A photograph under a yellow-railed metal shelter with a corrugated roof, showing a group of devotees around a seated man in a rust-red robe with long dark hair. He sits on a low concrete ledge with his legs folded, hands raised in greeting, and a pile of pink flower petals lies at his feet. To the right, a young man with long dreadlocked hair, rudraksha malas and a ceremonial gold-bordered white dhoti and shawl stands holding leather sandals and speaking. Around them, people in white dhotis, an orange-clad sadhu with flower garlands, a woman in a dark sari, and a man in a blue shirt press in, some with hands folded in namaskar. Nothing in the scene is a clearly identifiable throne or ritual setting; the seated figure's identity is not established by visible cues alone.

A bearded man with long dark hair, wearing a saffron-red robe over his shoulders and a red tilak on his forehead, sits smiling and gesturing with one raised hand. Around him, devotees in white dhotis with gold borders and dark rudraksha mala necklaces stand and sit; one man in front has his palms pressed together in namaskar, and a woman in a grey sari with a bare midriff covers her mouth. A man in white at left holds a white cloth and a red-orange garment.2018-01-04A covered yellow-railed shelter where a seated man in a rust-red wrap and bare feet smiles, flanked by devotees. A man in saffron-orange clothing with a rudraksha mala stands at left; a woman in a white and gold-bordered sari presses her palms together; an older man in white folds his hands. On the right, a bare-chested man with long locks, rudraksha malas and a gold-bordered white dhoti holds a pair of sandals. Several onlookers stand behind the railing. The seated man has long dark hair and a bare chest visible beneath the red wrap, which is consistent with the page's a person reference but the appearance cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so this is a seated figure rather than a confirmed identification.2018-01-04January 04 20182018-01-04January 04 20182018-01-04January 04 20182018-01-04January 04 20182018-01-04January 04 20182018-01-04Photograph of a ritual scene under a corrugated metal shelter with yellow railings. A man in a rust-red robe with long dark hair sits on a stone ledge while a devotee in a saffron-orange top with flower garland bends forward and touches his feet; a girl in orange sits beside. Petals and flowers lie on the ground in front. A bare-chested man in a white dhoti with gold border and rudraksha beads stands at right holding sandals and gesturing. Other devotees in white and blue clothing stand behind, some with folded hands and a tray of offerings. A padapuja-style feet-worship scene. The man in rust robes has long hair and a shawl, a distinctive cue for the event's honoured guru, so the appearance label is probable Swamiji (probable), seated in person.2018-01-04January 04 20182018-01-04
