A dimly lit photograph of a crowd at a night gathering. At the centre, a long-haired man in a rust-orange kurta with a gold necklace stands among devotees, his face turned toward a woman in a cream sari with a red-bordered pallu and a beaded necklace who holds flowers and presses her palms together. Around them, people in saffron and orange garments, some with flower garlands, smile and raise hands in greeting. A man at right in white dhoti and shawl with folded hands and a small gold chain stands at the edge of the group. The strong spotlight leaves most faces in shadow. The swept-back grey-streaked hair and saffron-toned clothing match the visible cues for the page's a person, so this is a probable identification from appearance and the page's stated presence.

A long-haired man with a swept-back dark mane and a trimmed beard, wearing a rust-red robe, smiles at center while raising a flower-decorated hand near his head, with a garland of red and white roses at his waist. Around him devotees crowd close: a woman with dark hair and earrings smiles at lower left, a man with long dreadlocks grins at upper left, and a man in a white dhoti and gold-bordered shawl wears a large rudraksha-style bead necklace at right. Foreground heads are blurred, and a rudraksha mala is visible at lower right. A ceremonial yellow object is raised above the crowd in the background.2017-05-26 +1 copiesMay 13 20152015-05-13May 13 20152015-05-13 +1 copiesMay 26 20172017-05-26A dimly lit indoor photo of a long-haired man in a rust-red kurta smiling as he walks forward through a dark hall. Beside him stands a bearded man with shoulder-length hair wearing a white dhoti with a gold border, a heavy gold-bead necklace and a rudraksha-style mala, holding a bunch of pink roses. Women and attendants with red bindis and roses follow behind them, and a shadowy crowd fills the background. The central figure has long swept-back hair and rich ornamental clothing, and is consistent with a person presence, though the appearance is only partly clear.2015-05-13May 26 20172017-05-26A dimly lit hall where a procession moves forward through a crowd of silhouetted people. At centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair and a moustache wears an orange-red kurta and a thin gold chain, holding a small bouquet of flowers. Beside him to the right, a bearded man in a bare-chested saffron-gold shawl and a red-marked forehead carries flowers, and another man in a white dhoti with a garland stands next to him. Two women in saris with flower garlands walk to the left of the central figure. Many people are seen in shadow along both sides, and a faint projection screen glows in the background. Whether the central figure is the a person is uncertain from appearance.2017-05-26May 26 20172017-05-26
