Outdoor rooftop construction site under a corrugated metal canopy with a yellow wall panel and hanging ropes. A man with long dark hair, bare-chested under a rust-red wrap and with a red bindi, stands with one hand on his hip and smiles toward devotees. Two men in saffron-orange tops stand at left, one with a rudraksha-style bead necklace, and a woman in a white sari stands behind him. Buckets, a rolled cloth and palm trees fill the background.

Surrounding them are men in white dhotis and white shirts, one with a red shawl and rudraksha-style beads, a woman in a yellow shawl at left, and a man with eyeglasses at right, all standing attentively. The scene resembles a ground-blessing ceremony.2008-04-01A photograph of two saffron-clad men walking along a dirt path under a bright orange umbrella held by an unseen attendant, beneath a corrugated metal roof and steel framework. The man in front has long dark hair, a saffron cloth wrapped over one shoulder with gold borders, and multiple rudraksha malas around his neck, and smiles while carrying a small object. Behind him a barefoot man in saffron with a rudraksha mala walks alongside. Behind them, people in white dhotis and white shirts stand and sit near concrete blocks and corrugated sheets, with a man in a red shawl on the right. Swamiji (probable) is the man in front, identified only by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron garments and rudraksha malas, in a procession-like setting.2013-07-14July 13 20132013-07-13A photograph of several men on a terracotta-tiled courtyard in front of a pink and yellow boundary wall, with palm trees and a pale sky behind. In the centre, a man with long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and a reddish-orange shawl over an orange garment stands beside a second man in orange robes wearing a pale green head covering. Two men in white dhotis and white shirts stand to the left, one with folded arms and one raising a hand. A younger man at right wears a white dhoti with a gold border, a green head cover and carries a yellow bag.2012-05-22A photograph of an open-sided construction area with a partly built structure of grey concrete blocks and bare red earth. On the right, a smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair wears an orange saffron wrap with red borders, a rudraksha mala around his neck, and holds a long wooden staff with a brass tip. He appears to be a probable Swamiji, given the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala. On the left, a barefoot woman with light hair wears a white sari with an orange shawl and carries a small brass vessel, walking along concrete blocks toward a water-filled pit. Behind her, a man in white kurta and dhoti also walks toward the pit, and further back other men in white shirts and orange-trimmed white garments are present.2006-10-21A photograph of two seated men on orange cushioned chairs at an outdoor venue with a red brick tiered stand behind them. On the left, an elderly man with long white hair and a long white beard wears an orange robe and sits barefoot with one leg raised. On the right, a man with a crown-like swept-back hairstyle, red tilak on his forehead, gold armlet and gold necklace wears a red-orange garment. Behind them, a man in a dark robe climbs the steps and other staff move along the stairs; a chain-link fence, string lights and a metal box are visible.2013-11-06
