Around him devotees press in: a man in a white dhoti with gold border and a gold-trimmed shawl holds a small metal plate, and women in saris and gold necklaces stand nearby, with several men bearing white-and-red tilak marks on their foreheads. Swamiji (probable) appearance cues include the saffron robe, garland and long hair, placed in a crowd of devotees. Pale walls and a metal grille behind suggest a temple corridor.2017-02-07 +3 copiesFebruary 12 20132013-02-12May 13 20122012-05-13May 28 20122012-05-28 +2 copiesFebruary 07 20172017-02-07A crowded temple interior with a teal cloth canopy overhead and stone walls behind. At the centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair, a saffron-orange forehead mark, a rudraksha mala, a heavy gold necklace with a large pendant, and a white floral garland stands with his arm around a bearded man in a saffron shirt and pink-white scarf, who holds a mobile phone to take a selfie. Around them are other men in pink and orange clothes, a man in a pink polo with a rudraksha mala, and a young man in an orange and maroon garment with a beaded necklace. Behind, many devotees, some women in saris, press close. The central man's appearance with long hair, ornate gold jewellery and garland matches the description of a person, though the identification is uncertain.2016-06-03A crowded outdoor procession at night in which a central figure in an orange-saffron turban and ornate orange garment, wearing a thick marigold garland and a heavy gold-toned necklace with a mala, smiles and raises one hand in blessing. Around him, men in white dhotis and orange or saffron robes press close, some with white or saffron vibhuti and kumkum marks, while a man in a white vest and red dhoti holds a rudraksha mala. Several people hold up mobile phones and a camera operator with a video camera stands at left, and ceremonial staffs and a silver-tipped standard are visible at upper right. The scene suggests a satsang or procession crowd, with the central figure as the focal point of devotees.2013-02-12Night procession scene in a crowded street with a stone temple wall at left. A central man with a full black beard and long dark hair wears a rust-brown robe, a thick brown rope-like shawl, and a large fresh garland of green leaves, white flowers and pink blossoms; he has a white vertical tilak on his forehead and a red dot. He is smiling and reaching toward a white bowl holding pink flowers, while a man in a white shirt at left extends his hands. Around him, several young men wear saffron-orange cloths, gold beaded necklaces and rudraksha malas, with white and red forehead markings. Swamiji (probable) cues: long dark hair, distinctive rope shawl and garland, and ceremonial saffron-clad attendants around him.2017-02-07
