In the centre a bearded man with a tall dark turban and a red tilak walks forward, wearing a deep red garment, a heavy garland of white and red flowers, gold ornaments and gold bangles. Behind and beside him, men wear rudraksha malas, bare upper bodies and white or red dhotis with gold borders, and women in white saris follow along the steps. Pillars, red and orange structures and a stone floor fill the background. The scene is a temple procession, with the central figure appearing to be the Swamiji (probable) by his turban, garland and distinctive ceremonial gold necklace while walking in front of the group.2018-05-08September 28 20172017-09-28A man in a bronze-brown silk garment wrapped with gold borders walks forward with eyes lowered and a faint smile, wearing a thick red and pink flower garland over a gold-beaded necklace. A red bindi marks his forehead and gold earrings hang from his ears; his upper arm is bare beside a white sleeve. Behind him, devotees in orange and maroon robes stand in an open-sided hall, some with palms joined in namaste, a young boy in orange with a tilak, and women in maroon saris with rudraksha malas. The scene suggests a welcoming or procession moment under a dark roof with palm trees outside.2013-10-05December 23 20162016-12-23Outdoor procession in a wooded compound. A man in the foreground wears a brown dhoti and a heavy gold necklace and pendant, with a thick layered garland of red, yellow and pink flowers over his shoulders, a vermilion mark on his forehead, and bangles on his wrists; he walks forward while looking to the side. Behind him an orange-robed sannyasi with a rudraksha mala walks barefoot, and several bare-chested attendants and men in orange cloth follow, some with orange turbans and rudraksha necklaces. Sunlight filters through trees and an orange cloth banner hangs at upper right.2017-12-31
