Indoor ceremonial scene in a room with plum velvet drapes and a white wall with an air conditioner. In the centre, a man in a red and gold brocade shawl over a red garment stands with his head bowed, facing a seated figure partly visible at right who is draped with a pink and white flower garland. Behind him a bald priest in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with white forehead marks and a rudraksha mala walks past, and another attendant in orange carries a tray of red and yellow flower garlands at left. A golden lion figure sits on a dark cushioned seat at right. The setting suggests a devotional reception or satsang gathering.2013-02-27A photograph of a ceremonial honouring in an indoor room with burgundy drapes and a white wall with an air conditioner. A man in an orange-red and gold brocade shawl bends forward with his head lowered toward a person in front of him. That person, wearing a long-haired style, a rudraksha-adorned figure with bare upper body, a red and white flower garland, and orange cloth around the waist, holds the shawl and places a hand on the bowing man's head. Behind them stands a shaved-headed man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala, hands folded. A golden lion sculpture sits at the right edge beside a green leaf tray. The image is a photo of a blessing or honouring moment with no visible fire or deity shrine.2013-02-27February 27 20132013-02-27A photograph in an indoor hall with plum velvet drapes and a white wall with an air conditioner. A man in a pink and gold brocade shawl bows forward while a robed figure in a saffron-orange dhoti with a crisp white shawl drapes or places the shawl over him. The standing figure on the right, bare-chested with a rudraksha mala and a pink and white flower garland, has long swept-back hair and a headset microphone, and holds the shawl with both hands. Another robed attendant in orange stands behind, and a golden lion statue sits at the right edge on a draped table with a small flower arrangement. This appears to show a shawl-honouring gesture. Swamiji (probable): the flower-garlanded figure on the right has long swept-back hair, a mala and an orange garment, consistent with the page's reference, though identification is by appearance only.2013-02-27Photograph of a satsang stage with purple velvet drapes and a gold-framed throne draped with a tiger-striped cloth. A man with long swept-back hair, bare-chested, wearing a pink and white flower garland, a gold-and-blue ceremonial sash, and a tilak on his forehead, smiles while holding a small object near a monk in an orange robe with his back to the camera. Behind them, a bald man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala stands holding a notebook. A white sofa and tablet sit on the stage.2013-02-27January 09 20122012-01-09 +1 copiesJanuary 16 20142014-01-16A man in a bright orange shawl, bare-chested and with hair tied back, places a long garland of red and yellow flowers over the head of a seated figure. The seated figure has long swept-back dark hair, a crown-like ornate gold chair behind, a brown-orange garment, and gold necklaces and bangles; a gold-embossed throne with purple velvet drapery stands in the background. A second person is partly visible at left. The scene resembles a garlanding honour at a satsang setting; the seated figure matches the visual cues described for a person, with long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold ornaments and a throne.2013-02-27A photograph of a ritual exchange in an ashram hall with orange-painted walls.

A clean-shaven, shaved-headed man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala, white forehead markings and a small head microphone holds a yellow-cloth-covered tray with flowers. Behind them, a man in white dhoti and orange shawl stands beside a silver kalasha with a green leaf. On the far left, a young attendant in maroon and gold holds a plate of red flowers. Desc notes: the long-haired man shows compatible presentation cues but identity is uncertain.2013-03-07February 27 20132013-02-27January 22 20142014-01-22 +2 copiesOctober 18 20152015-10-18
