A photograph of a man seated on an ornate golden throne with red cushions, decorated with a band of marigold and mixed flower garlands. He wears a saffron-orange turban, white robes, a multi-strand gold necklace and beaded necklaces, and sits barefoot on a gold footstool with his palms raised in greeting. Behind him a red banner reads Dasara and a Kannada phrase, with a large deity murti image and flower garlands on the right. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has a saffron turban, ceremonial gold necklaces and white robes, and is seated on a throne as the central honoured figure. He is the only person visible.

October 16 20102010-10-16A man in a saffron turban, white dhoti and shawl, wearing a gold multi-strand necklace, sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with red cushions and a gold-framed peetha, garlanded with yellow and orange marigolds and purple flowers, while raising both palms in a welcoming gesture. Behind him hangs a red banner with Dasara lettering and Kannada script, and a painted figure of a deity on the right. A gold umbrella tops the throne. Ritual dress and throne are visible, but the appearance cues are not distinctive enough to establish identity.2010-10-16 +2 copiesA man seated on an ornate gold throne decorated with garlands of yellow, orange, red and purple flowers, under a gold canopy. He wears a saffron-coloured turban, a white dhoti and shawl, several layered gold and beaded necklaces, and a gold pendant, with his hands folded in greeting and a smile. Behind him a red banner reads Dasara and Celebrating the Divine Mother in English, and Kannada script reads jagannmateya aradhane (worship of the world mother). On the right, a deity murti is adorned with red and white flowers. Swamiji (probable): the person has long swept-back hair, a saffron turban, ornate gold necklaces and white ritual clothing, consistent with the page's attribution to the event.2010-10-16 +1 copiesOctober 16 20102010-10-16 +2 copiesOctober 16 20102010-10-16 +2 copiesA man seated on an ornate gold throne (peetha) with red cushions, its arch and armrests draped in marigold and multicoloured flower garlands. He wears a saffron-yellow turban, a white dhoti-style garment draped over one shoulder, gold-toned layered necklaces and bare feet resting on a gold footstool with a red cushion. A large Kannada-and-English banner in red and orange behind him reads Dasara, and a gilded figure of a deity murti appears at the right edge. Per the page, this is Swamiji in a Dasara celebration setting, though the appearance cues here are a yellow turban, white garments and gold necklaces, which are consistent with the page's claim; the identification is probable only from these cues.2010-10-16 +6 copiesOctober 16 20102010-10-16 +1 copiesA man seated on an ornate gold-trimmed throne draped with a horseshoe-shaped arch of marigold and mixed flower garlands in yellow, red, purple and pink. He wears a cream-coloured turban, a white dhoti-style garment with a white shawl, multiple long gold and beaded necklaces, and gold armlets, and is smiling with hands resting in his lap. Behind him a red banner shows Kannada script and the word Dasara, and on the right a large golden deity murti is partly visible. Swamiji (probable): the cues are the saffron-free turban, ceremonial gold necklaces and throne seating in a festival setting, so this is an appearance-based label only.2010-10-16 +1 copiesOctober 16 20102010-10-16 +1 copiesOctober 16 20102010-10-16 +2 copiesOctober 16 20102010-10-16 +2 copiesA man seated on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, decorated with yellow and orange marigold garlands and a red-and-green floral arch.
