He smiles down and holds a white thread that a young boy in a white t-shirt and grey shorts kneels to receive at his neck, while another person's hands hold the thread spool behind. A red banner behind reads Anandotsava with a schedule, and an orange-robed figure and seated white-clad people appear in the background beside a terracotta wall. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron robes, rudraksha mala and ornate throne fit the page's description of the presiding figure.2010-12-16Photograph of a seated man in an ornate gold-and-red throne wearing saffron-orange robes with gold border, a leopard-print shawl, and a rudraksha mala, smiling broadly with long swept-back hair. A young boy in white kurta and white dhoti stands before him, tying or adjusting a white cord around the seated man's neck. Behind them a bald man in white stands near a pink wall with a sign in Kannada script and a large poster showing a smiling figure in an orange turban beside a schedule-style list of text. The seated man has long hair, a crown-like ornate throne, and saffron/orange clothing with rudraksha malas and a leopard-print shawl, which matches the a person cues; the ceremony appears to be a seated honouring with a cord being tied, and the image is a photo of a live event.2010-12-16Outdoor photo of a seated man on an ornate red and gold throne, wearing orange sannyasi-style robes, a leopard-print shawl draped over his shoulders, a rudraksha mala, and a red tilak on his forehead, with long dark hair; his eyes are closed and he smiles. An older man in a white sweatshirt, black knit cap and grey trousers kneels before him, holding up a thread or string near his face while the seated figure raises a hand. A leopard-print mat lies on the ground, and a banner with a portrait of a smiling figure in an orange turban and the word Anandotsava is behind them. Orange cloth covers the floor and a pink wall is in the background. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the a person candidate cues described on the page, but the identification is uncertain, so the role is given as a seated man receiving a ritual.2010-12-16December 16 20102010-12-16
