In the centre, a man in orange dhoti and shawl, with a tilak, a rudraksha-style mala and heavy gold necklaces, stands with palms pressed together in namaste beside a gold-framed stone platform holding a small silver-coloured figure garlanded with white and pink flowers. Other people in white dhotis and orange or red garments stand and sit nearby; a woman in white and a man in white at right hold flowers and offerings. Brass bells, a kalasha-style brass vessel and offering plates lie on the table. Banners with printed text hang on the tent walls and a tassel decoration hangs overhead.2013-02-08A photo of a ceremonial gathering in an indoor hall. A central man in a rust-red and gold-bordered dhoti and shawl stands with palms joined in anjali, smiling, wearing a long rudraksha mala and a red-and-white flower garland; he has long swept-back hair and a bindi-like mark on his forehead. Swamiji (probable) cues: long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and ceremonial garland, with a saffron-toned ritual dress. Beside a golden-and-red throne with cushions, a golden lion sculpture, a gold kirtimukha-style arch and a golden umbrella, two trishula staffs stand upright. Several devotees in matching saffron and orange clothing stand behind, some holding offerings, a bowl of yellow marigold petals sits on the floor, and a red garland decorates the throne base. A pedestal fan and a floral arch frame the scene.2015-07-17 +1 copiesInside a red-draped tent, a long-haired figure in saffron clothing and a multi-coloured flower garland sits on a red mat at right, extending a hand toward a woman bending low in a black-and-blue outfit with a rudraksha mala. Around them, devotees in saffron and white with tilak and gold-trimmed dhotis press palms together, and a woman in a pink-and-white floral shawl joins hands. A cameraman films from a tripod. Strings of flags and lamps hang above.2016-04-27Indoor temple-hall scene with a seated figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban at lower left, wearing a gold necklace and extending a hand to a devotee who is bending forward to receive contact. Behind, a priest in saffron dhoti and orange shawl with rudraksha mala stands beside a white-clad woman. Standing men in white shirts and white dhotis, some with yellow or pink shawls, watch and clap. A decorated deity murti with marigold and yellow garlands stands at upper left, and red curtains hang on the back wall. The figure at lower left shows distinctive saffron attire, a turban and a gold necklace, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity, so the seated figure is treated as unsure.2014-10-26June 28 20142014-06-28 +1 copiesSeptember 28 20152015-09-28April 14 20182018-04-14
