A photograph of a ceremony at night under a decorated canopy. A man seated on the left, with long hair in a bun, rudraksha malas and a gold ceremonial necklace, wears a red-orange shawl over a leopard-print garment and holds a small silver cup while his eyes are closed. He is seated near a silver throne-like chair. In the foreground on the right, a silver kalasha vessel and a silver shivalinga-like object sit on a silver tray beside a tall pole garlanded with orange and white flowers. Behind, a camera on a tripod and bright blue stage lighting are visible. Someone in white is partly visible in the background. The man's appearance suggests a person, with rudraksha, gold necklace, long hair and a red-orange shawl, but identity is uncertain.

He has a shaved head with a white and yellow tilak on his forehead, wears a long rudraksha mala and a gold deity pendant, and is wrapped in a red cloth over a leopard-print sarong. Behind him are garlands of marigolds and white flowers, a silver-and-gold ornate backdrop, and a small brass deity figure and glass bowls sit on a red-draped tray. Other people are blurred in the background. The page indicates a person appearance, but the visible appearance is not a reliable match, so identity is left uncertain.2014-05-20May 20 20142014-05-20May 20 20142014-05-20 +1 copiesJuly 15 20132013-07-15A seated man in an orange-red saffron cloth with a gold ceremonial necklace and rudraksha mala sits with eyes closed in a ritual setting. A gold-yellow tilak marks his forehead and a red dot sits between his brows. Before him are a glass vessel, silver bowls, red flowers and a small brass figure on a silver tray, with a lit oil lamp flame behind. Marigold and white flower garlands hang beside an ornate silver-embossed throne-like seat. A second person in red clothing is partly visible at the left edge. The Swamiji (probable) cues are the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace.2014-05-20A photograph of a person seated at a ceremonial table during an evening ritual, ringing a small silver handbell held in the right hand.
