December 23 20092009-12-23A man in an orange saffron garment with a long orange cord-and-white cloth held in both hands stands on a raised float decorated with garlands of white, yellow, red and purple flowers. He wears a heavy gold bead necklace over the saffron cloth and has a red tilak on his forehead, with long swept-back hair. Behind him a coconut palm frond fills the background and a gilded ornamental pillar with floral garlands stands at left. Another person in orange is partially visible at the lower right. The scene resembles a procession moment on a decorated ratha or palanquin, with a Swamiji (probable) candidate on the float based on the orange clothing, long hair and gold necklaces.2009-12-23January 02 20092009-01-02July 08 20092009-07-08July 26 20102010-07-26A smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red tilak stands outdoors before a tall palm tree, pulling a white cloth down an orange rope while holding it aloft. He wears an orange robe and a long garland of white jasmine, yellow and red flowers with green leaves. Beside him, a figure in an orange robe holds a brass tray piled with white cloth and orange rope. At left, a copper pedestal and a garland-draped pillar stand near the flowers. Partially visible people in orange and white are at the lower right. Probable Swamiji cues include the long hair, flower garlands and orange robe, and he is presented as the central figure of a ritual procession-style event.2009-12-23July 27 20082008-07-27December 23 20092009-12-23December 23 20092009-12-23June 09 20092009-06-09A 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 copiesA person in an orange saffron robe stands outdoors before a palm frond, gripping orange ropes with both hands and looking upward with a smile while water sprays around them. They wear long layered garlands of white jasmine, yellow and red marigolds, purple flowers and green leaves, plus a beaded gold-coloured mala necklace. Their dark hair falls past their shoulders. The scene suggests a festival or ceremonial moment with water and ropes. Visible cues including long hair, saffron clothing, garlands and the mala are consistent with a person, though the face is not clearly visible.2009-12-23
