Outdoor photo of a crowd of devotees on stone steps before a pink-and-cream temple building with carved pillars and palm trees above. In the left foreground a man in orange robes, with long dark hair, white and orange forehead markings, a white flower garland with red and yellow blossoms and a gold necklace, smiles and raises one hand. Behind him a bald man in white dhoti with a gold chain and orange cloth stands. Women in white saris with orange borders and rudraksha malas sit nearby, and a woman in orange sari at right holds up a camera. Many people in orange and white ritual clothes fill the steps and background. The a person tag is unsure because the features and presentation are not clearly distinctive enough to confirm a candidate.

A central figure with long dark hair sits barefoot in a saffron-orange robe and wears a white and red flower garland over a gold necklace, raising one hand in greeting while smiling. Around him, men in saffron and white dhotis with gold-bordered cloths, some wearing gold necklaces and white vibhuti forehead marks, clasp hands in namaste or raise arms. A woman in white with an orange shawl sits at right. Onlookers and a cameraman stand behind the steps, with a pink temple wall and carved stone pillars in the background.2010-12-29A photograph of a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes seated on stone temple steps, wearing a thick garland of white flowers, green leaves and red blooms with a gold necklace. He smiles while a man in white dhoti and shawl with a tilak reaches toward him, offering a hand gesture. Around them, other saffron-robed men and white-clad devotees sit or stand, and a woman in orange sari sits with hands folded. A photographer stands in the background near a pink temple wall. Petals are scattered on the steps. The man in the centre shows distinctive long swept-back hair, saffron robes and ornate gold necklace, consistent with a person candidate in person being honoured during a temple event.2010-12-29December 29 20102010-12-29December 29 20102010-12-29December 29 20102010-12-29December 29 20102010-12-29Outdoor photo at a temple entrance with a pink-washed wall and carved stone pillars. In the centre, a smiling man with long dark hair and a red bindi wears a green and white flower garland with gold pendant, and a saffron cloth. Behind him, a man in saffron with a gold chain and a bald man in white dhoti with saffron-yellow border and gold necklace raise their hands in greeting. Devotees in saffron and white clothing clap and wave, and a man in a red shirt holds a camera. A woman in saffron wears a flower garland at right, and a man in a white shirt stands at the rear. The hair and dress cues on the central figure are distinctive, but the page only supplies a name and no clear appearance match, so the identity is uncertain.2010-12-29December 29 20102010-12-29December 29 20102010-12-29A photograph of an outdoor temple-precinct scene. A long-haired man seated on stone steps wears an orange saffron garment, a white vibhuti mark on his forehead, and a thick garland of green leaves, white flowers and red blooms with a gold ornament at his chest. He gestures with one hand while a woman in a white sari with a yellow shawl bends forward to offer him something from a yellow packet. Behind them, standing figures in orange robes and white clothes watch, one man holding a camera, and a pink temple structure with tiered architecture rises in the background under palm trees. The seated man has distinctive long hair, saffron robes and ornate gold necklace cues, so he is described as a probable Swamiji in the in-person presence of the event.2010-12-29
