A person in a white turban with a yellow border and long dark hair, wearing a garland of purple and white flowers, places a palm on the forehead of a bald man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala. Behind them, men in white shirts and dhotis stand with hands pressed together in namaste, and a blue cooler stands at the right edge. A gold bracelet is visible on the foreground arm. The figure giving the blessing has a white turban and flower garland and is not clearly identifiable as the a person from the image alone, so the a person field is unsure.2006-07-30Outdoors beneath a large banyan tree with dense hanging aerial roots, a woman in white clothes with a red shawl and a red tilak on her forehead stands on sandy ground, holding a white cloth bundle above her head with both hands, eyes closed. Behind her, another figure in a red shawl also raises an object overhead. To the left, a man in white kurta stands near a low circular stone border around the trunk.

A middle-aged man in an all-white shirt and white trousers, wearing dark sunglasses, a vertical white tilak on his forehead and a dark rudraksha-style mala, carries small white cloth bundles in both hands. Behind him a line of people follows: a woman in a white sari, a person in white with a white cloth on their head, and two young girls, one in a blue shawl and floral skirt and one in white clothing with a mala. Red walls and greenery are visible in the background. The procession suggests a devotional offering line, though no specific ritual is shown.2013-07-22Outdoor ritual scene under large banyan trees. In the foreground a man in white ceremonial clothes and a lanyard holds up a decorated clay pot wrapped with green leaves. Beside him a man in white kurta and glasses stands watching. On the right, a figure in saffron-orange robes, orange turban, a white and green flower garland and a gold necklace sits on a patterned cushion with hands raised to the head, smiling. Behind them, devotees in white and orange clothing sit and stand on the dirt ground. The figure in orange shows distinctive saffron clothing, turban and garlands, and matches the Swamiji (probable) cues, while the actual pot-holder is a devotee in white.2005-12-31July 30 20062006-07-30August 09 20152015-08-09
