Two seated sannyasis sit side by side in a temple hall with white marble walls inscribed with Sanskrit verses and silver trishula and staff stands behind them. The man on the left wears an orange-red robe with an orange shawl, a long beard, and a white and red flower garland, and holds a hand on his knee. The woman on the right wears an orange robe, a red and orange bead mala with a gold-tone necklace, and a white flower garland, with her hands folded in her lap. Both sit on blue and patterned cushions and carpets, a tiger-print cloth lies beneath the woman, and a bare-shouldered devotee sits at the far right edge.

March 16 20142014-03-16A seated man in a reddish-maroon sannyasi-style wrap sits on a patterned cushion and tiger-striped mat before a white marble wall inscribed with devanagari verses. He wears white and red flower garlands, multiple rudraksha and red-orange bead malas, and a red bindi, with hands clasped in his lap and a bundle of white flowers. Brass trident and staff-like ornaments stand behind him at left. Behind the wall and to the right, another robed figure is partly visible. The man's appearance has some cues like rudraksha malas and garlands, but it is not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so he is listed as a seated sannyasi with uncertain identity.2014-03-16Photo 11686495May 01 20142014-05-01Two seated figures sit on a red carpet before a golden arched backdrop in a satsang setting. On the left, a smiling person in a rust-red turban and reddish-brown clothing wears a gold pendant and is draped in thick garlands of orange marigolds and pink flowers. On the right, a bearded sannyasi in an orange robe, white flower garland and dark rudraksha mala holds his hands together and speaks into a microphone, with an orange tilak on his forehead. Between them are two ornate silver-gilt low stands. Behind them, a large portrait shows a smiling figure in a red turban and rudraksha beads, hands raised in blessing, seated before a tiger-skin cushion, with a red kalasha-style cushion beside it. A purple backdrop and floral arrangement complete the stage.2015-10-11October 08 20172017-10-08A seated group gathers on a red patterned carpet and orange floor cushions in a plain room with tiled walls. On the left, a bearded man in orange robes and a shaved-headed man in orange with a sash sit cross-legged. Central figures include an elderly bearded sadhu in orange with a long white beard and a white-robed sadhu with long grey hair. At right, a sadhu in a red turban and orange-marigold garlands sits beside another in dark red robes. In the foreground, a shorthaired person in a white dhoti with gold border sits with their back partly turned, flanked by people with dark hair seen from behind, and a person in orange at the right edge. Several seated figures wear rudraksha malas and vibhuti marks on their foreheads.2015-09-10 +1 copiesA seated man in a saffron-orange wrap and leopard-print lower cloth, wearing a long pink and white rose garland with green leaves, sits on a red velvet throne with a gold lion-head armrest. He holds a folded white paper out to a kneeling devotee in a white shirt and orange shawl, whose hands are pressed together in anjali. A tall silver trident stands beside them, with a gold-toned base. Behind them a banner shows temple imagery in red and orange, and women in orange and white stand in the background. Appearance cues are ambiguous, so the seated figure's identity is uncertain.2014-05-11A seated man with long dreadlocks, a small vertical tilak on his forehead, a rudraksha mala and gold chain, and an orange-saffron shawl over bare shoulders rests his right hand on the bald head of a kneeling man in white clothes and an orange shawl, who has his palms pressed together in anjali and a rudraksha mala. Behind them is a gold-carved wooden throne with leopard-print cushions and a gold deity murti sits at the left edge. The seated man appears to be a person based on the long dreadlocks, saffron shawl, gold necklace and rudraksha mala, conferring a blessing or initiation on the kneeling devotee.2017-10-06September 10 20152015-09-10 +1 copiesOctober 16 20172017-10-16June 23 20142014-06-23 +2 copies
