A photograph of a river ghat with a green water channel and red-and-white stone steps. In the foreground, heaps of marigolds, chrysanthemums and rose petals in yellow, orange, red and white cover a stone platform beside a silver metal railing and a wooden plank. A red-and-gold cloth is draped over an object at left, and a woven basket sits at center. At the top of the steps, two people in red and white clothing stand near a figure in white with a red garment, and a person in a red shawl and white garment is partly visible at the right edge. Plain stone steps line the upper background.

July 31 20152015-07-31Outdoor ghat-side scene beside green water and stone steps. Red-and-gold cloth-draped structure holds a large red basket heaped with yellow marigold garlands and loose red and white petals. Several people pour petals from woven wicker baskets into the water and onto the offering. A woman in a white sari with a red-bordered blouse stands at the steps; a man in a pink shirt with a red thread on his wrist scatters flowers. Metal handrail rises from the water.2015-07-31July 31 20152015-07-31July 31 20152015-07-31A smiling man in a rust-red turban and saffron-orange sannyasi robes sits on a flower-covered platform beside a steel railing at a stone-stepped water tank. He wears long red and white flower garlands, rudraksha-style beaded mala necklaces with gold-toned beads, and a bangle on his wrist. Attendants in white and orange robes around him hold woven baskets and scatter petals; marigold and white chrysanthemum petals cover the platform. Another figure sits on the steps in the background. The appearance of this man is consistent with the probable Swamiji cues of turban, saffron-orange attire and rudraksha malas, and the page indicates Swamiji was present at this event, so he is labelled Swamiji (probable) in this in-person photo.2015-07-31July 31 20152015-07-31July 31 20152015-07-31July 31 20152015-07-31July 31 20152015-07-31July 31 20152015-07-31A photograph taken from an elevated position of a priest in a rust-red turban and striped orange-and-yellow cloth pouring white liquid from a vessel onto a large mound of flower petals in red, orange, yellow and white. Red and orange decorated canopy frames surround the mound beside a green water tank. Behind, rows of seated devotees in white and orange clothing fill tiered stone steps under trees.
