A seated man with long dark hair, bare-chested under an orange-red wrap and wearing rudraksha malas, bracelets and a gold-coloured waist cord, smiles as he receives red fruit from a standing man in a white shirt who kneels with fruit held in both hands. Beside them, four saffron-robed young men in orange wraps and rudraksha malas stand in a room with a blue wall, a white table fan and a shelf with brass and gold ornaments. One attendant holds a plate of red fruit, and another stands in white at the right edge.

June 22 20142014-06-22A seated man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing rust-orange robes with gold borders, rudraksha mala necklaces, and ornate beaded armlets, smiles while receiving red fruit from a kneeling man in a white shirt. Behind them, saffron-robed young men with shaved heads and white forehead markings stand, one holding a rudraksha mala, and a white-clad attendant holds beads. Another person in a peach garment bows at the lower right. A red cushioned seat, a table fan and a glass cabinet with decorative objects are visible. Swamiji (probable) is the seated man, identified by his long hair, ornate ceremonial necklaces and rust-orange robes, receiving fruit in a devotee's home visit.2014-06-22 +1 copiesA photograph inside a small room with pale blue walls and a framed picture at the upper right. A smiling man with long dark hair tied in a bun sits on a red cushion, bare-chested, wearing a rust-red cloth, layered rudraksha malas, and gold armlets, holding two red apples. He is the focal figure, and a red-robed sannyasi standing beside him holds a silver-topped staff. Behind them, another saffron-robed young monastic with a shaved head and rudraksha beads holds a camera. On the left, a seated man in a white shirt wears a flower garland of pink, white and orange blossoms and kneels toward the seated figure, with a woman in a yellow sari and an older man in white also garlanded. Brass bowls, a plate, and a small steel tray sit on a striped mat on the floor. Several people are present, including the visible hands of a person at the lower right edge. The scene looks like a welcome and offering in a home visit.2014-06-22 +2 copiesJune 23 20142014-06-23 +2 copiesAnnadhan in 20142014-01-01April 24 20142014-04-24May 14 20152015-05-14A smiling man with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi stands in a hall with an arm raised, wearing a rust-orange dhoti and shawl with a gold border, a dense orange rudraksha mala and a large ceremonial gold bead necklace, and gold bangles. A young boy in white stands beside him with hands together, and devotees in white surround them. To the right, a shaven-headed man with white tilak and a dark rudraksha mala holds a red tray of apples, flowers and offerings. Swamiji (probable) cues here are the long swept-back hair, the orange and gold ceremonial clothing, and the multi-strand rudraksha and gold necklace, with the role of a central figure receiving devotees at a satsang-style gathering. The scene is a bright indoor hall with a red curtain backdrop.2013-05-18A photograph of a satsang hall where a long-haired figure in a rust-orange wrap and a rudraksha mala sits smiling on a deep red velvet throne-style chair, a folded tan towel on its arm. Beside the chair, a man in white ritual cloth with a gold chain kneels with eyes closed near a tray of fruit and sweets. Behind them, several men in white with orange lanyards stand near a doorway, and two white air coolers flank the room. The description attributes the appearance-based Swamiji (probable) label to the seated figure, whose long swept-back hair, orange wrap and rudraksha mala are visible cues.2013-05-13 +1 copiesJune 23 20132013-06-23 +3 copiesA photograph of a pada puja during a house visit.
