Several women in orange and white saris and young girls sit in the foreground, some holding pale paper, with more devotees behind.2016-12-07December 07 20162016-12-07A photograph of an outdoor-style stage event with red draped curtains and a large audience of mostly seated devotees in white, orange and red clothing. Centre stage, a bearded man with a tall red turban and long hair sits on a golden bull-shaped (Nandi) seat with a red cushioned backrest, wearing an orange-red dhoti-style wrap, a bare chest with gold armbands, and multiple strands of gold beads and garlands. He holds a golden trident (trishul) upright beside him with his right hand raised near his chest, smiling. In the foreground, many people are seated facing the stage, and several women in white and orange saris sit near the front. Golden ritual objects and a flower garland are visible at the edges. The swami identification is an appearance-based probable match with the turban, long hair, ornate gold necklaces, rudraksha-style beads and saffron-red wrap, so this is a probable in-person presence, not a confirmed identity.2016-12-07December 07 20162016-12-07December 07 20162016-12-07
