A photograph at night of a central man in a rust-brown turban with a gold band and a brown silk kurta-style outfit with gold trim, wearing a white and orange flower garland with purple accents and gold ornaments, hands pressed together in namaste and smiling. Around him stands a crowd of devotees in saffron, orange, red and white saris and white dhotis, many with palms joined in prayer; on the right, men in orange robes with rudraksha malas stand among them. Trees fill the dark background. The central man wears distinctive ornate gold necklaces and a turban, and the page identifies this event as involving a person, so he is a person candidate.2013-11-02December 23 20162016-12-23December 23 20162016-12-23November 17 20132013-11-17A man in a bronze-brown silk garment wrapped with gold borders walks forward with eyes lowered and a faint smile, wearing a thick red and pink flower garland over a gold-beaded necklace. A red bindi marks his forehead and gold earrings hang from his ears; his upper arm is bare beside a white sleeve. Behind him, devotees in orange and maroon robes stand in an open-sided hall, some with palms joined in namaste, a young boy in orange with a tilak, and women in maroon saris with rudraksha malas. The scene suggests a welcoming or procession moment under a dark roof with palm trees outside.2013-10-05December 24 20132013-12-24A smiling man at night stands centrally in front of a red curtain, wearing a red and gold turban with a small white ornament, a white garland with red and yellow flowers, layered gold necklaces, a gold armlet, and a red and gold garment with a gold-studded lower wrap.
