Several wear white shirts and dhotis, others pale blue shirts with white dhotis, and a few wear orange, pink or yellow shawls. One man in an orange cap sits at the front with a white outfit and a rudraksha mala. Others sit on a mat at the front right, and a man in a white kurta with a yellow shawl stands at the far right. A ceiling fan and a black speaker are visible at the upper right, and a small bird logo appears at the upper left.2009-07-09July 09 20092009-07-09A photograph of a performance on a marble stage in a dim hall. A row of men in white and light-blue kurtas, dhotis and orange or yellow shawls stand and clap, several holding small cymbals or hand drums. One man in a yellow-orange dhoti plays a large drum slung at his waist. A barefoot dancer in a white shirt and lavender dhoti bends forward in the foreground near a red object. Seated men in white are visible at the right edge, and a ceiling fan hangs above. This looks like a traditional folk or devotional performance; no a person candidate is clearly visible.2009-07-09November 13 20152015-11-13Night photograph of a procession on bare ground beside palm trees. A figure at far right wears an orange saffron robe, long dark curly hair, and a rudraksha mala, and walks with a distinctive swept-back look; this appearance-based candidate is labelled Swamiji (probable) as a procession leader. Nearby, men in white dhotis and shirts walk in step, some with hands folded in namaskar, and drummers in white dhotis beat large drums. A couple of men in white carry or accompany the group near a tall decorated flagpole or kalasha-topped pole on the left. Dark trees and a parked vehicle fill the background.2006-12-23Night photograph of a procession on a dirt ground beside palm trees, with a tall pole topped by a decorated kalasha-like finial and streamers at left. A row of men in white dhotis and shirts, some with folded hands in namaskar, stand facing inward. Several drummers in white and dhoti play barrel drums. At the right, a figure in a long saffron/orange robe with a rudraksha mala stands with long, swept-back hair, a distinctive appearance that matches a probable Swamiji candidate in the procession. Additional people in white and orange stand further back near parked vehicles.2006-12-23October 23 20062006-10-23A photograph of a seated audience in an ashram hall, with many devotees dressed in white kurtas and white clothing, several wearing rudraksha malas and lanyards. Most sit cross-legged on red-and-white striped mats, with hands raised in mudra or clasped in front of them, some with eyes closed in meditation. In the foreground, a bald man in a yellow shawl sits facing right. Behind them, white plastic chairs and a pink wall are visible. A few headphones lie on the mat. The setting suggests a satsang or discourse with listeners absorbed in practice. No identifiable a person figure is visible.2010-09-19
