He wears a thick yellow marigold garland with a pink flower cluster, multiple gold chains, a gold waist belt and a sandalwood tilak. Behind him a younger attendant in orange-saffron cloth with a white forehead mark holds the parasol pole. Seated devotees in cream and white garments line the side, and strings of coloured lights and a smoky haze fill the background of an illuminated tented hall. a person: the walking man has long swept-back hair, gold necklaces and ochre robes, but the appearance is only partially distinctive.2017-08-02December 23 20162016-12-23Photograph of a satsang-style event in a bright hall with a red-carpeted walkway and white floor cushions. A smiling man with a red bindi and tripundra-style forehead marks wears a rust-red dhoti and wrap with gold borders and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace with a large gold pendant. Behind him, a man in a white dhoti with gold border and rudraksha beads holds his hands together, and seated devotees in white and orange-red shawls sit with palms pressed in namaskar. A gold-leaf canopy and draped decorations frame a deity murti area in the background.2015-10-08April 17 20162016-04-17A central figure in a rust-orange robe and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace with a large gold pendant walks along a green-carpeted path in a white-walled hall. He is holding a golden staff topped with a finial and is shaded by a bright yellow parasol with a sequined fringe held by an attendant. Around him, several men in white dhotis with gold borders, some wearing rudraksha malas and beaded necklaces, walk in procession. One man at the right wears a white dhoti and a rudraksha mala and stands with his hands folded. Others in the background wear rust-coloured cloth. A procession with a parasol and staff suggests a ceremonial escort, but the scene shows no specific ritual act.2016-04-17Photo 11702162 +2 copiesPhoto 11702453 +2 copiesA procession in a white-tented hall with green matting.
