Around them a group of young men in white t-shirts and jeans, some with white and blue lanyards, clap and smile, and several men in white kurta-style clothing and women in white and blue saris stand and applaud. The scene reads as a birthday or cake-cutting moment during an ashram gathering.2009-12-25A photograph of a crowded indoor hall with white fabric canopy and decorated pillars. In the foreground a man in a bright orange sleeveless robe with long swept-back dark hair smiles and extends his hand to greet a line of men in white shirts and a man in a blue shirt; one of the devotees holds a red fruit. A person in orange with a rudraksha mala stands at the right edge, and a background banner shows an orange-robed figure.

On the right, a smiling man with long swept-back hair wears an orange robe and a white and red flower garland, and extends his hand toward a group of men. a person is shown in appearance-based cues: long swept-back hair, saffron-orange robe, and a flower garland. Several men in white shirts and dhotis stand in front, with hands pressed together in greeting or reaching forward. Behind them, a man in a white kurta, another in orange, and a bald man in white stand near a backdrop painted with a tree.

A kneeling man in white dress with a brown shawl bows with palms pressed together, and an older man with glasses in white clothes and a mala stands at left with folded hands. Beside the blessing figure, a man in an orange robe holds a silver tray with offerings. A white-shirted man stands behind, and a projection screen and orange and yellow banner hang on the wall.

Behind them a man in a white kurta stands near a woman in orange, and a backdrop shows a painted green tree. The orange-robed man has distinctive long hair and saffron clothing; the presentation is consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, so this is a probable identification from appearance cues rather than confirmed by the image.2009-11-19A photograph of an indoor gathering where a man in a saffron-orange robe with a long rudraksha mala is reaching out to touch the forehead of a devotee, who has his palms pressed together in namaste. Several other devotees in white shirts and dhotis stand with hands folded in anjali, and a priest in white with a red-bordered cloth and shaved head stands at right holding a silver tray with gold items. A wall backdrop shows a deity image with an orange-curtained alcove, and a hanging orange and red decoration is visible at top. The rudraksha-garlanded man in orange is a candidate for a person based on his saffron robe and mala, and he is giving blessing to devotees.2010-11-30November 19 20092009-11-19November 19 20092009-11-19September 30 20072007-09-30
