August 09 20152015-08-09A photograph of a group of men in white shirts and dhotis gathered closely around a central figure. The central person wears a red-maroon turban, a gold-yellow silk shawl over a dark maroon garment, and a multicolored garland of red, white and yellow flowers. Several men in white are garlanding or draping him with yellow cloth, while others stand with hands folded in greeting. Behind them stands a large ornate gold throne with carved backrest against red curtains, and a bald man in saffron-orange robes with white tilak marks on his forehead and arm stands at the right edge. A screen with colourful imagery is visible at the top. The central figure's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, but the face and garment cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so this remains uncertain.2015-08-09August 09 20152015-08-09A crowd of devotees surrounds a central figure in an orange turban and saffron robe with a long rudraksha-style beaded mala, standing beneath a yellow ornate parasol on a red pole. Around him, men in white dhotis with gold and rudraksha necklaces press forward, some with hands raised in greeting, while a bald man in saffron holds up a smartphone. Ornate wooden temple structures and a red-and-gold canopy fill the background.2016-04-24April 27 20162016-04-27December 31 20092009-12-31April 30 20162016-04-30April 27 20162016-04-27August 09 20152015-08-09June 19 20142014-06-19 +4 copiesA crowded indoor photograph beside a red-draped wall, showing a long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes wearing a large garland of yellow, orange and red flowers, seated at a red-covered table with a golden ceremonial object. A bald man in an orange-and-saffron robe with a rudraksha mala kneels in front, while an older man in a light grey shirt and a man in glasses in a cream kurta and orange shawl bend forward, one leaning close to the seated figure. Around them, men in checked shirts, orange shawls and dark trousers lean in and raise mobile phones, and a cameraman with a tripod stands at left. The seated figure's saffron-orange and garland cues are distinctive, and the page identifies this event as a VIP visit at the Kumbh Mela, but no printed name appears in the image.2016-04-27July 23 20162016-07-23
