A smiling man in a red and gold turban with a central jewel stands with palms pressed together in anjali mudra. He wears an orange silk garment with a maroon sash draped over his shoulder, layered gold necklaces, gold armlets and bangles. A green draped canopy with gold trim and a gold-painted ratha/chariot structure with garlands stand behind him under a shaded colonnade.2011-10-26October 17 20112011-10-17A man with long dark swept-back hair and a red bindi stands in an open pavilion with red pillars, palms pressed together at chest level. He wears an orange and red draped garment with gold-edged borders, multi-strand rudraksha-style red and black beaded malas, a gold pendant, and matching beaded armbands and wrist bands. Behind him are blurred palm trees and greenery. At the left edge, a partly visible golden figure with raised arms, possibly a deity murti, and a figure in yellow silk sit beside him.2011-10-23A man stands in front of a green cloth backdrop at an outdoor ceremonial setting, wearing a large maroon turban with gold border and a central jewel, a maroon shawl draped over his shoulder, an orange silk dhoti with gold-bordered maroon pleats, a heavy gold necklace of bead-like pendants, gold armlets and gold bangles, with a red tilak on his forehead. His hands are clasped at his waist and he smiles. To his right a partly visible golden figure and a person in yellow and blue clothing appear at the edge of the frame, with a gold chariot-like structure behind. Leafy plants frame the left side. The orange-and-maroon attire and gold jewellery match the ceremonial dress of a Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam costume presentation, and the figure's appearance is a probable candidate for a person based on the orange silk, turban and gold necklace.2011-10-26A standing man in an open-air temple courtyard wears a saffron-orange turban and a royal-blue dhoti with an orange-and-gold sash draped over his shoulder and a beaded necklace at his chest. He raises one hand in a blessing gesture while walking past a red-cushioned wooden chair. In the right foreground, a golden-bronze statue of a deity with multiple arms and a crown, wearing a yellow and blue cloth, faces away from the camera. Banana leaves, palms and a grey stone sculpture garden surround the scene, with a small shrine visible at the right edge.2011-10-28October 18 20112011-10-18A man in a yellow dhoti and orange-red shawl walks under a open-sided canopy hung with striped tassel banners, beside a gold-toned deity murti with multiple arms holding a trident and a ritual object, draped in yellow cloth and a red garland. The man has long dark hair, a tilak on his forehead, a rudraksha-style necklace and bangles. Palm trees, potted plants and a red wall stand behind. Appearance is consistent with a person figure, qualified by long swept hair, ornate dress, and rudraksha necklace, presented as a walking devotee in temple grounds.2011-11-04April 08 20132013-04-08A standing man with long swept-back black hair and a red bindi stands barefoot on a stone slab with eyes closed and palms pressed together in anjali mudra before a large banyan tree with aerial roots. He wears an orange dhoti-style garment with a blue and gold-bordered sash and dhoti pleats, layered beaded necklaces, and gold armlets and bangles. Ornate dark-blue and gold-bordered cloth drapes the waist. A short stone wall stands behind him, and the setting appears to be an outdoor ashram or temple grounds.2011-10-17April 23 20132013-04-23A barefoot man with long dark hair walks along a stone ledge in an open pavilion. He wears a saffron-orange draped garment with gold-bordered trim, a belt, a beaded necklace of red and gold beads, and bangles on his arms. A white tilak and red dot mark his forehead. Behind him, a gilded deity murti and a figure in yellow robes are seated; a white statue stands in the background.
