A bare-chested man on the right wears a rudraksha mala, rust-red cloth wrapped at his waist and a gold armlet, and extends his hand toward a woman in an orange sari with a red border who holds a brass kalasha with white flowers on a tray and smiles. A man in a white kurta and dhoti on the left holds a large red flower garland and a rudraksha mala, and a man in a yellow striped shirt stands at the left edge. Flowering plumeria and green shrubs line the brick walkway. This appears to be a pada puja house-visit welcome, with the figure in red cloth reading as a sannyasi and the identity of that central figure uncertain from appearance.2014-07-08A photograph of a house visit at a residential building with a sign reading LINDEN above the door.

The bare-chested figure, who appears to be a sculpted or costumed figure rather than a clearly identifiable living person, is in front of a red drape backdrop; the devotee's expression is calm and smiling. No clear identification of a person is possible from appearance alone, so the figure is described by role and attire only.2017-03-14 +1 copiesA man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands at the open door of a vehicle, lifting a long white and red flower garland toward a figure in saffron. The saffron-clad person wears a saffron-orange turban with a green leaf ornament, a saffron robe, a long rudraksha mala, and multiple beaded bracelets, and is smiling. The man holds a brass kalasha vessel in his other hand, and a second person's hands are visible at the right edge. Banana leaves and palm fronds are visible in the background. The figure has long swept-back hair and rudraksha and gold adornments, a presentation consistent with Swamiji (probable), receiving a welcome garland at the entrance of a vehicle during a reception.2014-07-02 +1 copiesA photograph of an outdoor courtyard at a house with a stone-slab path and a pergola of leafy vines behind.
