Seated adults in white and yellow vests and an older woman in a brown jacket appear in the background, and plastic chairs line the right side.

Around him a group of children and young people in white shirts, striped shirts, green shirts and pastel dresses gather and watch.

The scene looks like an informal visit among local youths rather than a formal ceremony.2007-02-02 +1 copiesOutdoor photo of a bright orange-red building with a thatched overhang and an open doorway with red-trimmed frame.

A barefoot figure in long dark hair and a saffron-orange shawl, with a gold necklace, walks at the centre; the figure's cues are long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ornate gold adornment, so this is probable Swamiji, shown in person, but the identification rests on appearance alone. Around them, people in white ritual clothes walk with a bearded man in white wearing a rudraksha mala and a woman in a white sari, and young people in white with rudraksha malas and name badges. Several pairs of sandals sit by the wall. Many more people stand in the background.2005-12-31October 01 20102010-10-01February 12 20072007-02-12 +1 copiesDecember 24 20072007-12-24
