Outdoor ceremony on bare ground before a red-walled building and a wooded hill. A figure with long dark hair and a flower garland sits on a red-cushioned throne under a multicoloured canopy, with an orange-clad attendant kneeling before him, while orange-robed participants stand behind, some holding drums. Striped mats cover the ground, and ornate yellow-and-red parasols flank the throne. A brass trident stands at right beside a small decorated pot. A man in white clothing appears at the left edge. The figure on the throne appears to be a person, identified by his long hair, saffron-toned robe, and garland, and placed in a seated honorific role; the description does not infer the event name from the page.

Above him an embroidered multicolour canopy is held on a pole, flanked by two orange-and-yellow parasols with bird emblems. Around the throne, saffron-robed attendants stand and several play hand drums on the left. A brass trident stands at the right edge, and a floral offering sits on a striped mat below. The page identifies the event as Mattu Pongal in Thiruvannamalai. The seated figure is an appearance-based probable Swamiji (probable) in a throne role, with long hair, rudraksha beads and a garland, presented as the honoured guest.2018-01-15January 15 20182018-01-15January 15 20182018-01-15January 15 20182018-01-15Outdoor photo of a ceremony in front of a red-walled building with a forested hill behind. A seated central figure on an ornate silver throne with red cushion wears a rust-brown robe, rudraksha mala and a white and pink floral garland, with long dark hair and a beard; the appearance is consistent with a person candidate, presented as the honoured figure receiving the rite. Four or five saffron-clad sannyasis stand behind with long beaded necklaces, and a bare-chested man in white dhoti with gold border stands at left beside a dark board. Decorated yellow and red umbrellas with white dove emblems and a fringed canopy frame the throne, with a garland-draped offering and marigolds on the ground.2018-01-15Outdoor photo in a dusty courtyard beside a red-painted building with a metal roof and strings of small flags.

Three people in saffron-orange robes stand beside him: one woman holds a brass plate of offerings under a large yellow umbrella with multicoloured fringe and a decorative motif, while two others with rudraksha malas join their hands in prayer. Scattered rose petals and white flowers lie on the ground, with a chalk kolam design near the bottom. Green wooded hills rise behind.2018-01-14December 28 20082008-12-28
