A photograph taken under a white canopy tent with blue draped backdrop. A young girl in an olive green t-shirt and white dhoti with yellow border stands at left, smiling, with a small bindi. Beside her stands a young person in a saffron-orange draped cloth, bare-chested, wearing a white face mask, a red bindi, multiple rudraksha malas and a large silver pendant, with rudraksha armlets and bracelets. Brass vessels and ritual items are visible at the right edge on a mat, with a garland of orange flowers behind.

The man on the left is bare-chested in white dhoti with gold border, wearing a face mask, holding a conch-like shell and a small blue vessel, with a rudraksha mala. The man on the right wears a face mask, saffron cloth and orange robe, holding a large gold drum, with a dark head wrap. A wooden side table with a microphone sits in front. Colourful painted pillars with flower and bird motifs flank the scene.2021-01-28Photo of a ritual meal in a hall. A young boy with curly hair, bare-chested and wearing an orange cloth wrap with a white vertical forehead mark, leans forward and offers a handful of yellow-green food to an older youth on the right, who has a white forehead mark, rudraksha beads and an orange shawl and opens his mouth to receive it. Behind them, another person with long dark hair in an orange garment stands, and several orange-clad people sit on a floor with coloured mats and food. Maroon curtains hang in the background.2017-07-03October 14 20072007-10-14Outdoor photo on a sunny day beside a street with bare and leafy trees. A seated figure on a golden-and-multicoloured upholstered throne wears a red turban decorated with white and yellow flowers, a red robe, and a long garland of white and red flowers, raising one hand in blessing. In front, a priest in orange clothing with a rudraksha mala and a white face mask sits on the ground, bare-shouldered with white ash markings, pointing a long ladle toward a fire pit with burning wood. A small brass bowl and yellow flowers lie nearby, and a red patterned rug sits beneath the throne. The seated figure shows clear ceremonial cues of a red turban, flower garland and red robe, so the appearance-based label is Swamiji (probable).2021-01-09December 31 20082008-12-31KAILASA LOS ANGELES, USA on 1/24/20212021-01-24Two young sannyasi-clad boys sit on a wooden platform before a large golden-walled backdrop with an ornate white carved arch. Both wear black turbans, white forehead marks, rudraksha malas, and saffron-orange cloth draped over their shoulders. The boy on the left presses his palms together in prayer with eyes closed, while the boy on the right holds a yellow fruit in his hands, both wearing white face masks. Behind them is a large printed portrait of a man in a red-orange turban, gold necklaces and bracelets, raising one hand in blessing, seated on a red cushioned throne; this is a printed image, not a physical person. Potted palms flank the scene.2021-01-27
