A photograph in a temple-style room before a garlanded deity murti of a standing figure with yellow and purple flower garlands. On the left, a man with shoulder-length dark hair, bare-chested under an orange-brown shawl with a rudraksha mala, smiles and looks down while holding a golden vessel. On the right, a man in an orange turban and white clothing with an orange sash stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, bowing. A woman in a red-brown garment is partly visible behind him. A white fan and a red curtain appear at the edges.2013-09-05A photograph inside a decorated hall at a temple-style puja setup. On the left, a bearded man with long dark hair, wearing a rust-red robe and a white and red flower garland, stands with palms pressed together in namaste. Beside him, a younger attendant in an orange-red dhoti with a white sacred thread and beaded necklace holds a brass plate of flowers. A tall brass oil lamp with a lit flame stands in the centre. Behind them, a golden ornate throne with a tiger-skin cushion and a red seat is decorated with flower garlands. On the right, a deity murti is adorned with a red, yellow and white garland and a jewelled silver crown. Hanging floral decorations and a painted mountain backdrop complete the setting.2017-06-10September 18 20162016-09-18A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back dark hair and a long rudraksha-style mala draped over the shoulders, sitting on a red cushioned seat before a deity murti decorated with a tall garland of yellow, orange, red and purple flowers and a gold crown. A young man in a white t-shirt with a red lanyard and an orange turban kneels and offers something with both hands toward the seated figure. A small child stands behind him, and a standing fan and pink curtain are visible in the room. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, saffron robes and a mala, so this is a probable Swamiji appearance seated in person.2013-07-21A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange-brown robe placing his right palm on the forehead of a smiling man in a white kurta with an orange shawl and a black cord bracelet. Both are smiling with eyes closed in a blessing moment. Behind them stands a gilded deity murti with a crown, draped in yellow and green fabric and red-and-white flower garlands, with a white air conditioner unit and a backdrop of ocean wave photographs. A small white card is held in the lower hand area. The robed man appears to be a sannyasi and the white-clad man a devotee receiving blessing.2013-09-02A photograph of a ritual scene before a golden deity murti of Shiva with a bronze sculpture of a seated deity on a rock, garlanded in red, yellow and green flower garlands with a golden throne backdrop. A bald-headed priest in saffron-red cloth and a rudraksha mala holds an orange fruit beside a green-leaf and stone arrangement, while a man in a white kurta with grey hair stands with hands folded in namaste, bending forward. A woman in white clothing stands at right near another garlanded murti, and brass oil lamps are set on the altar. The setting suggests a homa or puja offering.2015-01-07 +1 copiesClose photo of a seated man in a cream polo shirt and a dark pendant necklace, palms pressed together in namaskar and head slightly bowed, facing a figure with long dark hair and beard, bare-chested with a thick multi-coloured garland of red, orange and white flowers and gold ornate armlets. The bare-chested figure's hand holds a small offering. A woman in yellow sits at the left edge, partly out of frame. Warm lamplit setting with gold-coloured drapery at right. Two people are visible.2017-04-16July 07 20172017-07-07July 03 20132013-07-03July 01 20132013-07-01July 07 20172017-07-07A temple-style shrine interior with a golden bronze statue of a seated deity holding a trident and a drum-like instrument on the left, and garlanded deity murtis on a gold-draped altar with brass oil lamps. In the foreground a bare-chested man in saffron-orange cloth with a rudraksha mala and a white forehead mark sits and offers a fruit to a man in white kurta who bows with folded hands. Green plants and rocks decorate the shrine base. A woman in white stands at the right edge. The seated man wears saffron and rudraksha cues with a white forehead mark, consistent with the page's reference to a person, but the appearance is not certain enough to confirm identity.2015-01-07 +1 copies
