A photograph of an outdoor temple courtyard where several people in orange and maroon clothing gather around a silver-covered shrine panel with carved reliefs. In the centre, a smiling man in maroon robes and a white and red flower garland holds an orange cloth that a kneeling devotee in an orange shawl bows toward. Beside them, another man in brown-orange robes with a rudraksha mala stands, and a young person in a pink jacket with an orange shawl looks on. A red and gold canopy stands behind them, and a man in an orange cap and red sweater stands at left with hands folded. Marigolds lie on the shrine ledge, and a stone figure sits at the right edge.

A photo of an outdoor temple setting where a man seated on a leopard-patterned mat wears a maroon robe, a red-and-white flower garland and a rudraksha mala, smiling as a devotee in red and orange robes bows low and another man in an orange shawl presses a hand to his chest. The seated man is a plausible in-person candidate given his swept hair, ornate beaded necklace and ceremonial garland, though this is an appearance-based label only; the bowing devotee, standing monks in orange and maroon, and a hooded person in an olive jacket are also present. Behind them are a silver-clad altar with lion reliefs, a stone lion statue, orange and red cloth, and a small crowd of onlookers.2014-01-22 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated figure with long dark hair in a bun, wearing a red-maroon shawl over dark red robes and a red-and-white flower garland, receiving an orange cloth from a kneeling bearded man in a cream kurta and olive vest with an orange shawl. Around them, shaven-headed monks in orange and saffron robes, one with a rudraksha mala, stand and sit on a mosaic-tiled floor. The seated figure sits on a silver ornate throne-like chair with a zebra-striped cushion. The seated figure has long hair and a red-maroon shawl, but no unambiguous cues, so identity is unsure. Several devotees in orange stoles watch, and a bare-shouldered monk in orange and red looks down.2014-01-22January 22 20142014-01-22Outdoor photo at a temple courtyard with a silver-framed seat and marigold offerings. A man seated on the right in maroon-red robes with a white and red flower garland laughs warmly, sitting in front of a silver-framed throne-like seat. Around him, devotees in saffron-orange shawls and robes stand and sit, including a man in brown robes with a rudraksha mala and a woman in a grey hooded vest and saffron shawl smiling. A shaved-headed man in white with a saffron shawl sits cross-legged on the left. A trident is visible at the left edge and a red canopy is overhead, with a painted deity image on the wall to the right. The scene looks like a lighthearted satsang gathering. The seated man with the garland is identified only by his appearance and role.2014-01-22February 12 20132013-02-12January 22 20142014-01-22April 22 20162016-04-22April 22 20162016-04-22Outdoor festival scene under a white and orange striped tent canopy with a yellow ceremonial umbrella.

A figure in a rust-orange turban and orange-and-brown robes, wearing a long beaded mala, reaches forward to drape a saffron shawl over the shoulders of a kneeling, bearded sannyasi in a brown knit cap and orange cloak with fringed edges, who holds his hands in anjali. Behind them, other saffron-robed sannyasis stand, one in an orange turban and one in a light orange wrap, and a gilded seat and a small flask are visible at left. The scene reads as a sannyasi honouring ceremony with a shawl offering. Four people are visible.2013-02-11
