Several devotees stand behind, some in white and orange shawls, some clapping and raising hands, in a hall with dark wood-panelled walls.2012-07-12July 07 20092009-07-07December 23 20082008-12-23A photograph of a crowded indoor hall during a festive dance procession at a Brahmotsava event. A central man in saffron-orange robes with long wavy hair and a white flower garland dances barefoot on a tiled floor. Around him, devotees in white clothes with saffron and yellow shawls clap and sway, and many more people stand along the walls. A man in orange robes holds a tall ornate golden staff at left. A blue draped backdrop and banners hang in the background. Several dozen people are visible in the hall.2008-12-23A central figure with long dark hair, a red bindi and an orange saffron robe stands in a procession, wearing a white and red flower garland and a gold necklace, smiling with eyes lowered. Behind him a golden trident-shaped staff is held by a man in orange robes. Around them, people in white and orange and yellow shawls crowd a hall with colourful painted pillars and a blue backdrop, and a man on the right holds a round blue and gold decorated fan. Swamiji (probable): the central figure has long swept-back hair, saffron robe, rudraksha-style gold necklace and garland cues. The image shows a festival procession inside a decorated hall.2008-12-23Outdoor crowd scene at a festival ground under an overcast sky, with trees, a blue tarpaulin-covered stall and a colourful bunting-decorated pavilion behind. A central figure in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl wears a long multi-strand gold-coloured garland and smiles, with long swept-back dark hair and a bare upper body. Around him, men in saffron and orange robes and white dhotis and shirts press close, some with raised hands and folded palms, while a white-clad man with long hair in a white shirt gestures beside them. Several bald men in white and orange attire surround the group, one wearing a rudraksha mala.2010-12-29A blurred outdoor procession with a central figure in saffron-orange robes wearing a white and maroon flower garland and a gold necklace, with a gold headband, walking forward. Beside and behind him, men in white kurtas with orange shawls carry a long gold-topped staff and orange flags stand in the background. A woman in a pink dress and white shawl walks at the right edge. The central figure has long dark hair, a gold headband, a saffron robe, a gold necklace and a flower garland, which are cues consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji (probable). He is shown in a procession with attendants and devotees in the crowd.2007-12-25A photograph taken during a crowded procession indoors. A central figure with long dark hair, bare-shouldered and wearing a saffron-orange garment, a white flower garland with red beads and a gold ceremonial necklace, smiles and walks past a tall gilded trident-like staff at right. Around him, many people in white and saffron-orange robes, some with yellow shawls, press forward and fill the hall, with a blue backdrop behind them. The figure's appearance includes long swept hair, saffron garment, rudraksha-style red beads in the garland and ceremonial gold necklace, which is consistent with the page's a person claim, so this is a person in procession. Foreground devotees in saffron and white are partially visible.2008-12-23July 13 20092009-07-13
