April 21 20162016-04-21A photograph inside a tented camp with orange canvas overhead and a bamboo frame. A man with a long beard in an orange kurta and dhoti walks at left, gesturing. A central figure in a rust-orange dhoti and orange shawl wears a dark-red rudraksha mala and a large gold pendant necklace, with long dark hair and a red-orange turban; he appears to be the a person by the presentation cues of gold necklace, rudraksha mala and long swept hair, though this is unconfirmed. Beside him an elderly sadhu with a white beard wears an orange-red embroidered shawl and a red turban, holding a silver staff with red tassels. At right a bald man in orange robes with glasses sits holding a walking cane near a bed covered in a floral sheet. A uniformed police officer and onlookers stand in the background, and a white-robed man wears a gold-trimmed dhoti with beads.2016-04-21A photograph of a procession-like gathering at a crowded outdoor event with red and white banners behind. In the centre, a smiling person wears a rust-coloured turban, a rust-coloured robe and long braided hair, with a dark beaded mala, and stands with hands clasped. Beside him an elderly bearded man in orange robes and an orange headwrap holds a dark beaded mala, and a bald man in rust and gold clothing stands to the right. A man in a white dhoti and gold-bordered cloth holds a tall red-and-silver staff with a decorated canopy above. Several other men in saffron and rust garments and a red-and-orange headwrap stand around, with a crowd behind them. The centre figure has distinctive long hair and rust clothing consistent with a person presentation, though the appearance is not fully certain.2016-05-05Outdoor procession scene under a red and gold canopy with tasselled fringe, a golden trident-topped staff and floral garlands overhead. A central figure in orange robes, an orange turban, a long rudraksha-style bead necklace and a gold ceremonial chain smiles and stands beside a shaven-headed man in orange robes. Two orange-clad men stand at right, and a crowd in white and orange clothing surrounds them, several holding golden staffs and a trident-shaped staff. The central figure has distinctive long swept-back hair and ornate adornments, which is a probable match for a person in a procession setting, though the image is not conclusive.2007-02-02December 31 20082008-12-31A photo of a group walking through a pale peach-walled hall.
