In the centre a man in an orange saffron robe, orange turban, long swept-back hair and a heavy gold necklace with a pendant walks forward, a distinctive appearance matching the Swamiji (probable) cues of turban, long hair, saffron clothing and ornate gold necklace. Beside him an older man in white dhoti and shirt extends his hand toward him, holding a garland of orange flowers. Around them several men in white ritual clothes and rudraksha malas stand, one wearing a white face mask and carrying a stick, and a bearded man in a light blue shirt with a rudraksha mala stands at left.2005-12-31December 23 20092009-12-23Outdoor ritual scene with a concrete pillar wrapped in orange and yellow cord at the left, and a long wooden pole held by a man in white dhoti and shawl. In the centre a man with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and an orange saffron robe wears a multi-strand garland of white flowers, blue and turquoise beads, large gold beads, rudraksha beads and green parrot ornaments, and holds a bunch of red flowers toward the pole. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron robe and ornate gold and rudraksha adornments. Around him devotees stand in white ritual dhotis and orange saffron robes, one saffron-clad man at right with hands joined and a gold necklace. Green trees and sky are behind, with a crowd of onlookers in white and orange.2012-07-03December 27 20092009-12-27July 03 20122012-07-03December 25 20092009-12-25December 23 20082008-12-23A photograph of a procession outdoors under palm trees. A man with long, swept-back dark hair and a smile stands at centre in a saffron-orange robe with a large gold-and-bead ceremonial necklace, looking upward beside a fringed red-and-gold parasol held by a person in white. Behind him a table holds yellow and pink flower garlands and green leaves on metal trays. Two golden arched shrines hold orange-robed statues, one with a saffron turban and rudraksha-style beads, beside a white van. Swamiji (probable): the central figure has long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a large gold necklace, which are consistent with the page's account of the Swamiji presence, though the identification rests only on those appearance cues. Two statues and a standing person in white are also visible.2006-12-23
