A photo of a man seated cross-legged and barefoot on a long reddish stone bench under a corrugated metal roof. He wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with gold edging, an orange-and-white checked head cloth, a red bindi, and a thin black cord at his neck. Several men in shirts and trousers stand behind him in an open covered hall, with a colourful painted pillar and striped awning visible at right. The shot is outdoors-open with palm trees beyond the awning. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long dark hair under the orange head cloth and wears saffron clothing, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.2012-01-04January 01 20122012-01-01A photo of a shaved-headed?-no: a man with long dark hair wrapped in a striped white and orange head cloth sits cross-legged on a concrete ledge under a corrugated roof, wearing a saffron-orange robe draped over his shoulder. Nearby, a man in a white dhoti with a red-and-white checked shawl and a long rudraksha-style bead necklace stands beside a man in khaki uniform and another in a light shirt and dark trousers. Behind them, painted red, yellow and green pillars with white bird motifs support a striped canopy, with laundry, bags and shoes scattered on the floor and a steel vessel on the ledge. The seated man's appearance matches the page's Swamiji description on several visible cues, the saffron robe, long hair and head cloth, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) seated in meditation-like repose.2012-01-01January 03 20122012-01-03A man with long swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl edged in gold zari and a long rudraksha mala, walking outdoors past a white temple structure with an orange-flagged pole behind him. Two men stand nearby: one on the left in a red checked shirt with hands folded in namaste, one in white shirt and dhoti, and a man on the right in a white dhoti with a rudraksha mala. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure, identified by the flowing long hair, saffron robes with gold border, and rudraksha mala cues. The white temple and flags suggest a temple setting.2012-04-02A photograph of a seated man in an orange saffron turban and sleeveless saffron robe, with a long rudraksha mala of dark beads around his neck and a red tilak on his forehead. His eyes are closed and he smiles, hands resting in his lap. Behind him, a man in a maroon shirt and a man in a white shirt sit near a large pink-and-red backdrop painting of a temple. To the right, a second person in orange robes sits on a red-cushioned chair with a silver frame. The person in the centre shows distinctive long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, so a person identification is noted here. Four people are visible.2010-01-13Outdoor festival scene under a decorated canopy with hanging green bananas, coconuts, tassels and colourful striped fabric panels. A man with a long, swept-back hair and orange turban wears orange robes with a dark rudraksha mala and gestures while talking with a shaven-headed man in orange robes wearing a gold necklace and gold bracelet. Another man in orange with a gold necklace stands at the right edge, and several onlookers in white and light shirts are visible at left.

A standing man in white dhoti and kurta with an orange scarf stands behind them. A wooden tray of fruit sits beside them, and a flower arrangement of pink, purple and white blossoms decorates a stone ledge at right. The striped red-and-white wall behind suggests a temple setting.2010-07-27A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits on a green-armed chair, smiling as he reaches forward to accept a small orange book offered by a kneeling devotee in a cream and saffron shawl. Behind them, a crowd of men in white kurtas and orange cloth sits and stands, one man in orange holds another book, and a stack of books rests at the lower right.
