Stage performance against a dark blue starry backdrop with two white stage lights. Several young men and women in saffron-red and orange garments and turbans stand in a ceremonial scene. In the center, a man with bare upper body wears a white dhoti with gold border and a red shawl over his shoulder, facing away. Beside him a figure in a red turban stands with hands together. At right, a bare-backed young man in white dhoti stands with palms pressed in namaskar. Other participants wear red beaded necklaces and rudraksha-style malas. The scene appears to be a ritual or initiation presentation.

In the foreground at right, a man with long dark hair, a red-orange turban, rudraksha malas and bead necklaces, and an orange-red shawl stands with palms pressed together in namaste. Beside him, a bare-backed man in a white dhoti with gold border faces away, hands joined, and a shirtless man in a white dhoti also stands with his back to the camera. Further left, another person in an orange-red robe and turban stands near a white-draped table, and a figure in white with a gold-bordered cloth is seen from behind. The man in the orange turban shows distinctive long hair and ornate necklaces, but the page does not establish his identity from appearance, so he is described by role as a sannyasi-style participant in devotional posture.2018-05-20May 21 20162016-05-21April 04 20182018-04-04 +1 copiesApril 15 20182018-04-15December 30 20182018-12-30 +1 copiesMay 20 20182018-05-20 +2 copiesApril 25 20182018-04-25 +1 copiesPhotograph of a bare-chested man in a rust-orange turban with a gold crescent ornament and rudraksha beads, wearing a white and pink flower garland and orange cloth, placing his right hand on the head of a young man in a white kurta. Behind them stands a gilded statue of a standing figure and a wall fan. A woman in a purple sari and an additional person in dark clothing are partly visible at the right and bottom edge. The man in the orange turban shows a distinctive appearance matching the Swamiji description with rudraksha, crescent ornament and garland, so the appearance-based candidate label applies. The scene reads as a blessing or initiation moment during an event.2018-04-17
