The seated man wears an ornate gold crown, an orange-red garment, a white flower garland, gold necklaces and armbands, and holds a white staff across his lap. The backdrop is a red draped curtain casting shadows, with a bright red-and-gold stage setting and partially visible heads of onlookers in the foreground. Festive Janmashtami-style staging with red, orange and yellow floral decorations.2017-08-14August 14 20172017-08-14A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on a raised golden throne inside a decorated stage tent, smiling at the audience. He wears an ornate gold crown, a long orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a white flower garland, a gold chain with a rudraksha-style pendant and bangles, and holds a long white staff across his lap. The throne is framed by arches of red, orange and yellow marigold garlands with peacock feathers, hanging white and orange decorated pots and red velvet drapes. Brightly coloured tassels and embroidered panels decorate the pillars. Partial heads of audience members are visible at the bottom edge. The appearance matches the Swamiji cues of ornate gold crown, saffron clothing and rudraksha-style adornment, so this is a probable identification of Swamiji seated in person.2017-08-14August 14 20172017-08-14August 14 20172017-08-14A seated man in a golden crown and saffron-orange dhoti and shawl sits on a decorated wooden seat framed by red and yellow flower garlands and a white floral necklace, holding a silver staff and a fan-like peacock-feather item. Behind him hang red drapes, and at upper right a white-and-pink decorated pot with an Om symbol hangs from the frame with peacock feathers. At left, a hand offers something near a richly embroidered blue and orange textile. The setting suggests a Krishna Janmashtami celebration with a decorated swing-like throne and kalasha. The man wears rudraksha beads and gold ornaments; the appearance-based label is a person.2017-08-14August 14 20172017-08-14August 14 20172017-08-14A photograph of a festive Krishna Janmashtami stage decorated with marigold and red flower garlands, peacock feathers, tassels in green, yellow and purple, and hanging white and terracotta pots. A seated man in a saffron-orange robe, gold ornaments, a flower garland and a golden crown holds a long wooden staff across his lap at the centre. On the right, a bare-chested attendant with white body markings, a rudraksha mala, and white dhoti with a striped border stands beside the frame. Red and pink draped fabric forms the backdrop, and in the foreground are clay pots and white cloth. The figure's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, but the identification is uncertain from appearance alone.2017-08-14August 14 20172017-08-14 +1 copiesAugust 14 20172017-08-14
