A photograph of a man standing barefoot on a metal-railed platform beside a red tiered stone stairway lined with small black shrine-like plinths. He wears a rust-red saffron-toned garment draped over his body and a long white flower garland around his neck, with a red tilak on his forehead and long dark hair swept back. He stands with eyes closed and hands at his sides in a still, meditative posture. A striped woven cloth covers part of the platform edge, and orange flags hang nearby on white poles. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), with long swept-back hair, saffron-toned robes and a flower garland as cues; he stands as a devotee in meditative stillness at the stepped platform.

A barefoot man with long dark hair stands on a striped mat at the edge of a water pool, facing right. He wears a rust-orange draped garment, a white forehead marking, and a long garland of white and pink flowers around his neck. Behind him, tiers of red-painted steps are lined with rows of black stone Shivalinga-style shrines, with orange flags on poles beside them. A white metal railing borders the platform. Appearance-based candidate for a person: the long hair, saffron-orange garment and flower garland are present, so this is an in_person candidate, though identity is uncertain from appearance alone.2017-07-17 +1 copiesPhoto of a ceremonial procession on a raised wooden walkway beside a water tank, with stepped red-brick steps behind lined with small shrine figures and lamps. A long-haired man in a rust-red dhoti and bare chest walks barefoot, carrying a long pole across his shoulder, with a gold necklace and bangle. Ahead, a bare-backed attendant in orange cloth holds a tall ceremonial pole with a red-and-orange banner, and another attendant in orange stands at left. Green trees and an orange fabric canopy frame the top of the frame.2017-06-19December 08 20162016-12-08June 19 20172017-06-19July 31 20152015-07-31July 17 20172017-07-17 +1 copiesDecember 08 20162016-12-08December 08 20162016-12-08A bearded man in a rust-red turban decorated with a white floral ornament walks along a stone path at night. He wears rust-brown draped robes, a leopard-print cloth wrapped at his waist, a long gold beaded necklace with a gold pendant, gold armbands and bangles. Behind him, rows of black Shiva lingams sit on tiered red brick steps at an outdoor ritual site, with red flags and white railings.

Behind him, rows of saffron-robed and white-clad devotees sit on red steps with brass lamps, some with palms pressed together. Pale orange flags and white railings frame the scene. Swamiji (probable): the standing man has long swept-back hair, a flower garland and an orange dhoti with shawl, and the page describes a Rudra Abhishekam satsang event where he appears. The seated devotees appear to be in prayer during a ritual bathing and worship setting.2017-05-29Night-time outdoor ritual scene at a stepped tank lined with rows of black Shiva lingams on red-brick tiers. In the centre, a barefoot man in a rust-brown dhoti and a patterned leopard-print cloth wears a brown turban with a white floral ornament, a gold-coloured layered garland and a gold pendant, with his hands on his hips. Behind him, a red flag stands on the steps. On the left, a man in white dhoti and shawl with a garland stands beside several boys and a girl in saffron-orange garments and rudraksha malas. A woman in a green sari stands among the lingams in the upper background. The wider setting is white metal railing and mesh fencing.
