A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a tall black turban-style head covering and a white forehead mark sits on a red and gold cushioned seat, threading beads from a clear plastic box held in his lap, with a rudraksha-style orange bead necklace draped over his shoulders. A young girl in an orange dress reaches up toward his hands. Behind them, several people in orange and white ritual garments stand near brass oil lamps and a tall golden trident-topped staff, beside a red-walled courtyard with a carved wooden pillar and a leopard-print cushion. The scene suggests a temple ceremony. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears a tall black turban, saffron robes and an ornate beaded necklace, consistent with the page's claim that he attended this event.

A man seated on a red-cushioned throne with a leopard-print cloth wears an orange robe, an orange shawl with a beaded garland, a tall topknot wrapped in black cloth and a white tilak on his forehead; he holds a small clear box and extends a string of beads toward a smiling woman. She wears an orange saree with gold border, a beaded necklace and a white forehead mark, and cups her hands to receive it. Behind them, several young people in orange and white dhotis stand near tall brass oil lamps and a trident-topped brass stand. The photo appears to show a Dwajarohanam flag-hoisting event at Nithyanandeshwara Paramashiva Devalayam.2016-01-11January 11 20162016-01-11January 11 20162016-01-11January 11 20162016-01-11January 11 20162016-01-11January 11 20162016-01-11A seated man in a red-orange robe and a tall black turban sits on a wooden seat with a leopard-print cushion, holding a clear plastic box of dried grains or seeds that he is touching with his fingers.
