A vase of yellow flowers, a red dish and a glass of water sit on a small table. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair and saffron robes with a flower garland, and the page flags him as present, so this is an appearance-based label only.2010-01-19A photo in a plain room with white walls, a wall fan and a dark wooden door. A man in a cream shirt, white dhoti and orange shawl holds a fruit basket with red ribbon while a person in a gold-bordered shawl, maroon dhoti and red-and-gold head cloth receives it, both smiling. A man in maroon robes with gold borders and a rudraksha mala stands at left. Two upholstered chairs and a sofa frame the scene, with a cardboard gift box of sweets with red ribbon on a small table at right. The head-cloth figure is an appearance-based candidate for a person but the identity is uncertain, so the role is described as a person receiving an offering.2015-05-30 +1 copiesIndoor evening devotional scene under a corrugated roof with fluorescent lights and a green-edged wall. In the foreground, a woman in an orange-and-white flower garland and rust-coloured garment kneels with folded hands before a wooden tray of offerings, while a man in a white shirt and spectacles stands beside her with palms joined. Behind them, several men in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha or gold neckwear, some with shaved heads, stand around the scene, and a man in a white shirt stands at the left edge.
