He wears a tall twisted dark hair bun with rudraksha beads, a red tilak on his forehead, a pink and white lotus garland, heavy gold ornaments on his chest, rudraksha bracelets, and a rust-orange garment. A leopard-print cushion is visible at the lower edge. The page describes the inauguration of the Sadashiva Mandapam at Sri Nithyanandeshwara Devasthanam, Bengaluru.

December 07 20162016-12-07A man with long dark dreadlocked hair piled high in a turban-like crown, a red tilak on his forehead and a short beard, stands bare-shouldered with his palms pressed together in namaste. He wears layers of multicoloured flower garlands in red, yellow, white and green, plus heavy gold ceremonial necklaces with black beads and rudraksha malas on his wrists and arms. Behind him, a silver trident and a silver ceremonial staff with crescent finials stand out, and several people in saffron and orange robes are visible in the background, one with palms folded. The wrapped white-and-gold sash and layered ornaments suggest a formal ritual setting. The setting appears to be an indoor temple or hall with greenery at the top. Visible cues include the crown-like hair, ornate gold necklaces and garlands, which support the appearance-based label Swamiji (probable) for this figure.2018-04-14 +1 copiesDecember 07 20162016-12-07May 07 20172017-05-07August 08 20162016-08-08November 11 20162016-11-11 +1 copiesNovember 11 20172017-11-11August 25 20172017-08-25 +1 copiesFebruary 27 20172017-02-27December 22 20162016-12-22A bearded man with long dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead sits on a red cushioned throne in front of a large gold scalloped backrest.
