Outdoor photo at a riverbank with a wide, hazy river behind and a sandy shore with distant crowds and tents. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on a blue cloth, placing his right hand on the head of a kneeling man in white clothes with a black belt, whose hands are pressed together in prayer. A small figure wades in the water in the distance.

A long-haired figure in an orange-saffron robe sits cross-legged on the stone steps, facing the water. Beside them, a person in white clothes bends forward in a prostration, head lowered near the seated figure's feet. The distant bank shows a row of buildings and steps. The seated figure has long dark hair and orange clothing, a presentation consistent with a person, with cues of long swept-back hair and saffron robes; the identification rests on appearance only. The white-clad figure is a devotee performing a prostration.2006-01-08January 08 20062006-01-08 +1 copiesJanuary 08 20062006-01-08January 08 20062006-01-08January 08 20062006-01-08 +1 copiesA photograph on a riverbank at the Triveni Sangam confluence, with a wide grey-brown river behind. A long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes and a pale shawl sits on a low seat, hands raised in a gesture, facing the water; a white-clad devotee bends forward in front of them, with another person's dark hair visible at the lower edge. The setting suggests a pooja or puja beside the river. Swamiji (probable): the seated saffron-robed figure has long swept-back hair and orange clothing, matching the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.2006-01-08Photograph at a riverbank ghat on a sunny day, with a wide river and distant crowds behind.
