He wears a sky-blue dhoti and matching shawl draped over one shoulder, with a heavy gold necklace of large beads and a gold armlet. His long hair falls past his shoulders and he has a red bindi on his forehead. His hands rest together in his lap, and a brass kalasha-style vessel sits on the mat at left. Behind him are orange stone steps, a red pillar and green foliage. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, gold ornate necklace and blue ceremonial clothing, seated in meditation or satsang.2010-12-26December 26 20102010-12-26December 26 20102010-12-26December 26 20102010-12-26A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-saffron robe with long, swept-back dark hair, wearing a gold necklace and a gold bangle, sitting cross-legged on an orange cushion placed on a low wooden platform, facing away from the camera toward a seated audience. A brass kalasha-style vessel with a handle sits on the matting in the foreground, and a yellow and orange marigold garland hangs on a post to the left. Behind them, about a dozen seated devotees in white dhotis and kurtas, plus one in a dark sweatshirt, sit on mats in an open courtyard beside red brick walls and a tree. The setting appears to be an outdoor temple-courtyard satsang.2010-12-28December 23 20102010-12-23February 05 20112011-02-05A seated figure in orange sannyasi robes sits cross-legged on an orange cushion over a woven mat, facing away from the camera toward a circular ash-filled fire pit with a brass kalasha-style pot beside it. Long dark hair is gathered in a bun, and a dark rudraksha-style mala hangs at the neck. Behind him, several people in white clothes walk near an orange building, while a row of seated devotees sits on mats to the right, a man in a light blue shirt among them. Pale stone sculptures and a wall stand in the background under trees. The scene reads as an outdoor ritual or meditation session.2011-04-04
