September 14 20152015-09-14July 30 20112011-07-30Photograph of a room where several saffron-robed monastics sit and stand with a group of uniformed police officers. On the left, a seated figure with long dark hair tied up, a red headband, layered rudraksha and bead necklaces and an orange-red wrap talks with an older seated man with a shaved head, white ash markings, a gold necklace and rudraksha malas. Behind them, younger shaven-headed men in orange garments with beaded necklaces stand. On the right, two officers in khaki uniforms and caps with belts and insignia listen, while a man in a white shirt and another man stand nearby.2012-05-18May 21 20122012-05-21July 27 20122012-07-27Indoor hall with a red and green mat floor where a crowd sits in rows. In the foreground, a bare-shouldered figure in a red sleeveless top and orange shawl, with long dark hair tied back, leans forward to hold the shoulder of a kneeling man in a khaki uniform shirt with a sergeant-style shoulder patch. Another khaki-uniformed man kneels beside him, smiling. Standing behind them, a man in a white shirt wears a dark beaded mala and a police officer in khaki uniform stands at the back. Several white-clad volunteers and seated devotees in blue and green saris fill the background. The robed figure with long swept-back hair and orange-red clothing and mala is a probable Swamiji (probable), shown in an interactive blessing with the kneeling officer.2009-08-08May 18 20122012-05-18September 14 20152015-09-14September 14 20152015-09-14A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with a red undershirt and a rudraksha mala, sitting on an ornate gold-carved throne upholstered in red and dark tiger-stripe fabric. He smiles while a uniformed official in khaki with a radio clipped to his belt bends forward toward him, apparently handing over an item from a tray on a small table. Around the room, a bearded man in orange with glasses and a rudraksha mala stands at left, a younger man in white with an orange cloth stands behind, and another man in orange stands at right with hands joined. A marigold garland lies on the throne arm and the room has plain cream walls.2009-08-09A photograph of a seated figure in a red and orange-saffron robe with a red turban and a rudraksha-style bead necklace, on an ornate gold throne with lion-head armrests, speaking into a microphone on a stand. Standing to the right are uniformed police officers, one in a dark blue cap and khaki shirt and another in khaki with a badge, alongside men in saffron-orange shawls and a man in a green t-shirt. Behind them stand a bald man with a white tilak and white beaded garland and a long-haired man in saffron with a garland. Pink and yellow roses sit in the foreground and a gold-decorated shrine with a deity murti appears in the background.2015-09-15A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-saffron robe and bare feet, smiling with long dark hair, sitting on a red upholstered sofa with floral crocheted antimacassars. Facing them is a uniformed police officer in khaki, seated on the sofa arm with hands clasped, wearing a wristwatch and a holstered belt. Behind them a group of about six men stand in a room with a tiled floor and a wooden coffee table, some in casual shirts and caps, one in a red cap, and a uniformed officer at left. The setting appears to be a sitting room in an official or office space.2009-01-08
