A man with short dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron dhoti and a long multicolour flower garland with red and white blossoms, stands centre frame looking toward a crowd. Around him, a bare-chested man in orange with gold beaded necklaces stands at left, a woman in orange-red sari at right, and many girls and women in white and light blue salwar clothing, some wearing rudraksha-style beaded malas, pressed close together around the central figure.2008-01-01January 01 20082008-01-01December 23 20082008-12-23January 01 20082008-01-01November 12 20082008-11-12January 01 20082008-01-01Indoor photo of a crowd gathered around a seated figure in orange robes with long, dark, wavy hair and a wooden rudraksha mala, who is smiling and raising a hand toward the people in front. Around them, devotees and attendants stand and sit: a man on the left in an orange shawl and white clothes, a woman in white with her hair tied back holding a small card, a standing young monk in orange with a rudraksha mala, and a man in a red shirt behind. Red curtains and a wall fan are in the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure in orange with long hair and a rudraksha mala matches the page's description of the presiding figure at this event.2008-03-23January 01 20082008-01-01Photo of a crowded outdoor festival tent with blue and white draping and a black speaker at right. A man with short dark hair in an orange-saffron robe and a long white and pink flower garland stands at centre, smiling. He is surrounded by many devotees, mostly young girls and boys in white clothes, plus women in white and one woman in a red-orange sari holding a plate of flower petals. Some people raise their hands in greeting, and one person in the foreground is partly visible. The man in the orange robe matches the page's a person context, but his appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so this is a sannyasi in a flower garland among devotees. Other visible people include a bald boy in white and a woman in a blue top.2008-01-01A photograph of a festive crowd gathered outdoors around a central man with long, swept-back dark hair, smiling broadly with a red bindi on his forehead. He wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over his shoulders and a heavy gold necklace, and a large garland of white jasmine and red flowers hangs around his neck. He raises one arm and points toward the people around him. Behind him, devotees in white and orange clothes clap, sing and raise their hands; a woman in an orange shawl and a woman in white with rudraksha beads smile and gesture. In the foreground, a bald man in white kurta is seen from behind, clapping. An ornate gold and red throne stands in the background above the crowd. Probable Swamiji cues: long hair, saffron cloth, gold necklace and floral garland, as the central celebrated figure at a Jayanti celebration.2008-01-01
