Behind him, another robed devotee in orange holds a woven basket of yellow marigold petals. Stone steps and a railing lead down to a water tank, its edge strewn with red and yellow flowers, and a blurred crowd sits on the steps.

July 31 20152015-07-31A man in a rust-red turban and saffron-brown robe stands on a raised platform with both arms lifted overhead. He wears a long red and yellow flower garland with a rudraksha mala across his chest, and the platform is heaped with white and yellow flowers at his feet. Behind him, orange-robed men with white sandalwood marks on their bodies and shaved heads stand near a metal railing, and a stepped stone amphitheatre with rows of seats and red flags fills the background. Swamiji (probable): the turban, red-and-gold garlands, rudraksha mala and ceremonial reception on the platform are the qualifying cues for the lead figure, who is honoured as a guest of a satsang event.2015-07-31A smiling man in a rust-orange turban and saffron-orange robe stands in the foreground, a basket of yellow and white flower petals raised above his head as petals scatter through the air. He wears a long layered red and white beaded garland and has a wooden-bead rudraksha-style necklace. Behind him, another person in white and orange holds a basket overhead. Red-and-white stone steps rise behind a metal railing, with several people in white and orange sitting or standing on the steps and a banner at left. A flower-petal shower in an outdoor ceremonial setting. Identity cannot be confirmed from appearance.2015-07-31A smiling man in a rust-red turban and saffron-orange sannyasi robes sits on a flower-covered platform beside a steel railing at a stone-stepped water tank. He wears long red and white flower garlands, rudraksha-style beaded mala necklaces with gold-toned beads, and a bangle on his wrist. Attendants in white and orange robes around him hold woven baskets and scatter petals; marigold and white chrysanthemum petals cover the platform. Another figure sits on the steps in the background. The appearance of this man is consistent with the probable Swamiji cues of turban, saffron-orange attire and rudraksha malas, and the page indicates Swamiji was present at this event, so he is labelled Swamiji (probable) in this in-person photo.2015-07-31July 31 20152015-07-31July 31 20152015-07-31A basket of marigolds and red flowers is being tipped over a stone-edged bathing ghat, scattering yellow and orange petals in motion onto a pile of flowers and a dark cloth below. A person in a red shirt and dark trousers pours the basket, and at the right edge a man in a white dhoti with a bare upper body and a bronze armband stands at the railing, plus a partly visible figure in white near the edge. Green water and red striped steps lie behind.2015-07-31July 31 20152015-07-31July 31 20152015-07-31January 30 20102010-01-30 +1 copiesA person in a rust-orange turban with flower petals on top descends a white metal handrail on an outdoor stairway lined with terracotta planters. The person wears a saffron-and-orange striped garment, a red and orange shawl, a long rudraksha mala and a thick double-layered garland of red and yellow flowers with gold-coloured ornaments. Petals are scattered on the arms and clothing. Behind, a figure in white stands near white rails, with other people in white and light-coloured clothes at the upper left. The appearance is consistent with the page's described a person, with the ornate saffron clothing, turban and rudraksha cues, but the identification is uncertain from appearance alone, so it is described as a person.2015-07-31A photograph of a smiling man in an orange-red turban and saffron clothing standing on a raised platform, arms raised overhead while yellow and white petals fall around him. He wears layered red and red-orange flower garlands, rudraksha beads and a gold-decorated garland. Below him the platform is heaped with white, yellow, orange and red flowers. Behind are metal railings, tiered red steps, a wicker basket and a few people in white and saffron clothing. Swamiji (probable): the figure has a crown-like turban and ornate saffron clothing with rudraksha malas, consistent with the page's claim.2015-07-31
