June 23 20142014-06-23 +3 copiesA crowd at an evening outdoor event, lit by string lights. At the centre, a person in a deep red turban and a rust-red robe wears a long white and red flower garland and a long brown rudraksha mala. The person's head is lowered as attendants in white shirts and saffron-trimmed dhotis move alongside, one reaching out to touch the robed figure's arm. Other devotees with white tilak forehead markings and rudraksha malas stand in the background. Petals scatter in the air above. Appearance cues include the crown-like turban, ceremonial garland and rudraksha mala, but the face is not clearly visible and the presence cannot be confirmed, so this is uncertain.2016-03-29April 09 20172017-04-09A nighttime photograph inside a open tent with scaffolding and string lights overhead.
