A photograph of a smiling man in an orange-red turban and saffron clothing standing on a raised platform, arms raised overhead while yellow and white petals fall around him. He wears layered red and red-orange flower garlands, rudraksha beads and a gold-decorated garland. Below him the platform is heaped with white, yellow, orange and red flowers. Behind are metal railings, tiered red steps, a wicker basket and a few people in white and saffron clothing. Swamiji (probable): the figure has a crown-like turban and ornate saffron clothing with rudraksha malas, consistent with the page's claim.

July 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 20152015-07-31Outdoor ceremonial scene at an ashram with a red-brick building and a tiered red-and-grey stand with rows of seated people in white behind a metal railing. A central man wears a rust-red turban topped with a yellow flower crown, a rust-red shawl, and layered garlands of red flowers and gold-toned beads, with a rudraksha-style mala visible at his chest; his bare shoulder and arm are dusted with scattered yellow petals and white powder. He holds up a woven bamboo basket on his left side. Beside him a man in white dhoti and shawl with white markings on his forehead holds a hand out toward the basket. Another man in saffron-orange garments with bare head and white forehead marks stands to the right, and a further man in orange cloth is at the edge of the frame. Swamiji (probable): the central figure has a turban, a crown-like flower adornment, saffron-red garments and ornate garlands, matching the page's context.2015-07-31July 31 20152015-07-31July 31 20152015-07-31July 31 20152015-07-31July 31 20152015-07-31July 31 20152015-07-31July 31 20152015-07-31
