A seated figure in orange-red robes with a flower garland and a red-and-white ceremonial headdress raises a long silver staff while seated on an orange cushion. Around them, saffron-robed sannyasi attendants with shaved heads and rudraksha malas stand and sit, and a shaved-headed priest in white and orange kneels nearby. In the foreground, a man in white shirt and trousers with an orange shawl and mala sits cross-legged, a woman in a pink and gold sari with white jasmine in her hair offers her hands over a brass plate, and a young man in a checked shirt sits with palms joined. Behind them stands a wooden cabinet with framed pictures and a small shrine.

Before him on a brass tray, younger devotees in white garments with orange-clad attendants kneel and pour liquid from a small white bowl; fruit and flowers sit on the tray. Standing around are women in red and maroon saris and men in white shirts and orange robes with rudraksha beads, some with hands pressed in namaskar. The room has yellow walls and a window with grills, and a small red decoration hangs at right. The seated figure has distinctive long swept-back hair and ceremonial adornment, consistent with the page's reference to a person.2014-07-04 +1 copiesJune 23 20142014-06-23July 02 20142014-07-02 +1 copiesA home interior where a seated figure in saffron and maroon robes, with long dark hair, rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, gold bangles and a garland of white flowers, receives padapuja from a kneeling devotee in white.

Two saffron-clad attendants with white forehead bands kneel nearby, while a priest in saffron with a shaved head pours from a vessel at the lower left. Family members in red, pink and maroon clothing stand and kneel along the back wall, and a man photographs the scene. Framed pictures hang on the walls and orange cloth covers the chair.2014-06-20A photograph inside a small room with yellow walls and a framed flower-garden picture. A figure seated on an orange-cushioned couch, wearing a brown-red robe, a long white flower garland with green leaves, and white vibhuti marks on the forehead, holds up a silver trident. Before him, a man in a white dhoti and orange shawl kneels beside a woman in a cream sari who bends over a brass plate of offerings with red fruit. Standing behind them, several young men in orange and white robes with rudraksha malas and a woman in white with folded hands watch. A framed portrait with a flower garland hangs on the wall. The seated figure's appearance (white-streaked hair, garlanded robe, trident) is consistent with a person presence, but this is an appearance-based label only. Roughly ten to twelve people are visible.2014-07-04 +1 copiesJune 21 20142014-06-21 +1 copies
