Photo inside a stone-pillared temple corridor with a crowd behind a metal barrier. A bearded man with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and white tripundra marks wears a rust-brown robe, a thick rudraksha mala and a multicolour flower garland, and is gesturing in conversation. Beside him a man in a white shirt points forward with his arm extended. A shirtless man in a white-and-striped dhoti wears a bead necklace, and several people in orange and saffron clothing with gold necklaces and white forehead marks stand nearby. A fluorescent tube light and a string of small lights frame the arch overhead.

A bearded man with long swept-back hair and reddish-brown wrap garments is garlanded with a thick white and red flower garland and gestures with his hand while standing among devotees. Beside him, a man in a red-orange robe with a red rosette badge and a bald head with a large ear ornament stands with bare shoulders and sacred bead necklaces. Around them are men in white dhotis, a man in a green sports shirt, and a man in a black-and-white jersey. Two figures in red robes stand in the background holding a small offering tray. Probable Swamiji is the garlanded central figure, based on long hair, distinctive dark maroon ceremonial clothing and rudraksha malas.2017-02-06A photograph of an indoor hallway with a blue-painted wall and a framed picture above. A bearded man with long swept-back dark hair and a white tilak on his forehead stands at centre, wearing a brown-maroon robe, a dense rudraksha mala, and a long white and yellow garland with red flowers. He smiles and extends his hand toward an older man in a white shirt and cream dhoti, who holds a small silver vessel. Behind them stand a man in orange robes with long hair and rudraksha beads, a man in a pink-striped shirt and white dhoti, and a few other devotees. A white-clad figure in the foreground is partially out of focus. A statue of a figure in a white shirt with a rudraksha garland and orange cloth stands behind the group. The scene appears to be a ritual exchange of offerings.2018-03-01May 24 20122012-05-24
