To the left, a man in a green patterned shirt smiles, and a bald man in a rust-brown robe with glasses and gold necklaces stands nearby. A camera on a tripod is visible in the background. The throne has carved panels with a deity figure. The seated figure has a turban and rust robe but the appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity.2016-04-30July 19 20152015-07-19 +1 copiesA photograph of a ceremonial honouring at a temple-style setting with orange and red drapes and gilded decor. In the centre, a bearded man in a rust-red shawl and a pink-and-orange turban bows his head while an older man in a saffron-orange robe and a wrapped orange-brown turban drapes a bright orange shawl over his shoulders. At left, a bearded man in orange robes stands with palms pressed together in namaste. Behind them, a man in white ritual clothes and cameramen with cameras are visible, and an ornate golden throne-like structure stands at right. Several people are visible, including partially visible figures in the background. A single identity-related candidate with compatible saffron robes and turban cues is present, so the appearance-based label applies only to that figure.2013-02-11Photograph of a ritual in a tent with orange and saffron draped swamis and devotees.
