Outdoor ritual procession under trees. Central man wears a maroon-red turban with a gold and red ornament, a red tilak on his forehead, a long pink and white lotus garland, heavy gold temple-style necklaces and a maroon-brown robe. He holds a lit oil lamp flame in one hand and smiles. Behind him a man in white dhoti with gold borders and rudraksha beads holds a silver staff and a handbell. A cameraman in orange clothing films beside him. A silver trident is visible in the background. Swamiji (probable): the central figure shows a red turban with ornament, ceremonial gold necklaces and rudraksha-style adornment, matching the page's claim.

December 14 20162016-12-14Outdoor ritual procession under trees. A central bearded man in a maroon turban with a jewelled crown ornament, wearing a maroon robe, a heavy gold necklace of rudraksha and a gold pendant, and a long pink-and-white lotus and jasmine garland, holds a lit oil lamp in one hand and a silver bell in the other. A man in a white dhoti with gold borders and a rudraksha mala holds a silver staff, and a man in an orange robe holds papers while another filming man with a camera stands nearby. A silver trident is visible in the background. The central figure shows distinctive ornate adornments and a crown, with a turban and rudraksha cues, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity.2016-12-14December 14 20162016-12-14December 14 20162016-12-14December 14 20162016-12-14December 23 20162016-12-23December 14 20162016-12-14December 03 20162016-12-03December 23 20162016-12-23December 23 20162016-12-23A bearded man in a maroon turban with a gold ornament stands barefoot on a stone platform, smiling and holding a small flame lamp in one hand and a silver bell in the other. He wears a brown dhoti-style garment, heavy gold necklaces with a temple-shaped pendant, gold bangles, and layered garlands of red roses, pink lotus buds, white jasmine and yellow marigolds. Behind him stands a large brass vessel with a flame and hanging garlands, and a carved wooden pillar with broom-like grass bundles is at left. Floral decorations and a partly visible orange-clad person appear at the bottom edge. Swamiji (probable): the man has a long-hair-free turban, gold necklaces and a ceremonial brown robe consistent with the page's identification of Swamiji at this event, performing a ritual with lamp and bell.2016-12-14Outdoor procession photograph under a leafy tree canopy. A central figure in a maroon-brown turban with a gold-and-red ornament, a long pink and white lotus garland, and heavy gold layered necklaces over a rust-brown robe holds a lit oil lamp in one hand and a silver bell in the other. Behind him, several men in white dhotis with gold borders and white sacred ash on their foreheads stand in line; one at left holds hands in anjali, and others wear rudraksha malas. Silver staffs and a trident rise in the background. Swamiji (probable): the central figure's turban, gold ornaments and maroon robe match the page's Swamiji claim, though appearance alone is not conclusive.2016-12-14
