A bearded man in a rust-red turban and matching rust-red dhoti-style garment stands in profile on a paved walkway, wearing a heavy multi-strand gold necklace, gold armlets and bracelets, and long layered garlands of pink lotus-bud strings, white jasmine and red and white flowers draped over his shoulder and chest. Long dark hair falls behind him. Behind him, bare-chested young men wear rudraksha malas, and a man in white dhoti and an orange-clad figure stand among a crowd in a temple-like courtyard with red pillars. The scene suggests a procession or ceremonial reception. Swamiji (probable) is recognizable by the rust-red turban, long hair, ornate gold jewellery and elaborate flower garlands, while the setting is an outdoor ritual gathering.

A bearded man stands barefoot on stone paving with eyes closed and palms pressed together at his chest in prayer. He wears a rust-red turban with a crescent and a small gold ornament, a rust-red dhoti and shawl with gold borders, and a dense white-and-pink flower garland reaching his waist. Heavy gold necklaces, bangles and an armlet adorn him, with a red tilak and white vibhuti on his forehead. Behind him, devotees in white and orange saris stand with hands folded, and petals and flowers are scattered on the ground beside a tree trunk.2016-12-03December 23 20162016-12-23December 23 20162016-12-23December 23 20162016-12-23December 23 20162016-12-23December 23 20162016-12-23December 23 20162016-12-23December 23 20162016-12-23December 23 20162016-12-23December 23 20162016-12-23December 23 20162016-12-23December 03 20162016-12-03
