A procession on a shaded path, with a central man in rust-orange robes wearing a long red and white flower garland and a heavy gold necklace with pendant. He has swept-back dark hair and a rudraksha mala, and walks under a red and gold umbrella held over him. Around him, men in white dhotis with gold borders and rudraksha malas carry a long silver staff and a fan, while a bare-chested man with a white forehead marking walks nearby. Fresh red flowers are visible in the lower right. Behind, a green and orange decorated ornament and a tall red-and-white pillar stand under a metal-roofed shelter.2016-07-19July 19 20162016-07-19December 23 20162016-12-23A procession on a paved path under bright daylight, with a golden-topped temple structure and green trees behind. A central man wears a rust-red turban, a long rust-red robe, a thick white and pink flower garland, a large gold pendant and rudraksha beads, and walks barefoot with a red cloth in hand. A white parasol with ornate fringe is held above the procession. Surrounding men wear white dhotis with gold borders, bare upper bodies or white shawls, and rudraksha malas, with some holding long ceremonial staffs topped with tufts. A woman in pink is visible at the right edge. The central figure has the distinctive long-haired, bearded presentation with a crown-like turban and ornate garland that fits the candidate profile, so this is a person. The group appears to be moving in ceremonial procession.2016-12-23Outdoor ritual at a sandy construction site with palm trees behind. A bearded man with long hair, wearing a rust-red robe, a floral garland of white, yellow and orange flowers, and a rudraksha mala, stands with palms pressed together. An attendant in white dhoti with gold border and a bare chest, holding a red umbrella with tassels above him, stands at left. Another man in a rust-red dhoti with a rudraksha mala stands beside him. At right, a man bends low in white dhoti before a ground pooja arrangement of yellow and orange marigolds, flower petals, a small bundle of wooden sticks, and a printed sheet. Onlookers in yellow and pink shirts stand in the background. The figure in the center has distinctive long hair, a garland and rudraksha cues, so the appearance-based label is Swamiji (probable), shown in person.2016-11-18Outdoor photo on a dusty red-earth ground beside a field of flower petals. A procession of saffron-robed devotees carries ornate umbrellas and a tall staff with a trident-like finial. A bearded man in a rust-orange robe and a long rudraksha-style mala stands centre, his hair long and swept back, facing a bald older man in white who bows toward him. Behind them, orange-clad women and devotees stand among a crowd, and a bus and vehicles are visible in the background. Swamiji (probable): the central bearded figure in rust-orange robes with long hair and a long beaded mala matches the page's identification, and is shown in person receiving a bow during the procession.2017-02-04July 19 20162016-07-19August 02 20162016-08-02August 02 20162016-08-02December 23 20162016-12-23March 11 20172017-03-11December 18 20162016-12-18
