July 22 20132013-07-22January 1st 2013Night procession in an outdoor setting with a central man in a rust-brown dhoti-style garment and gold border, wearing a long multicolour flower garland of red, yellow and white blooms, a gold ornate necklace with a large gold pendant, gold armlets and bangles, a red bindi and white forehead markings, raising one arm while smiling. Around him, saffron-robed devotees carry silver staffs and a trident, and several women with white markings stand nearby. On the right, a bald man in saffron holds a silver tray near a bright flame, with smoke rising. Dark trees and a decorated banner frame the scene. The central figure has distinctive garland, gold necklace and armlet cues and is in a ceremonial role, so a person applies to the centre, with the saffron-robed attendants and tray bearer as devotees.2013-07-22July 22 20132013-07-22Night procession at an outdoor ashram setting. A central figure with long swept-back dark hair, white forehead markings, a red and multicolour flower garland, a gold-and-beaded necklace and gold armbands, wearing rust-brown and gold ritual cloth, holds a lit oil lamp in one hand and a silver bell in the other, smiling. Around him, saffron-robed sannyasis and young boys with white tripundra markings and rudraksha malas walk in the procession. A silver ceremonial umbrella with hanging ornaments and a saffron-and-gold banner on a staff are visible at the top left, and a shaved-headed attendant on the right carries a silver tray of flowers and kumkum. Trees and night foliage form the backdrop.2013-07-22November 17 20132013-11-17 +1 copiesJune 05 20122012-06-05May 31 20182018-05-31June 07 20162016-06-07 +1 copiesDecember 05 20142014-12-05A smiling man in an orange-red turban and red-orange robe, with a brown rudraksha-style shawl draped over his shoulders, holds a lit camphor flame on a brass aarti lamp with a small bell in his other hand during a ceremony. Around him, several young men in orange and saffron garments, rudraksha malas and white sacred ash on their foreheads and arms stand close together, some with palms joined and others holding bells and trays. An orange and gold canopy umbrella and a yellow umbrella are overhead, and booths with colourful signs fill the tented background. This appears to be an aarti ritual in a festival tent setting. The central man matches Swamiji (probable) based on his turban, saffron-orange clothing and distinctive shawl, and he is physically present.2016-04-25Night procession at a temple-style event.
