June 22 20092009-06-22Outdoor scene on a dirt ground with patchy grass. A young man in a white dhoti with gold-bordered cloth and a gold chain stands at centre holding a microphone, with a turban-style yellow-and-cream head wrap and bare feet. He wears a gold necklace and speaks to the gathering. Behind him a black speaker sits on a tripod, and an orange-draped table holds audio equipment. To the right a barefoot man in white ritual clothes walks past. Several men in casual shirts and trousers stand watching at left. A brick-red railing and a grey concrete building with a blue signboard reading Photography and video camera prohibitions appear in the background.2011-10-31December 19 20102010-12-19A shaved-headed man in plain white ritual cloth, draped over one shoulder, stands speaking into a handheld microphone he holds with both hands. He wears a heavy gold bead necklace with a large pendant and gold bangles, and smiles while looking to the side. Behind him are orange walls with white-and-red striped panels and a red curtain, with a carved stone pillar at the left edge. The setting suggests a satsang discourse.2010-12-19A young male priest in white ritual dress with gold-bordered dhoti and shawl, wearing a cream and gold patterned turban, stands on a dirt ground holding a brass oil lamp with a bright flame in his cupped right hand while his left hand is raised beside it. He wears a beaded necklace and bangles, with a tilak mark on his forehead. Behind him, other people in white and yellow garments stand in a line, and a blue banner hangs on a fence. No candidate is identifiable as a person by the cues required, so the figure is treated as a priest.2011-10-31December 16 20102010-12-16December 17 20112011-12-17A stage event with red draped curtains and a golden ornamental pillar at right. Two men stand in front, both in white dhotis with gold borders and bare upper bodies, and both wear rudraksha malas. The man at right, wearing glasses and a wristwatch, holds a microphone in folded hands and speaks. The younger man beside him, with long dark hair, stands with hands clasped. A woman in white with gold-bordered clothing and a rudraksha mala stands at left, holding a pot. Three physical people are visible, and no appearance-based candidate for a person is clearly identifiable.2015-09-11A man seated cross-legged on a patterned rug, reading from loose papers at a silver microphone stand, eyes lowered. He wears white dhoti and shawl with gold borders, a rudraksha mala around his neck and rudraksha bracelets on his arms, white sacred markings on forehead and arms, and a red bindi. Metal railings and a grey wall are behind him.2011-09-27October 29 20112011-10-29 +1 copiesA man with a shaved head sits cross-legged on a white stone platform during a ritual, wearing a white dhoti with gold borders and a gold bead necklace.
