December 26 20102010-12-26July 19 20142014-07-19A photograph of a ceremonial moment in a warmly lit outdoor setting with palm fronds behind. A long-haired figure with voluminous curly hair wears a red sleeveless top under orange saffron robes and sits on a raised white platform, holding a leafy green bundle attached to a white rope and orange cloth. A man in a white kurta with a wristwatch and bracelets kneels below, gripping the same bundle. A flower garland hangs at the right edge, and a bronze-coloured sculpted form is visible at the left. Two people's heads are partly visible at the bottom of the frame. The seated figure has distinctive long curly hair and saffron clothing, which is an appearance-based cue for a person presence, though his identity is uncertain.2007-12-21June 23 20132013-06-23 +2 copiesJune 30 20162016-06-30August 09 20152015-08-09A seated man in an orange-red turban and saffron-and-gold garment wears a long white jasmine garland over bare shoulders and extends his right arm to press his palm to the forehead of a young man in a white polo shirt who kneels with palms joined. A woman in white with a brown and dark beaded mala and a second woman in a white top stand behind them, and several women in orange and pink garments watch from the right. A white floor-standing air conditioner, a fan and a golden deity murti at lower left complete the ritual scene in an indoor hall with a red floor covering. The turbaned man's identity is not established by the page, so his role is given as officiant.2015-09-27June 12 20142014-06-12July 01 20142014-07-01A photograph of a seated man in rust-orange and red robes with a long, swept-back dark hairstyle, a white tilak on his forehead and a brown rudraksha-style mala around his neck, placing his right hand on the head of a short-haired young boy in a white shirt. He holds a small pink card in his left hand. Behind him stands a silver ceremonial staff and a golden deity murti with a gold-coloured backdrop, with garlands and a woman in white and a brown mala waiting nearby. The scene suggests a blessing or darshan moment. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, orange ceremonial robes and a mala, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji.2014-10-11December 26 20152015-12-26A seated figure with a pink and white flower garland and green leaf garland, bare-shouldered in an orange-red wrap, sits on a red throne with gold lion-shaped armrests and applies a white ritual mark or tilak to a standing devotee. The devotee in a white shirt and orange shawl stands with palms pressed together in namaste before a silver staff with a gold base. Background shows a red and gold banner and another person in orange and white. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long dark hair, a ceremonial garland and orange-red clothing, matching the page's claim of his presence.2014-05-11
