2003 -Glimpses From Various ProgramsDecember 2002 Rare-Collections-From-2002A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes wearing a long garland of yellow and pink flowers, smiling while seated in a wooden chair against a blue curtain decorated with flower strands. A man in a white shirt and an orange-robed attendant stand at left, and a woman in a maroon sari holds a wooden tray near him. 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 seated man in an orange-saffron robe sits on a white-draped chair in front of a backdrop of gerbera and carnation floral arrangements in orange, yellow, red and pink. He wears a long garland of white jasmine and pink flowers and has long, swept-back dark hair. A younger man in orange clothes at right holds a steel tray of pink rose petals, smiling. A third person in orange stands partly visible at the left edge. Two dark, handheld items sit near the chair base. The setting suggests a padapuja-style honouring, with the seated figure receiving flowers. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated in the chair, with the orange robe, long swept-back hair and jasmine garland as cues.2010-01-10A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with a matching orange head covering and a rudraksha mala around his neck, smiling as he extends his hands to a woman in a white sari with a red and gold border who bends toward him. Behind them, standing figures in white garments and a woman in a green sari with gold necklaces look on. Gold bangles adorn his wrist and the scene appears to be an indoor gathering with devotees receiving blessing, with a watermarked archive image.2007-09-30A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban, with a red and gold shawl, wearing a white and red flower garland and rudraksha mala, hands folded in greeting. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti bends forward with folded hands before the seated figure. Behind them a standing man in white holds a cream-coloured shawl, and a man stands at the back left with his hand raised. The seat is draped in white cloth with red cushions, flanked by orange and yellow flower arrangements and green palm fronds on a blue carpet, with a backdrop showing a large face portrait. Petals lie on the floor in front. The seated figure has distinctive saffron robes, rudraksha mala and turban cues, consistent with the page's identification of Swamiji as present, so this is an appearance-based probable identification.2004-01-04A photograph of a house visit in a plain white-walled room with a framed picture on the wall. A man in a saffron-orange robe with a white flower garland and red flower garland sits on a white-draped sofa, one hand raised toward a kneeling man in a light blue shirt and white dhoti who bows with palms pressed together. A woman in a maroon sari with gold border kneels on the right, holding offerings, and a young man in white with a yellow shawl stands behind. A red tray of fruit, flowers and sweets sits in front of the seated figure, and a patterned rug covers the floor. Appearance-based cues on the seated saffron-robed man, including the long hair and garland, make him a person; he is seated, not shown on a screen, and his identity is uncertain.2010-02-17December 2002 Rare-Collections-From-2002A night-time outdoor photo at a gathering. A man in an orange turban, sleeveless orange robe and a white and yellow flower-and-bead garland sits on an orange cushioned seat, reaching out to bless a kneeling woman in a dark head covering. Around him, several men in white shirts and orange or yellow shawls and a woman in a white sari watch and wait. A row of bulbs lights the background, with more people and bamboo fencing behind them.2010-02-18December 2002 Rare-Collections-From-2002July 25 20092009-07-25Photograph of an indoor room with pale walls and a doorway.

A man in white shirt kneels on the floor before a brass plate of fruit and flower petals, while another man in a white shirt and dhoti with a tilak on his forehead stands with arms folded, and a man in a white shirt stands at right. Floor offerings include marigold and rose petals and a plate of bananas. Consistent with a Bhoomi Puja ritual setting.2008-04-01
