April 21 20162016-04-21Outdoor procession under a large yellow and red fringed canopy held on a long pole. At centre, a smiling man with long dark swept-back hair wears a rust-red robe, a thick beaded ceremonial gold-and-amber necklace and a rudraksha mala, with a cloth draped over one shoulder; he holds the canopy pole. Around him walk several men in saffron and orange robes with orange and red turbans, many wearing rudraksha malas and beaded armbands. To the right, an elderly bare-chested man with white hair and beard, wearing a white dhoti and gold ornaments and a rudraksha mala, walks with his hands clasped at chest height. A man in a saffron robe stands at far right, and a white-clad man stands at left. A red-walled building forms the backdrop.2015-01-13April 18 20162016-04-18January 13 20152015-01-13Outdoor procession at a Kumbh Mela-style gathering under a clear blue sky. A man in the centre wears a rust-orange turban, orange-brown dhoti and a heavy layered necklace of beads and gold, with palms pressed together in greeting; a large yellow parasol with beaded fringe is held above him. Around him, sadhus and attendants wear white dhotis, orange and maroon robes and rudraksha-style beaded malas; one man in a white dhoti carries a silver staff, and a man in a yellow shirt holds his hands together. A tent structure and a temple spire appear in the background. Several people are visible in the procession.2016-04-22April 21 20162016-04-21December 31 20092009-12-31April 21 20162016-04-21December 27 20082008-12-27November 11 20132013-11-11March 11 20172017-03-11Outdoor photo on a dusty red-earth ground beside a field of flower petals. A procession of saffron-robed devotees carries ornate umbrellas and a tall staff with a trident-like finial. A bearded man in a rust-orange robe and a long rudraksha-style mala stands centre, his hair long and swept back, facing a bald older man in white who bows toward him. Behind them, orange-clad women and devotees stand among a crowd, and a bus and vehicles are visible in the background. Swamiji (probable): the central bearded figure in rust-orange robes with long hair and a long beaded mala matches the page's identification, and is shown in person receiving a bow during the procession.2017-02-04
