A 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.

A 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.2015-07-31July 31 20152015-07-31July 31 20152015-07-31A smiling man in an orange-saffron robe and a rust-brown turban with a white tilak stands under a canopy with a raised right hand and holds a tall silver staff in his left hand. He wears a thick pink and white flower garland, a brown rudraksha-style mala, and a heavy gold necklace. Behind him, a fringed canopy in purple, teal and orange hangs with more flower garlands, and other figures in saffron and white stand nearby, one with a bare upper body and white markings, and another in white with gold trim on the left. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure, distinguished by his turban, saffron clothing, long hair and gold ornaments, shown during a procession setting.2013-02-10A photograph at dusk of a smiling man in a saffron-orange turban and matching saffron shawl, seated on a decorated vehicle beneath a canopy hung with marigold and pink-and-white flower garlands. He wears a red tilak on his forehead, rudraksha-style beaded bracelets, rings, a gold necklace, and a large flower garland; he raises both open palms in greeting. Behind him, a man with a shaved head and light sacred markings on his forehead holds a tall silver staff. Illuminated street lamps and a crowd fill the background. Swamiji (probable): the saffron turban, shawl, beaded mala and ceremonial garlands suggest a sannyasi being honoured in procession.2013-02-12December 31 20172017-12-31 +1 copiesJuly 31 20152015-07-31A smiling man in saffron-orange robes and a gold crown with red stones stands under a decorated canopy with a blue and purple fringed top and marigold garlands.

A bald man in white with a white forehead band and tilak sits in front of him, partly visible at the bottom.

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.2015-07-31
