A photograph of a devotional gathering in a plain white-walled hall with a striped green-and-red floor mat. Facing him at left, a figure in a saffron-orange wrap with maroon edging bends forward and extends their arms toward him. Around them, women in white and cream saris, a woman in peach, and a woman in a red-bordered sari with a small child stand with palms pressed together in greeting. A few people in the background wear orange and white, and the crowd is standing and attentive.2009-07-13A large indoor crowd of women in white, cream, blue, green and mustard saris stands around a man in saffron-orange robes with white sacred ash marks on his forehead and arms. The central figure, with a rudraksha-style mala around his neck, faces the group with his palms pressed together in a greeting gesture. Several women hold mobile phones and small bags, and many wear lanyards. The floor has a striped red, green and yellow runner, and red-and-white wall tiles and doorways frame the hall. Whether the central figure is a person is not clear from appearance alone, so the identity is left unsure.2009-07-13July 13 20092009-07-13June 21 20092009-06-21A photograph inside a bright hall with a white ceiling and red-tinted lighting. In the centre, a barefoot man with long dark hair falling past his shoulders wears a rose-pink shawl over a matching dhoti and a dark garland; he is walking away from the camera across a light floor. Behind him a trident stands upright near a gold-framed seat. Around him, a crowd of devotees stands and sits with palms pressed together in namaste, many women in orange and red saris, men in white dhotis and orange shawls, and children in orange garments with garlands. A seated priest in a red-and-gold dhoti kneels beside a brass lamp stand, and a woman in white sits on a rug. Several people are visible in the background, and the scene reads as a ritual gathering. The central figure's appearance is consistent with the presentation cues of long swept-back hair and a distinctive rose shawl, though the image alone does not establish identity.2016-03-30March 30 20162016-03-30A photograph inside a large tented hall with a white canopy and decorative striped pillars. In the centre a man with long swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange robe, a white and red flower garland, and a gold necklace, smiling with his arms outstretched as if speaking or dancing. Behind him a crowd of devotees stands with hands folded in namaste; many women wear white saris with yellow or gold borders and orange shawls, and several men wear saffron robes. A small child in pink shorts and a white top stands at right, holding a man's hand. The floor is white tile with a dark border line and scattered petals. A probable Swamiji is in person, identified by the long swept-back hair, saffron robe, and ceremonial gold necklace with garland, as the page indicates his presence at this event. The group totals about 21-100 people visible.2008-12-23Indoor evening event under a white tent with stage lights overhead. In the centre, a man in an orange turban, orange robe, and long rudraksha mala walks barefoot with palms pressed together in greeting. Beside him, a man in red kurta and orange shawl holds a folded paper. To the right, an older man in white kurta and orange shawl walks with hands folded. Devotees in white and cream saris and white kurtas stand along the left, many with palms together. A white-draped table with a flower arrangement and a red cloth stands at right, and a young man in white with an orange shawl stands at the far right edge.2007-12-21March 10 20132013-03-10November 20 20102010-11-20October 19 20122012-10-19 +1 copiesMarch 10 20132013-03-10
