October 27 2004 - Surat Inter-religious conference in Tiruvannamalai

February 02 2007

A dense outdoor crowd gathers on a sunlit street, mostly men and women in white shirts, kurtas and dhotis, with some in colourful everyday clothing. Many wear lanyards with badges. A uniformed officer in khaki stands near the centre, and several people hold bags or wear caps. Bicycles, a fruit stall and a few onlookers appear at the edges. No individual is clearly identifiable as a specific figure, and no clear appearance cues for a person are visible.

A dense outdoor crowd of men in white shirts and dhotis presses around a central figure in saffron-orange robes with long dark wavy hair and a full beard, who appears to be a sannyasi. Behind him stands a bare-chested priest wearing a rudraksha-style bead mala. A man in a white shirt with a rosette-style ribbon badge in the center of the frame reaches toward the saffron-robed figure. Bamboo scaffolding, a red and yellow decorated structure and a red cloth are visible in the background, and a few women in saris stand among the crowd. A plain descriptive view of a gathering in a street setting.

A dense outdoor crowd of devotees in white dhotis and kurtas, many wearing orange shawls, gathers at a festival procession. In the center, a long-haired figure in an orange garment and a white and red flower garland stands with palms pressed together in namaste, surrounded by people with folded hands and devotees carrying brass offering plates. A woman in an orange sari holds a plate and a camera operator is visible at right. A brass trident-like ceremonial object appears at upper left. The scene looks like a temple procession or darshan. The central figure shows long swept-back hair, an orange garment and a garland, cues consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, so the appearance is labelled probable.

A dense crowd of men and women surrounds a figure on the right who wears an orange-saffron turban, orange robe, and a white and red flower garland. Many hands reach toward this figure, some pressing palms together in greeting. Most men wear white shirts and dhotis; others wear checked or pastel shirts. A woman in a pink sari and a child in light clothing appear nearby. Behind them stand parked white and silver cars, trees, and a low concrete wall under a bright sky. The scene appears to be an outdoor public gathering with devotees seeking blessings. a person: the orange-turbaned figure in saffron robes and garland, shown in person, fits the presentation cues.

A dense crowd presses around a procession in a narrow street lined with gold-coloured temple ornaments, a decorated vehicle and flags. In the foreground right, a figure in an orange turban and orange garment with a yellow-gold shawl and a red and white flower garland sits facing the crowd, with a hand raised. Devotees in white shirts and dhotis, some with folded palms raised, reach toward him, and a bespectacled older man in white leans in. Many people, mostly men and boys, fill the frame, with flags and marigold garlands visible above.

A crowded outdoor procession on a dusty village lane lined with palm trees. In the left foreground a man with a saffron-orange turban and saffron-orange robe, wearing a long white flower garland, walks barefoot in front of a crowd of men in white dhotis and shirts. Near the centre, a man in white with a long orange-red rudraksha-style garland and a pendant is surrounded by followers. A parked car and a decorated umbrella with red and blue panels stand behind the crowd, and a man at right films with a handheld camera. Hands are raised toward the figure in saffron, and onlookers press in from every side.

Outdoors on a dirt ground at a village gathering, a central figure in an orange-saffron robe with a long white-and-orange flower garland stands with palms pressed together in namaskar. Around him, men in white dhotis and white shirts, some wearing rudraksha malas, stand close, with a crowd of devotees behind them, many with hands folded. Behind them are low tiled-roof houses, a white building, a flagpole, tall palm trees and a sunny sky.
