checked shirt, and one in a white T-shirt smiling. Watermarked archive text is omitted.2012-05-24May 24 20122012-05-24A framed sepia photograph of a group portrait hangs on a dark wooden frame with gold ornamental décor behind it. Eleven people are arranged in two rows against a dark draped backdrop: standing figures at the back, some bare-chested with rudraksha malas, one with a white beard and turban, and seated men in white dhotis and shirts in front. A seated man in the centre wears a saffron-coloured shawl and a rudraksha mala, with a white-bearded man holding a walking stick at right. Two young boys sit in front, and several metal vessels stand on the floor. The photograph is a printed copy inside a mount, with a studio mark at lower right.2012-05-17A black-and-white photograph of a seated group on a stage with a white canopy and dark fringed valance. A seated figure in the centre wears a white garment and a long beaded garland, holds a sheet of paper, and sits in front of a microphone stand. Beside him, a bald man with bare upper body wears a white cloth wrap and sits on a bench. Standing behind them are several men in white shirts and dhotis, one with a microphone. A framed picture of a deity murti sits on a stand at the right edge. The image is a grainy, faded older print.2012-05-24May 24 20122012-05-24 +1 copiesA photograph of a group of men standing in a stone-walled corridor beside a doorway with an ornate decorated frame. A central figure in an orange-saffron robe and a long gold-beaded necklace with a large pendant stands between men bare-chested and wearing white dhotis with red borders, several with rudraksha malas. The man in orange has long, swept-back hair and appears to be the focal figure of the group, with the others standing respectfully around him. The setting looks like an ancient palace or temple passage with worn granite blocks.2006-11-10November 10 20062006-11-10November 10 20062006-11-10Two old sepia photographs are displayed against a dark red velvet cloth beneath an ornate gold-carved frame. The larger photo in a black wooden frame shows five men seated outdoors before a whitewashed building with lattice windows; they wear white dhotis and bare upper bodies, with rudraksha malas and sacred ash, one seated figure in white cloth with a shaved head. The smaller mounted photo on cream card shows a group of older robed men, women in saris and children seated before a temple-like setting with brass vessels in front. Both are vintage studio-style group portraits.2012-05-17November 09 20062006-11-09
