January 14 20182018-01-14A smiling man in a maroon-red turban with a gold ornament stands at the centre of a procession, wearing layered gold ceremonial necklaces, a gold waist belt, a red-brown robe and a pink-and-white flower garland. Behind him, young men in orange-saffron dhotis and rudraksha malas walk with him, one holding a tall yellow pole, and a red-painted doorway with a tree at the edge is visible. A purple cloth and a bundle of red flowers appear at the left edge. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), with the turban, gold necklaces and ornate robe as qualifying cues, shown walking in procession with attendants in saffron.2018-01-14Procession scene at an ashram-style courtyard. A smiling bearded man in the centre wears a deep red turban with a gold ornament, a red-brown robe, layered gold necklaces and gold-coloured pendants, and a pink and white flower garland across his chest, with beaded rudraksha bracelets on his arms. He is flanked by young sannyasis in saffron-orange cloth with rudraksha malas and tilak markings; one carries a tall yellow-gold staff at right. Behind them, a man in white dhoti with a yellow border and a rudraksha mala walks past a red-painted wall, with yellow flowers in the upper left. Visible appearance cues for the central figure: a red turban with gold ornament, a gold-necklace and garland ensemble, and a red-brown robe; the sannyasi attendants are identified by their saffron cloth, malas and staff.2018-01-14A smiling bearded man in a maroon turban and maroon silk dhoti walks barefoot along a red carpet outdoors, wearing heavy gold necklaces, a gold waist belt, and a thick pink-and-white flower garland. Two young men in saffron-orange dhotis, one bare-chested with rudraksha malas, flank him, and a third holds a tall pole beside them; one carries a bouquet of red flowers. Yellow flowering shrubs and a red building with an open doorway stand behind. The man's ceremonial dress and garlanded arrival suggest a welcome procession, but his identity is not established by visible cues alone.2018-01-14April 21 20152015-04-21A photograph of a smiling man standing at the centre in a maroon-red turban with a gold ornament, wearing a maroon-brown robe, layered gold necklaces and a gold waist belt, rudraksha bracelets and a pink-and-white flower garland. A younger person in orange at the right wears a large flower garland with yellow and pink blossoms and a jewelled ornament, while another person in orange stands behind him. Red walls and a doorway form the background. Swamiji (probable): the central man wears a turban, ornate gold jewellery and rudraksha, matching the page's Pongal and Tiruvannamalai Aadheenam event context, so this is an appearance-based candidate.2018-01-14 +1 copiesA photograph of a bearded man in a maroon-brown turban and maroon-brown dhoti with gold borders, descending wooden steps barefoot with eyes closed. He wears thick red and pink flower garlands and layered gold necklaces with a large gold pendant. Around him, young men in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas follow closely; one carries a brass tray with green leaves at the top right, and another wears an orange turban with a leopard-print wrap. A silver rail is visible at the left edge, and banana leaves and green foliage frame the background. The man appears to be the central honoured figure in a procession, though his identity cannot be confirmed from appearance.2018-01-09March 07 20162016-03-07 +2 copiesA photograph of a procession on a red carpet under a red-and-gold canopy. At centre, a bearded man in a deep maroon robe, gold-and-white flower garlands, a heavy gold pendant necklace and a maroon turban walks forward smiling, with bangles on his wrists. Around him, four men in ritual dress: two in white dhoti and shawl with rudraksha malas, one in orange cloth with beads at left, and one bare-chested in red-orange cloth with a rudraksha mala at right. Marigold and white flower decorations line the left edge, and a gold-decorated palanquin or idol is visible at right.2016-12-23A photograph of a procession descending a white-railed stone staircase beside a red-and-white painted wall. In the centre, a person with long dark hair and a red bindi wears a leopard-print garment over orange cloth, with a red-and-white flower garland, gold necklaces and a rudraksha-style mala. Behind and to the left, several men in saffron-orange robes with white markings on their foreheads and arms carry an ornate umbrella with a red and yellow canopy and a long wooden staff, and one holds a small orange bag. Gold scroll motifs decorate the metal railing.2013-03-10March 07 20162016-03-07March 07 20162016-03-07
