A man with long dark hair wears an orange-saffron robe and a white flower garland; he stands at the base and rests one hand on the carved pillar. Coconut palms and a clear blue sky frame the scene. A young man in orange clothing stands at the right edge, and a red-and-white banner hangs from ropes on the left. The page indicates Swamiji was present, and his appearance (long swept-back hair, saffron robe, garland) is a compatible cue, so this is a probable Swamiji presence during flag-hoisting at Brahmotsava, with the orange robe and garland the qualifying cues.2008-12-23January 02 20102010-01-02 +1 copies
