April 14 20132013-04-14April 14 20132013-04-14An outdoor evening procession on a dirt road lined with palm fronds and green shrubs. At centre, a man in orange robes with a white flower garland and a dark tassel walks at the front, flanked by devotees. Behind him, figures wear orange and saffron cloths, and a man in a white dhoti holds a tall silver staff. Two women in white saris are visible, one carrying a brass plate of offerings. Colourful decorated parasols with tassels and an orange banner with a red emblem are carried overhead, and a brass horn-shaped instrument is visible. Several people in white and yellow dress follow. The centre figure has long dark hair and a dark beard; he wears no crown, turban or rudraksha mala visible enough to confirm identity, so his identity is uncertain.2010-02-12February 23 20152015-02-23August 27 20162016-08-27December 23 20082008-12-23A procession of saffron-robed sannyasis and devotees walks across a courtyard floor decorated with colourful kolam designs. A central figure in an orange robe with a long gold-striped border and a heavy white-and-orange flower garland leads the group, smiling, with a white-painted forehead. Behind them, a multicoloured canopy umbrella with tasselled edges and a red-and-gold emblem shades the walk, while other saffron-clad men with white forehead markings and rudraksha malas follow. One man at left holds a silver plate and a small brass vessel. Devotees in white dhotis and orange shawls stand at the sides, with palm trees and a brick wall behind. Several saffron-clad figures carry small ceremonial fans, and the group moves toward a raised platform.2013-02-28April 14 20132013-04-14 +2 copiesJanuary 12 20172017-01-12Outdoor procession on a dirt path with palm and leafy trees behind. A man with long dark swept-back hair and a gold-coloured necklace of marigold garlands walks at the centre in saffron-orange robes, with a multicoloured canopy umbrella with tasselled edges held over him. Around him walk many saffron-robed monks and sannyasis, most shaved-headed, wearing rudraksha and flower garlands, and a few women in orange saris with gold necklaces, one holding a book. Several young onlookers in dark clothes stand at the left. The central figure's appearance is consistent with the page's claim, but the cues are not conclusive, so identity is marked unsure.2013-02-28April 30 20132013-04-30A procession outdoors in bright daylight with sun flaring at the top right. Ornate umbrellas with tasselled fringes, red, orange, yellow and multicoloured, are held aloft over the group. A central figure in an orange-saffron robe wears a long white and red flower garland and rudraksha-style beads, hands folded in front, with long hair swept back and a light forehead mark. Flanking him, several robed monks in saffron carry tall golden staffs, one topped with a trident. Men in white dhotis and white shirts, some with yellow shawls, walk along, and a man at right holds a brass pot with flowers. a person is among the central figures; the saffron-robed figure with the garland and swept-back hair carries the presentation cues.2008-12-25
