Outdoor ritual photo of two men in saffron-orange robes seated before a stone temple wall. The figure at centre has long, swept-back dark hair, a red bindi on his forehead, and a gold rudraksha-style mala with ceremonial gold beads on his chest; he looks down toward a brass tray of yellow flowers and a silver bowl of red and white petals. A microphone on a boom stand is positioned before him. The man on the left, with a shaved head, glasses, a white tilak and an orange turban-style wrap, reaches into the silver bowl, which suggests a puja or ritual offering in progress. Gold bangles are visible on the wrist.2009-07-09July 09 20092009-07-09July 09 20092009-07-09July 09 20092009-07-09September 29 20062006-09-29July 09 20092009-07-09Close-up photograph of a smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair, a red kumkum mark and white vibhuti on his forehead, wearing an orange saffron garment.

A microphone stand is to his right, and behind him are a painted pillar with floral and geometric patterns and a brick wall under a bright sky. Probable Swamiji: the long swept-back hair, saffron robe and ceremonial tilak match the appearance cues, and he is the single person present, seated and performing an offering-related action with the flower plate.2007-02-15July 09 20092009-07-09A smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead sits before a microphone on a stand at right. He wears a sleeveless orange saffron garment draped over the shoulders and multiple rudraksha mala strands across his chest.
