He wears an orange-saffron turban and orange wrap, a red tilak on his forehead, bangles and rings, and raises his right hand in greeting while smiling. He is draped in layered garlands of pink flowers, white blooms and yellow marigolds. Beside him a man in orange robes and a second orange-clad attendant sit on cushions, with festival lights glowing in the background.

He wears a red tilak on his forehead, rudraksha-style beaded bracelets, rings, a gold necklace, and a large flower garland; he raises both open palms in greeting. Behind him, a man with a shaved head and light sacred markings on his forehead holds a tall silver staff. Illuminated street lamps and a crowd fill the background. Swamiji (probable): the saffron turban, shawl, beaded mala and ceremonial garlands suggest a sannyasi being honoured in procession.2013-02-12A smiling man in an orange-saffron robe and a rust-brown turban with a white tilak stands under a canopy with a raised right hand and holds a tall silver staff in his left hand. He wears a thick pink and white flower garland, a brown rudraksha-style mala, and a heavy gold necklace. Behind him, a fringed canopy in purple, teal and orange hangs with more flower garlands, and other figures in saffron and white stand nearby, one with a bare upper body and white markings, and another in white with gold trim on the left. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure, distinguished by his turban, saffron clothing, long hair and gold ornaments, shown during a procession setting.2013-02-10February 22 20132013-02-22 +1 copiesA smiling man in saffron-orange robes and an orange shawl stands on a decorated procession float, raising one hand in greeting.

A central man wears an orange-saffron turban and orange shawl, with red and white tilak on his forehead, and smiles while raising both open hands in greeting. He wears layered garlands of red roses, white flowers and marigolds, a gold necklace, rudraksha-style beaded bracelets and a gold wristwatch. Behind him is a decorated canopy with colourful fabric and marigold garlands, and a silver-tipped spear-like staff is held by a bald man in white clothing with ash markings to the left. Whether the central man is the a person candidate cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so identity is marked unsure.2013-02-12
