April 02 20122012-04-02April 02 20122012-04-02A 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 long-haired figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe and a dark rudraksha mala descending a dark granite staircase beside a pale blue wall. The figure has a red tilak on the forehead and is smiling with eyes lowered, one hand gathering the robe. Behind, several men in white dhotis and orange shawls follow down the steps, and a rolled white shutter sits at the right. A probable Swamiji is visible, with long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha beads, descending the stairs among his attendants.2007-02-21December 23 20082008-12-23A photograph of an outdoor gathering on a stone-paved area with a white building behind. In the centre, a smiling man with long, dark, swept-back hair and a red tilak on his forehead wears a saffron-orange shawl over a sleeveless body. Beside him to the right, a younger man in a white kurta wears layered rudraksha malas and a small pendant, and holds a tall pole upright. Around them stand many devotees: a bearded man in a checked shirt with rudraksha mala, men in white and orange clothing, and an elderly white-bearded man at right. Swamiji (probable) is identified by long swept-back hair, saffron shawl and tilak on the central figure, with the page noting his presence at this event.2006-05-22A photograph of an outdoor ashram procession on a sandy courtyard with palm and coconut trees behind. In the centre, a barefoot figure with long dark hair and a red bindi wears a saffron-orange shawl and dhoti with a dark rudraksha mala, walking up steps. Beside and behind them, men in white dhotis and white kurtas with saffron/orange shawls follow, and a man in orange robes walks at the left edge. Several white-clad devotees and onlookers stand on the right, and a white table with items sits near the left. The scene resembles a ritual procession toward a building entrance.2010-07-01November 25 20092009-11-25February 04 20102010-02-04A photograph of a group walking along a brick path beneath a large spreading tree at an outdoor garden. In the foreground a man in an orange saffron wrap with long swept-back dark hair, a rudraksha mala and a bare upper body walks ahead, smiling and looking to the side; this person has distinctive long hair and rudraksha beads, so he is a person candidate. Beside him a younger man in orange robes, and behind them men and women in white and orange shawls, including a man in a blue striped shirt with an ID badge. A large stone planter sits at left and a dark stone structure stands behind the group.2008-06-09April 02 20122012-04-02A photograph of a white temple entrance with carved white pillars and a palm tree at right.
