Photograph inside a temple hall of two saffron-robed figures standing before a crowd. The elderly, bald, bare-chested man in front wears a rudraksha mala headband and multiple rudraksha and gold necklaces, with gold bangles and a ring, and an orange cloth wrapped around his waist with gold borders. Beside him stands a younger man with a short-haired head wearing a rudraksha headband, a long gold garland, rudraksha bracelets, and an orange robe with gold trim, hands pressed together in namaskar. Behind them, several onlookers in white dhotis and a man in a grey shirt stand among the crowd, and a teal and gold ceremonial fan or umbrella panel is visible at right. Stone walls and pillars form the setting.

A man with long swept-back hair, a white tilak on his forehead, a crown-like ornament absent, rudraksha malas and a gold neck pendant, wearing saffron-orange robes with yellow borders and a draped orange shawl, walks barefoot across the stone courtyard. Beside him a shaven-headed man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala walks with a face mask. Several men in white dhotis and shirts walk behind in the crowd, one holding papers. Probable Swamiji (probable): the central figure has long hair, rudraksha malas, ceremonial gold pendant and saffron robes, consistent with the page's identification.2012-05-22June 05 20122012-06-05 +1 copiesPhoto 11732827Photo 11730651 +1 copiesSaffron-robed men walk through a temple corridor under a red umbrella with tasselled fringe. The man on the left wears a pink and green garland, a gold bead necklace, a red headband and a white forehead mark with a red dot. The elderly man on the right, bare-chested with a long saffron cloth draped over his shoulder, wears multiple rudraksha malas and a gold ornamental pendant. Other saffron-robed men and a few onlookers in white stand behind them. Yellow walls and an arched doorway frame the scene. Some of the saffron-robed men may be a person, given the ornate gold necklaces, rudraksha malas and presiding-procession setting; the appearance is not certain enough to confirm.2012-05-16
