A bearded man stands barefoot on stone paving with eyes closed and palms pressed together at his chest in prayer. He wears a rust-red turban with a crescent and a small gold ornament, a rust-red dhoti and shawl with gold borders, and a dense white-and-pink flower garland reaching his waist. Heavy gold necklaces, bangles and an armlet adorn him, with a red tilak and white vibhuti on his forehead. Behind him, devotees in white and orange saris stand with hands folded, and petals and flowers are scattered on the ground beside a tree trunk.

He wears a pink-and-white flower garland, a dark rudraksha mala and layered gold ceremonial necklaces with a large gold pendant. Scattered flower petals lie on the stones. Behind him, a crowd of devotees in white and orange clothes stands with hands folded in anjali, with greenery and a teal cloth draped on a structure in the background. Appearance-based probable Swamiji cues include the turban, ornate gold necklaces and rudraksha mala, so this is a probable in-person Swamiji performing a devotional gesture during a pada puja.2016-12-03December 03 20162016-12-03December 23 20162016-12-23December 23 20162016-12-23December 23 20162016-12-23December 03 20162016-12-03December 23 20162016-12-23December 03 20162016-12-03December 23 20162016-12-23A photograph of a bearded man standing with eyes closed and hands pressed together in front of his chest in anjali mudra, in an outdoor setting with trees and a blurred crowd behind him. He wears a rust-red turban with a silver crescent moon and a small gold ornament, white and red tilak on his forehead, and a red-brown garment. He has a white-and-pink flower garland draped over his shoulders and many layers of gold beaded necklaces and a gold pendant, with gold bangles on his arms and wrists. The people in the background are slightly out of focus, with a figure in orange clothing at the lower left. The look matches the probable Swamiji cues of a crown-like turban, ceremonial gold necklaces and rudraksha-style beads, shown in a devotional posture, so this is.2016-12-03
