December 18 20162016-12-18A man with long dark hair and a full beard, wearing an orange-red saffron robe draped over one shoulder and a saffron dhoti, walks barefoot down the centre of a red stage along a striped woven runner. Behind him, a large deity murti of a seated figure in red and gold stands on a rock-like pedestal, flanked by a row of gold trishula staffs and gold kalasha-like lamps on a red-and-gold draped platform. Rows of seated students in black and white clothes face the stage on mats, some with blonde hair in ponytails. The appearance-based candidate matches several cues: long hair, saffron robe and a sannyasi's ochre attire, so this is a person in person walking the stage during a yoga session, not a confirmed identity.2016-12-18December 14 20162016-12-14December 18 20162016-12-18December 18 20162016-12-18A man with long braided dark hair and a full beard stands barefoot on a red stage, wearing a saffron-orange sleeveless top and a rust-brown wrap around his waist. He stands in profile with his hands folded at his front, looking downward. Three tall golden trident (trishul) staffs stand in a row to his right on the red stage. On the left, a dark carved rock-like throne or pedestal holds small dark figures and a golden lion figure sits on a red cloth-covered table with gold drapery. The backdrop is a large starry cosmic image of a planet and nebula.2016-12-18December 18 20162016-12-18A photograph of a yoga session in a tented hall with a red stage and striped rainbow runner.
