A figure in an orange robe and orange turban sits on a red zebra-striped cushioned seat with gold-carved armrests, wearing a heavy gold necklace and holding a white string that he gives to a man. The seated figure has long hair pinned at the back, smiles and gestures with both hands. Facing him, a man in a white kurta with a red-orange shawl bows low with his hands near the string. Other people in saffron and orange robes with rudraksha malas stand behind, and a participant in white and red-orange stands at right. Ceiling fans, lights and white walls surround the room. The page indicates Swamiji at this event, but the seated figure's appearance shows several cues (long hair, orange turban, gold necklace, saffron robe) that are consistent with a probable identification, so this is an appearance-based candidate, shown in person.2015-07-20July 19 20152015-07-19July 03 20152015-07-03September 11 20152015-09-11A seated figure in a saffron-orange turban and orange robe with gold-toned ornate necklaces and a red wristband leans forward on a red and gold ornate throne, extending his right arm to touch the head of a young girl in a white top with a red-and-white shawl. Behind her, a priest in orange-red robes and a white forehead band stands beside a shaved-headed attendant, and a row of children in white uniforms with red shawls waits in a hall with orange draping and ceiling fans. The scene reads as a blessing given during a ceremony. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears a saffron turban, orange robes and ornate gold necklaces on a throne, a presentation consistent with the page's attribution.2015-07-20A seated figure in an orange turban and orange robes, wearing a gold-beaded necklace and sitting on a red cushioned throne with gold trim, extends his right arm toward a standing man in a white shirt and cream trousers. The man wears a red-and-white shawl, a beaded mala, and a white thread is held between them. Behind them, a robed priest in orange and gold, wearing rudraksha beads, works with the thread, and other white-clad attendants stand nearby. A large seated audience in white clothes fills the hall under ceiling fans. The seated figure is an appearance-based probable Swamiji candidate, identifiable by orange turban, orange robes and gold necklace, shown seated on a throne receiving a devotee during a ceremonial thread-tying ritual.2015-07-20
