August 18 20162016-08-18A large outdoor group of devotees seated on the ground in a ritual gathering under trees. In the foreground a man with short grey-streaked hair and a red tilak on his forehead sits with eyes closed and palms pressed together in prayer, wearing an orange cloth over the shoulders and a thin cord necklace. Beside him a bald man with large rudraksha mala beads and gold earrings holds his palms together, dressed in orange and a saffron wrap. Behind them many participants wear white dhotis, orange robes and red clothing, some with hands raised in namaskar. Brass pots and small brass bowls with offerings sit on a cloth in front of them. No identifiable figure is presented as a person in this image.2016-08-18Seated group chanting in a hall: in the foreground, two shaved-headed men in saffron-orange robes and long rudraksha malas sit with palms raised in mudra and mouths open mid-chant, with white ash stripes on their arms and foreheads. Behind them, a large group of young boys in maroon and yellow tunics raises their hands in the same gesture. A white-clad man with a white cloth and rudraksha mala sits to the right, and a round blue-lidded container sits on the floor. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable by appearance, so the foreground men are described by role only.2013-05-24November 16 20152015-11-16January 08 20172017-01-08March 13 20132013-03-13September 15 20142014-09-15May 25 20132013-05-25July 29 20132013-07-29March 17 20132013-03-17October 11 20162016-10-11A photograph of a crowded outdoor gathering of young and adult devotees in orange and saffron robes, many wearing rudraksha malas and white sacred ash (vibhuti) stripes on their foreheads. Several are sitting cross-legged with hands folded in anjali mudra or raised in devotion, while younger children and teenagers stand behind them. A bald man in orange wearing glasses sits in the front left with palms pressed together. A man in a white shirt stands in the background, and a red pillar and green trees are visible behind the crowd. The scene appears to be a satsang gathering. No individual is identifiable as the swami from appearance cues alone.2013-06-13
