A 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 20152015-07-31A 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.2015-07-31July 31 20152015-07-31Outdoor photo of a devotee in a rust-red turban and orange-red robe, wearing layered red and white flower garlands and gold-trimmed beaded necklaces, flinging yellow and orange flower petals with one raised hand. 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.2015-07-31July 31 20152015-07-31A 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 smiling person wearing a rust-orange turban with a red bindi on the forehead sits in front of a dense backdrop of flower arrangements in red, yellow, white, purple and green. They wear a red-and-pink flower garland, multiple gold necklaces including a large ornate gold chain, gold earrings and gold armlets, with an orange shawl draped over the shoulder. Their right hand is raised in a gesture of blessing or greeting. A small portion of another person is visible at the lower right edge. Probable Swamiji cues are present: the orange turban and orange clothing, layered gold ornaments and flower garlands, seated in a place of honour before a floral display. +2 copiesApril 24 20162016-04-24July 31 20152015-07-31December 23 20162016-12-23A seated man in an orange turban and saffron robe, wearing a long gold necklace, rudraksha-style red and white flower garlands and gold bangles, smiles with palms open and raised in front of a large floral backdrop of yellow, orange, red and white marigolds and roses. A bare-chested priest in an orange-and-gold headcloth stands at left, holding a wooden tray with white cloth and a small offering. The scene resembles a ritual offering or blessing, with a bright red sindoor mark visible on the seated man's forehead.2015-07-13 +1 copies
