July 31 20152015-07-31A seated figure in a red-orange turban with a gold ornament and a large rudraksha mala with a gold necklace sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, extending a hand and holding a stack of white cards. Beside him, an elderly man with grey hair and a beard, wearing an orange robe and shawl, bows forward with his hands near the throne's gold lion-head armrest. Behind them is a large banner portrait of a smiling woman in a red turban and gold-trimmed clothing. A second orange-robed man stands at the upper left, hands pressed together in greeting. The figure on the throne is an appearance-based candidate and the visible cues are a red turban with a gold crest, rudraksha beads and a gold necklace, so he is labelled a person in the sense of a probable candidate; the page does not confirm his presence.2014-03-26April 30 20162016-04-30May 02 20162016-05-02A photograph of a ceremonial exchange in an ashram setting.

Seated beside him is a bald man with a yellow tilak, glasses and a rudraksha mala over orange-red robes, hands folded. A kneeling man with long hair in a bun and an orange shawl presses his palms together before the throne. Standing behind are people in white and cream dhotis with rudraksha malas and a woman in a blue kurta and red leggings. Behind the throne stands a brass oil lamp and a gilded deity murti. Appearance-based candidate, probable Swamiji (probable), is the figure on the throne, identified by the turban, rudraksha and gold malas and ceremonial dress; the cues are compatible but not fully distinctive.2015-10-12
