Outdoor photo of a seated woman in a maroon-red turban and a deep maroon-brown bare-shouldered wrap, wearing a long rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, her hands clasped in her lap and a smile on her face. She sits on a leopard-print cloth over white sand at the water's edge, with a crowd standing behind her: several women in pink, magenta and cream saris with rudraksha malas, a bald man in saffron-orange clothing and beads, and a girl in a lilac dress. Participants wear orange-and-white conference lanyards with badges. Several people hold ritual implements, including a red-and-white ceremonial staff. The sea and sand are visible in the foreground and background.

He wears a sleeveless orange robe and a double strand of brown rudraksha malas around his neck. Behind him, a standing figure in orange robes and gold chains holds a red staff, and other figures in orange and red-gold garments fill the frame. Warm lighting suggests a tent or pandal at a Kumbh Mela camp. Swamiji (probable) is shown by his turban, orange robe, rudraksha malas and seated position among sadhus.2016-05-05May 05 20162016-05-05Outdoor procession at a temple-like grounds with palm trees and a red-and-white tiered shrine structure in the background. A woman in a red-and-gold wrap with a long gold necklace and a red turban smiles at the centre, while a figure in orange robes with a white beaded mala and a white tilak walks beside a man in a white dhoti and gold-trimmed cloth with a rudraksha-style mala. Several men in red, saffron and green robes and turbans follow, along with women in orange and yellow saris. A purple-draped palanquin or chariot structure stands at left, and attendants in white dhotis are visible in the crowd. The orange-robed figure with a white beaded mala is described as a probable match for a person based on saffron clothing and beaded adornment, but the appearance is uncertain, and a shaved-headed attendant in white is a priest or devotee.2015-01-13
