April 30 20142014-04-30Close side profile of a smiling man with swept-back dark hair tied at the back, white vertical markings on his forehead, and a necklace of brown rudraksha beads with a red-orange cord. He looks down toward a large polished silver trident with a gold disc at its base and a red stone set in its prongs, held upright beside him. Blurred green foliage sits in the foreground and a pale interior with a wooden panel stands behind.2014-08-26December 02 20132013-12-02April 30 20142014-04-30Outdoor photo of a man seated before an ornate silver-framed backdrop, holding a large silver trident in his raised right hand while smiling. He wears a reddish-maroon shawl draped over his bare shoulders, a long rudraksha mala around his neck and a shorter wrist mala, with a yellow tilak and red bindi on his forehead. Dark swept-back hair falls to his shoulders. Blurred heads of onlookers fill the foreground against a pale sky. Probable Swamiji: the long hair, rudraksha malas, maroon garment and trident indicate a sannyasi seated for public satsang, consistent with the page's Varanasi satsang event.2014-04-30A man with long, swept-back black hair and a red bindi speaks into a small headset microphone, smiling. He wears a saffron-orange shawl over bare shoulders, a gold pendant necklace and a rudraksha mala. A silver trident with a red stone stands at right against a red-and-dark backdrop, and a gold ornate element is partly visible at left. Swamiji (probable) appears in person at a discourse, with the qualifying cues of long hair, saffron shawl, rudraksha mala and gold necklace.2013-01-11April 30 20142014-04-30August 14 20172017-08-14A smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi sits outdoors, resting his hand against his chin. He wears a red shawl with a patterned trim and a thick gold ceremonial necklace over bare shoulders. A large silver trident stands to the left beside a silver-toned ritual object, with a gold disc behind him. Blurred onlookers, including a woman with a red bindi and several men, are visible in the background under a pale sky. Appearance-based label: a person, seated in a ceremonial setting with a trident.2010-12-22A smiling man with long dark hair swept back stands outdoors against a plain pale sky, holding a silver trident (trishul) upright in his right hand. He wears a deep maroon-red shawl draped over his shoulders and a double-strand of large brown rudraksha beads, with more rudraksha bracelets on his wrists. A yellow-ochre tilak marks his forehead with a red bindi at its centre. Probable Swamiji: long swept-back hair, ochre tilak and rudraksha malas match the candidate's presentation, so the figure is identified as Swamiji by appearance only. The silver trident and maroon shawl are the most prominent objects in the frame.2014-04-30A man holds a silver trident with a red gem near its top, standing outdoors beside a river with a bridge faintly visible in the hazy background. He has a long dark hair, a horizontal orange-yellow sandalwood tilak with a red dot on his forehead, and a red-orange robe over a bare upper body. He wears a headset microphone and multiple rudraksha malas around his neck and wrists, with a thin gold chain visible. Behind him, a second man in a blue-and-white checked shirt and glasses stands partly out of frame before an ornate silver-framed backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the man with the trident has long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas, orange-red robe and sandalwood tilak, matching the page's account of a Varanasi satsang.2014-04-30Outdoor photo of a man in a red-maroon turban and maroon robe, wearing a thick rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, smiling as he walks beside a tall silver trident with a red gem. Behind him a cameraman with a shoulder camera and several people in maroon and rust-coloured clothing stand on grass; a woman with a red bindi is at the right edge. Some a person cues are present: a turban, rudraksha mala, ceremonial gold necklace and robe in ritual colours, but the figure's appearance is uncertain.2015-12-21
