A seated figure on an ornate golden throne with a red cushioned seat, surrounded by heaped marigolds, orange flowers and palm fronds, at an outdoor stepped stone amphitheatre. The seated man wears saffron-orange robes, a long flower garland of white and red blooms, and a rudraksha mala, raising one hand in blessing. Two attendants in saffron clothing stand beside the throne: one holds a tall trident-topped staff, the other, bearded and bareheaded, sits at the right edge. A trident stands on the platform before the throne. Behind, a dense crowd of devotees in white and mixed clothing fills the foreground and steps, with a man in white standing on the upper stone steps.

January 02 20102010-01-02A photograph of a ceremonial procession at a stepped stone ghat with tiered red steps lined with black lamp stands. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne on a flower-decorated ratha platform, wearing a white and orange flower garland and raising one hand in blessing. Golden trident staffs flank the throne. A bearded attendant in orange stands to the right, and a crowd of devotees fills the foreground, with several people in white clothes standing on the steps behind. Marigolds, roses and palm fronds decorate the chariot. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron robes, rudraksha-style garland and enthroned position are the visible cues for the central figure, who is seated on the decorated throne during the procession.2010-01-02 +1 copiesJanuary 02 20102010-01-02 +1 copiesJanuary 02 20102010-01-02 +1 copiesA festival procession on a red-carpeted platform beside steps where crowds sit.
