Outdoor ritual photo at a golden temple-style setting with carved lattice panels. A bare-chested priest in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, with long matted hair and a rudraksha mala, leans over a tall golden pillar wrapped in green and white cloth, flower garlands in pink and yellow, and a bundle of grass and leaves on top, adjusting it with both hands. On the left a young man in orange cloth and a beaded necklace stands with palms pressed together in namaskar. On the right a woman in red-and-orange clothing and bangles smiles while touching the pillar. Clay pots sit at left. No visible a person identification cues beyond ritual dress.2021-05-17A woman in a maroon-red sari with a matching red turban and a garland of multicolored flowers smiles while raising her hand in greeting beside a silver kalasha topped with a yellow cloth and flower garlands. Around her, shaven-headed priests in orange and saffron robes with rudraksha malas stand near her; one priest in orange holds the silver pot. Other people in white ritual clothes, orange saris and red-and-gold robes stand behind, with ceremonial umbrellas and poles at the upper left. The setting is outdoors under trees.2013-12-27June 19 20142014-06-19Outdoor ritual beside a tall copper-coloured ceremonial pillar wrapped in a red cloth and draped with yellow, orange and white flower garlands, with palm trees behind. A man with long swept-back hair, wearing a saffron-orange robe and a rudraksha mala, holds a small handbell in one hand and raises a ritual object in the other. Beside him a shaved-headed man in orange robes presses his palms together, and another orange-robed figure stands behind the pillar. A young man in orange sits at the lower right edge. The long hair, ornate ritual attire and rudraksha cues fit the Swamiji (probable) appearance profile, and the figure is physically present, so the swamiji field reflects that candidate, with the visible ritual setting and other orange-robed devotees described by role.2008-03-23February 27 20142014-02-27Photograph of a ceremonial moment at a temple setting. A younger man with long swept-back dark hair, orange garments, and a red-and-white garland stands at left with palms pressed together in namaskar. Facing him, an older bald priest in orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a red-and-white garland holds a silver cup toward him. Beside them stands a golden ornate lamp stand and a golden peacock-headed throne canopy draped with orange cloth and garlands. Two people are visible.2012-04-27 +1 copiesFebruary 06 20142014-02-06Outdoor procession scene with a crowd of men. At centre, a man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala with gold bead ornaments is being garlanded with a long red, yellow and white flower garland; a man in a white shirt helps place it. Around him, several saffron-clad sannyasis wear wooden rudraksha malas and gold bead necklaces, one holding a ceremonial staff. Men in white shirts and white dhotis with red-gold borders stand nearby, and a trident and yellow banner appear above against trees. The centre figure shows distinctive saffron robes and mala cues, but his identity is uncertain from appearance alone.2013-11-11January 03 20082008-01-03March 23 20082008-03-23June 19 20142014-06-19 +1 copiesOctober 01 20172017-10-01
