A young man in a rust-red wrap and gold-bordered cloth, wearing long white jasmine garlands with yellow and red flower accents and a thick rudraksha mala, pulls a golden rope upward with both hands while looking up and smiling. Tall coconut palm fronds fill the background. This appears to be a flag-hoisting moment during a festival.

Beside him stands an ornately carved brown temple-style pillar or kalasha wrapped in flower garlands with red blossoms and green leaves, under a palm-and-tree background. The scene reflects a dwajarohanam flag-hoisting at a temple. The man matches the Swamiji (probable) cues of swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala, and is shown leading the flag-hoisting ritual.2016-01-11January 11 20162016-01-11A man in a saffron-orange shawl and a gold bead necklace holds a long orange rope overhead with both hands, beside a copper-coloured temple sculpture draped with yellow and purple marigold garlands and dried palm fronds. His forehead bears white and red tilak marks and his dark hair is loose. The setting appears to be a dwajarohanam or flag-hoisting rite, with the rope. Swamiji (probable): the saffron clothing, loose long hair and gold beaded necklace match the page's claim, so he is labelled a probable Swamiji present in person.2010-01-02 +1 copies
