Photograph at dusk on a riverside ghat. A central figure with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange-saffron wrap, a long green-grey flower garland and a gold-bead necklace with a purple flower at the chest, smiling and gesturing with his right hand. Behind him, a bald man in an orange robe with a gold necklace gestures, and a man in white with gold chains stands nearby. Several photographers with cameras stand at the right edge, and a lit balcony with railings is above. Swamiji appearance cues are present on the central figure (long hair, saffron wrap, garland and gold beads), so this is an appearance-based probable identification.2010-09-24A photograph of a procession inside a temple at night, with a crowd of devotees behind.
