Behind them, several people in orange and white clothes and a woman in grey with a dark pendant necklace stand with hands pressed together, under green trees with a carved pink stone structure at the upper left.2007-01-09May 06 20162016-05-06 +1 copiesOutdoor ceremony under a white canopy with purple drapery hung with yellow and orange marigold garlands. A bare-chested sannyasi in orange cloth, with long tousled hair, leans forward to accept an object from a shaved-headed monk in orange robes who holds it with both hands. A seated man with long dark hair, a red garment and cream shawl, wearing a flower garland, smiles at the exchange and appears to be Swamiji (probable) on the basis of his long swept-back hair, red and gold ceremonial dress, garland and seated position of honour. Seated beside him are orange-robed monks and white-clad elders on red-cushioned chairs, with onlookers standing behind them.2007-08-09A seated man with long, wavy black hair and a pale vertical forehead mark wears a loose saffron-orange shawl and faces right toward a microphone on a metal boom stand. Behind him sit several devotees in orange shawls, including a woman with a red bindi and a man in white with folded hands, and an older woman with grey hair. The setting appears to be an outdoor satsang or discourse gathering.2008-07-03Photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange turban, with a red tilak mark on his forehead and long dark hair falling to his shoulders. He wears a long rudraksha mala, with the beads spaced along a chain, and sits on a silver-framed chair with red and gold upholstery, hands clasped in his lap, gazing to the side. Behind him a standing attendant in orange robes with long wavy hair leans in. On the left a older man in white clothes with a thin chain sits. Behind them is a large painted backdrop of a saffron-robed seated figure beside a pink temple tower. A red draped table is in the foreground. A translucent purple logo appears in the lower left. The seated figure in orange matches appearance cues of a person, with turban, rudraksha mala and saffron robes, though the identity is uncertain.2010-01-13August 03 20082008-08-03August 09 20072007-08-09August 09 20072007-08-09A photograph of a sannyasa initiation ritual in a hall with a red-carpeted stage. A long-haired man bare-chested in orange cloth sits on a red-cushioned throne-like seat with a golden lion-form base, leaning forward to touch the head of a younger initiate in orange robes who kneels before him. Behind them, many shaved-headed monks in saffron robes sit in rows, several holding tall bamboo staffs with small orange flags. Rose petals are scattered on the floor, a brass pot sits nearby, and a gilded deity murti stands at the right edge. The long hair, swept-back style and orange cloth of the seated figure are a person cues, and the page indicates his presence.2006-08-22January 29 20102010-01-29
