May 30 20182018-05-30A photograph of an outdoor temple ritual. In the foreground, a man with long swept-back dark hair and a sandalwood forehead mark sits cross-legged on an orange cloth, wearing an orange robe and a long ceremonial mala of golden-brown beads; his hands rest folded in his lap. Beside him, a shaved-headed man in orange robes and a similar bead mala sits with hands joined in prayer near a brass plate holding flowers, a kumkum-dusted offering, small pots and a ritual lamp. Behind them, more orange-robed participants stand and kneel with hands folded, and white-clad devotees fill the background near a stone structure, with cameras and onlookers visible at the upper right under a thatched shelter.2010-12-29A photograph of an outdoor temple courtyard with a gilded shrine behind. A long-haired man in orange robes and a leopard-print shawl stands on a red carpet, facing a man in a white shirt who is reaching toward him. To the left, saffron-robed priests carry silver trays of offerings, and white-clad attendants stand nearby. Behind them, a deity murti with flower garlands sits in a gold-framed shrine. A gold throne with red cushions stands at right, and a golden pedestal holds an offering tray in the foreground. The man in the leopard shawl matches the presentation of Swamiji (probable) through his long swept-back hair, saffron robes and distinctive leopard shawl.2010-11-09February 14 20082008-02-14May 30 20182018-05-30May 30 20182018-05-30October 12 20162016-10-12March 10 20132013-03-10October 15 20172017-10-15July 04 20122012-07-04January 03 20172017-01-03May 30 20182018-05-30
