A man in a rust-orange dhoti-style wrap and a matching orange headwrap stands with palms pressed together in namaste on a striped woven runner. Behind him, a raised red platform holds a large multi-armed deity murti with a cobra hood above it, a trident and other ritual objects are placed beside it, and a pink-and-purple cosmic backdrop fills the wall. Two cameramen in white dhotis with gold borders film him from the sides, one at left with a camera and one at right beside a tripod. The scene suggests a devotional or satsang setting.2016-12-17December 17 20162016-12-17A man in an orange-brown wrapped garment and matching head wrap stands on a striped rug in a stage hall, facing a large deity murti with multiple arms and a hooded serpent canopy, set against a pink and purple backdrop. Two cameramen in white dhotis with gold borders film him from the sides, and golden trident-shaped ritual poles stand near the stage. The man's face and bearing are not established as a person, so the a person field is unsure.2016-12-17December 17 20162016-12-17December 17 20162016-12-17December 17 20162016-12-17December 17 20162016-12-17December 17 20162016-12-17Photo 11699001 +2 copiesDecember 17 20162016-12-17December 17 20162016-12-17A photograph of a central figure in a rust-orange wrap walking down a red carpet runner between rows of standing devotees with hands pressed in anjali. The figure has long swept-back hair, a vibhuti or kumkum mark on the forehead, and a bare-chested upper body with a draped orange cloth. Behind him stands a large deity murti in a carved throne, adorned with garlands and a tall gilded arch, set before a blue-lit backdrop with stars. A video camera on a tripod records the walk. Devotees on both sides wear white, teal, yellow and pink saris and kurtas. Red drapes, stage lights and oil lamps frame the hall. Swamiji (probable): the walking figure shows long swept-back hair, a forehead mark and an orange wrap, so the candidate is in person. Procession setting with devotees, a deity murti and filming equipment.2016-12-09
