Outdoor photograph of a long-haired man in an orange saffron robe with gold border and a long rudraksha mala, pouring water from a hose or pipe held by a man in a blue checked shirt and grey trousers. Water streams from his cupped hands onto the ground. Beside him stand a woman in an orange sari and a bald young man in a white dhoti with gold-bordered shawl, holding a rudraksha mala. A white building with a wooden door and a tree stand behind. The orange-robed man with long hair and rudraksha beads is a person candidate, shown performing a ceremonial water-pouring rite.2012-04-02April 02 20122012-04-02April 02 20122012-04-02April 02 20122012-04-02July 03 20082008-07-03A photograph of a long-haired man in a bright orange saffron shawl draped over his shoulders, wearing a heavy gold necklace of large beaded ornaments with black bands and a tilak mark on his forehead. He is turned to the side and holds an orange cloth in his hands. Behind him, men in white shirts and a man wearing a black rudraksha-style mala stand among green trees in an outdoor crowd. Other people are partly visible in white and light clothing.2008-12-23A smiling man with long dark hair stands outdoors in front of a stone wall and trees, wearing an orange saffron shawl with gold-edged border draped over his bare shoulder and a long strand of dark rudraksha beads. A red bindi is on his forehead and a white marking is visible. Behind him, several people in everyday and white clothing, including a woman in a cream sari with red border and a woman in a dark patterned sari, look on, some holding papers and phones. Probable Swamiji is presented in this appearance-based label given his saffron shawl, long hair and rudraksha mala, but this is not a confirmed identification.2012-04-01A photograph of a man with long, swept-back black hair wearing an orange saffron shawl and a heavy gold necklace of beads with dark stripes and a gold pendant. He has white and red forehead markings, stands with clasped hands, and gazes to the side. Behind him, several people in orange and white clothing stand in a sunlit outdoor procession, one holding a tall wooden pole topped with a yellow and blue embroidered banner.2008-12-23A man with long, swept-back curly dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead pours water from a brass vessel over a dark stone shivalinga during an abhishekam. He wears an orange sleeveless top with an orange shawl draped over his shoulders and a gold bead necklace of large round beads. Water splashes over the stone linga. To the left, a bearded man in orange robes stands partly visible, and another orange-clad figure appears at the right edge. Swamiji (probable): the man pouring water has long swept-back hair, orange ornate clothing and a gold necklace, consistent with the page's Swamiji reference.2010-02-12April 02 20122012-04-02A man with long, swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and white vibhuti marks, wearing an orange saffron shawl and sleeveless orange garment and a gold bead necklace, pours water from a brass kalasha over a dark stone linga during abhishekam. Water splashes over the linga and its peetha. Another saffron-robed man stands behind him, and a third person in orange stands at the right edge. Several orange-clad people are partly visible in the frame.2010-02-12A photograph of a man standing barefoot-adjacent on a grey floor in front of an orange-painted wall under a corrugated roof. He wears a sleeveless saffron-orange robe draped over one shoulder and a long rudraksha mala of dark brown beads reaching his waist, with long dark hair swept back, white vibhuti and a red tilak on his forehead. His hands are pressed together at his waist. Behind him, women in white and yellow-bordered saris and shawls stand watching, one holding a pink container, with a water bottle and a red mat nearby. A framed picture hangs on the wall. Appearance cues match the probable Swamiji with saffron clothing, long swept-back hair and rudraksha malas, so this is labelled Swamiji (probable) in the in-person standing role.2010-09-07
